i had ntl for one year about 2 or 3 years ago. only used it for sky tv and phone, but they used to disconnect us all the time for no reason and then their customer services was always engaged so it was impossible to talk to anyone to sort it out. we often went without TV and phone for five or six days at a time. very very annoying. they even had the cheek to charge us for the time when we were disconnected. im not the only person i know who’s had these problems with NTL either. In fact your are the first person ive ever heard say anything good about NTL. anyway maybe they’ve sorted everything out but i would never ever go back to them not even if it was free. anyway rant over

evilsock hope you can get broadband soon. try kicking the telly it always works for me

tiscali sucks far greater than any other ISP.

They have the worst customer service in the world (is in India), always engaged and cuts you OFF after 1 minute of an engaged tone/silly message!!!

They have a real problem with ping, most users (you can check if you want) have a ping of about 150ms between 7ish and 11ish at night.

Check out the articles at www.adslguide.org and read the forums, check out the service provider compare page at http://www.adslguide.org/isps/compare.asp

ok well, I got this from Nildram yesterday confirming that DSL will be available after all…

Dear Internet user,

In the past you may have been unable to get a Broadband ADSL service - but we have some very good news:

With effect from 6th September 2004, BT will be removing the distance limits for 512kbps Broadband ADSL services and extending the reach for 1Mbps Broadband ADSL services from 3.5km to 6km from the exchange!

This means that there is now a very high probability that you too can now have a top quality Broadband ADSL service from Nildram!

Nildram are able to accept priority orders NOW - so don’t delay - be part of the Broadband Revolution!

Simply enter your details here and a member of our Broadband Team will contact you to take your order.

Alternatively, please contact us on 0800 197 1468

Please do not use the online order form on the main Nildram website as this will reject orders outside the current parameters until the BT Change on 6th September.

Well, I’m not holding my breath but it looks better now…

Today I placed an order with Nilram for their DSLpro 500 service - it’s been accepted (again) and slated to go live on
on the 16th September (a day I’ll always remember - snigger).

So, who’s up for some etmain goodness on SD’s server on or around the 16th at a reasonable hour (like 8:00pm -> 11:00pm) ?
Failing that how about we all go give one of Kendles custom map servers a good workout?

Just thought I’ let you all know that I’m now officially DSL’d =)

576KB download 256Kb upload :slight_smile:

(blushing_bride) #31

nice one. You can find most of the old SD regulars on a different server. its etpro and has some custom maps (fast download off the server and all small maps so they won’t take you more then a few minutes)

I can attest to this server, great games last nite and fun atmosphere.

I like the campaign structure, 2 officials and 1 custom rotating… whats the exact rotations BB?

(blushing_bride) #33

At the moment the three campaigns are

1.Fuel Dump, Railgun and Cathedral
2.Goldrush, Oasis, Rommel
3.Dubrovnik, Radar, Townsquare

all the maps are 6mb or less and should take less then three minutes to download. we usually wait for people to download the map before starting it as well

\o/ - nice one bravver, nice one!
