UPS a daisy 

[Rik]

UPS a profile step. 

[Den]

at least it was a step in the right direction

[Rik]

Boom boom 

[Sebby]

So do you think the power conditioning has helped then, Rik?

[Rik]

Probably not, Sebby, but you never know. I do think the 2700 has helped though.

[Sebby]

Without a doubt the 2700 will have helped; it's that good!

I'm still looking for an excuse to buy a UPS. 

[Rik]

I already have four... Why wait.

One for the 2700, one for the computer, one for the monitor and external HDs, one for the old machine.

I'm just paranoid.

I'm still looking for an excuse to buy a UPS. 

In a word filtering a good ups is one of the best filters you can get!

i use an apc 1400 runs my telly, media server web and emailserver, switch and router. as well as the radio gear i have on 24/7.

i genrally use a laptop so thats on battery most of the time no need for a ups

[Rik]

I actually used to run my lappy on UPS when it was on mains, Dean, just to stabilise the voltage, which tends to regularly go over here, 249-250V is not uncommon.

[g7pkf]

True.

My laptop psu is rated 90-260V one psu for all market's

[Lance]

Great result with the extra speed Rik! What's the noise margin like? Still up and down, or has it settled again?

[Rik]

It's 9db (my target) during the day, dropping to 7db when the street light on my front lawn comes on. I've actually been able to correlate the cause over the past few days when the light has been coming on during the day. Now, can I persuade the council to relocate the light??

[Lance]

Nothing a little vandalism can't sort! 

[Rik]

A few turning lorries have tried.

[Sebby]

Now, can I persuade the council to relocate the light??

Unlikely, but you may be able to get them to have a look at it; there may be a fault.

[Rik]

I can try, but I suspect that if it's working, it's not faulty by their standards.

[Sebby]

Probably, but it's worth a try. Some people on Think Broadband have been successful.

[Rik]

Our council presides over what it terms as managed decline - iow, they can't afford to maintain things properly, so they are letting maintenance go as a matter of policy.

[Sebby]

Ah, well perhaps it won't be so easy then. Still, at least it doesn't cause your connection to drop; I know that can happen. 

[Rik]

If that starts to happen, I might just disconnect it.

[Sebby]

Good plan, although you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll come and reconnect it.

[Rik]

That depends on just how much dynamite I use. 

[Sebby]

 

All that trouble for a stable connection. 

[Den]

Who said anything about horses?
