    Hello,

    I am having a cable modem installed this week, and they told me that the upstream is limited to 128k/sec...

    hmmmm, i guess it is kinda slow but i overheard that there is a way to speed things up a little bit with some kind of software.

    Anyone ever did that?!

    If you use compatible networking compression (not sure what layer), then you can extract extra speed from it.

    If the telephone companies get their act together, within the next two years everyone could be running on ASDL lines & we'd all be at that speed.

    I have not heard of any software for this though...

    Except in the UK, where BT have a stranglehold on the telecoms market.

    Talking Can't wait

    Apparently, the licence for their "stranglehold" is up in a few months.

    Other 'phone companies will be able to join in the research soon and hopefully overtake the geedy b!*@*#ds (nothing against BT of course)!

    How much uploading do you Do? it's not like your uploading 2GB or something. Cable is as slow as the slowest part of your computer and the area your in. My CM recieves a max of 10MBPS, but i don't get speeds of over 2MBPS. Upstream is less, but still fast.

    Parksie: What's this about a hyperlinks patent? Tell me more - or point me in the direction of the discussion.

    It was in all the newspapers and splattered across the web a few weeks ago. Basically, BT are claiming that one of their employees, during the 70s, invented the hyperlink, and they were trying to get all US and UK ISPs to pay them royalties. Needless to say, the world told them in one voice to sod off. It's quietened down again now.

    It must have been when I was knocked out with flu. Sodding BT will try anything now that they are running scared because of NTL's free connection.
