Yep, I'm downloading Zimbra at the moment from Yahoo's servers (presumably as Yahoo own Zimbra). You'd think Yahoo would be quick but no, I'm limited to about 1MB a sec. Or the rest of the bandwidth could be used up by the wife doing online surveys I guess.Steph Foster wrote:One thing bugs me still , I am still on Virgin on 50 Mbps and its great for downloading a Linux iso but often when browsing websites such asThats the sites that are runing slow - you could have 100Terahz and it wont improve the download times - that's what's so pointless about this thing - I've just had a couple of old geezers what live in town and have 8Meg BB and they though I had too and were surprised when I told em it was 1/2meg. BB is like the M25 - no matter what the bandwidth is you aint getting there any quicker!Sky News, BBC, Virgins home site and many others the page speed is poor
If I refused unneeded data, that could cut out half of the stuff I get via various mailing list subscriptions :-)Be patient and refuse unneeded data - try turning images off on the BBC site - these news is the same but arrives a lot faster. Ensure flashblock is on all your machines. And try and work out what is the point in being able to download an ISO ten times faster than you can install it.I see very little difference than I used to when getting 4 Mbps from Bloody Terrible ( thats my nickname for BT , lol)Any body got any ideas ?
