got a result now here

it said the ISP was TalkTalk but I dont think thats right.shes trying to find out now. the result in post 15 earlier said it is Opal Telecom

Hey Baz doesn't the banner in your signature tell her?

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:42:27

If your daughter's viewing this topic right now, Baz, it comes back as Opal Telecomm.

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:44:52

Opal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Carphone Warehouse, so could be on the Talk Talk network.

I'm surprised the throughput is so low, even if it is the TalkTalk network. It's actually not that bad...

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:47:21

It's a rubbish throughput for the sync, though, isn't it, Seb.

Sebby · Mar 22, 2009, 18:48:39

Yeah, absolutely terrible. I'm just saying that I wouldn't expect such a poor throughput even from the likes of TalkTalk.

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:50:31

Ah, the innocence of youth.

Sebby · Mar 22, 2009, 18:51:15

No, seriously, I know a few people who are on TalkTalk. Whilst their customer service is the pits, the actual network seems to be okay.

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:52:10

Don't forget this is in Manchester.

Baz · Mar 22, 2009, 18:53:36

thing is its been spot on for about 4 months now and its just over the past few weeks thats its slowed

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:54:02

Classic signs of congestion on the network, Baz.

pea · Mar 22, 2009, 18:58:07

Hiya!

I had to sign up, it was frustrating reading the comments but not being able to reply!

So yeah, hi...thanks for all that, and you're right it, is Manchester, after all! But the connection has been really good up until a couple of weeks ago. There's a notable difference now, can't stream things smoothly anymore etc. Odd....

Rik · Mar 22, 2009, 18:58:22

You're welcome, Baz (and Pea).

Baz · Mar 22, 2009, 18:58:57

cya later Pea, feel free to call in ANY time.
