Subject: [ukha_d] Cable Modem
I
am
getting my Cable Modem installed on 7th April. I have already got the CM
delivered and have phoned NTL to get the MAC address registered.
I
have a phone line, bsic digital TV and a 64k Cable Modem for £17 per month
-
that can't be bad :-)
My
Father has the 512k modem and it *really* flies!!
I
do
most of my big downloads at work and I only occasionally surf at home. I
just
wanted the 'always on' feature for the internet at home.
Now
I should be able to run that Homeseer server :-)

Install...
Well, the BT guy called this morning dead on time
at 8 AM having called 15minutes earlier on his way to make sure that I was
in/up (kudos to the guy for that).
I think it was the easiest install he'd had to do
... given that the previous occupants had had HH before we'd moved in then
the phone point was right where it was most convenient, there was still
the power point right by it too. He even hooked the box up onto
the original two screws that the previous one had been hanging
from!
Anyway ... it's encouraging ... I'm connecting in
less time and getting connection speeds of 45.6kbits with transfer rates
of about 4kbytes/sec - AND THAT'S ON MY ANALOGUE MODEM! Dang ... I've
complained about the crap line quality that we have many times before and
there's always (supposedly) been nothing that they could do. It seems I
could get an immediate hike in analogue modem speed by upgrading to HH!
*grin* Anyway ... will try out my ISDN TA this afternoon/evening and see
what we can get on that!
Cheers Guys.
Phil
