How fast would you like your connection to go?

and of course the three lions.

Rik · Jun 03, 2010, 16:05:59

Less prominent, sadly.

They did have a nice red England polo shirt in M&S which I was tempted to buy but did not want to get tarred with the scumbags.

Rik · Jun 03, 2010, 16:15:38

That can be very messy.

My local B&Q has a really fine range of England branded polo shirts, retractable rules and other hand tools, banners, chavmobile flags etc. Such a difficult decision knowing what to buy first - so I didn't!

Wise man.

I rather liked the England wheelbarrow!

It won't be used for carrying the trophy home.

I would like my connection to go so fast there was no mention of England or Football in the same sentence as it has gone so fast its travelled thorough time to a future place that does not involve knuckle dragging and flags and balls

I'm sure Cisco/Juniper/Brocade/Force10 will probably work on interdimensional routers in the future Gary but I think for now they are struggling with how to accelerate connections to 100 Gbps and beyond

Was trying to remember as many router manufacturers as I could so I would not be accused of manufacturer bias.

Rik · Jun 04, 2010, 10:35:43

You left out Belkin.

pctech · Jun 04, 2010, 11:05:29

Was really talking about ISP/carrier grade routers Rik.

Rik · Jun 04, 2010, 11:08:40

I know, but I couldn't resist Mitch.

pctech · Jun 04, 2010, 11:18:14

Yes

esh · Jun 16, 2010, 12:13:28

I'd like 10M up. I can live with a few Mbit down though.

Rik · Jun 16, 2010, 12:16:24

I suspect you're in a minority, Esh.

esh · Jun 16, 2010, 12:20:31

My previous ISP had the peculiar package setup of 8M down and 256k up or the 800k up with...0.5M down. I got used to it...

pctech · Jun 16, 2010, 12:24:06

Didn't run out of a shed near you did it?

esh · Jun 16, 2010, 23:28:02

Haha, I think they pretty much used to back in the day. Then they got bought up by Pipex/Tiscali, so I know their tech support ended up working out of a shed... in asia somewhere (hence the move).
