I think he had a hand in their new invoice system by the looks of it

I must say despite my often cynical outlook ,the hostlink connection ( for those of us on good old adsl max) has exceeded my expectations, pings remain low and very stable, the ping to ping variation is minimal. Throughput has remained high for me with a small drop about mid evening.So that praise no doubt will put the dampers on it.

so far since it went live my through put has been nice and high the only thing that has changed is my Ping has increased slightly but im still a very happy bunny

IDNet were pretty confident about the hostlink, A&A's testing had shown no issues, unlike those afflicting all early WBC adoptors.

I've just swapped our router at work for a Draytek Vigor 2820VSn, and things are even better now.

Tracing route to www.idnet.net [212.69.36.10]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms Vigor.router [192.168.1.1]

Trace complete.

Now I've moved to SuperMax, I'm experiencing no slowdowns at lunchtime either.

So that puts the BT setup in the frame, Seb.

Sebby · Nov 25, 2009, 18:28:45

It does. It's a shame that one has to pay more for a service that should be standard, but such is life (at least where BT are involved).

Email Ian Livingstone, he'll get fed up with us eventually.

Those pings look pretty good,I managed to improve mine as well by using a Draytek modem or do you think its down to the supermax?

Rik · Nov 25, 2009, 18:56:38

I do, Steve, I saw it shave 4ms off my pings.

Sebby · Nov 25, 2009, 19:19:42

My pings dropped to around 10-11ms on SuperMax with the original SpeedTouch 585v6, but have fallen to around 6ms with the Draytek.
