Got a random upgrade recently. I used to have a 4Mb/512Kb line, but now it's up to about 10/1[thumbup].

It should be 1800/1000 or about but still not bad eh.

**OccabsLam** · 09-12-2007, 08:54 PM

As fast as advertised.

**KimLinbert** · 09-12-2007, 09:10 PM

18mb/1mb ADSL. Unlimited data. 29.99 euro per month (including telephone service).

Very happy that The Netherlands has the best developed net infrastructure in Europe.

Which ISP, I'm on Orange Familly but thinking on going to Tele2 which is slower down but faster up and comes with a free lappy

Mine is Orange (which was in turn wanadoo). I'm very close to the local exchange, and had the engineer hardwire my livebox in, to make sure the cable where the connection enters the house is as short as possible (8cm to be precise!). Apparently the length of the cable between house-entry and your livebox is critical - for every 10cms you can loose up to 1mb in speed.

What do you mean by house-entry and livebox chris? I'm confused

First you have the cable to your house from the street. Then you have a connection from where the cable enters your house, to your ADSL modem itself (for Orange/Wanadoo their ADSL modem is called a "livebox"). Is the length of this cable which has the potential to kill your ADSL speed, if it is too long.

**LSDDSL** · 09-13-2007, 02:24 AM

the figures should be:

20000kb/s download and 768kb/s up
but this is what happends when virgin media decided to enforce some thing as ridiculous as traffic shapping, which cuts my speed to a quarter of it's intended speed.

I have a crappy 1M/512Kbps HomePNA connection. The price isn't bad though - just 10 euro/month.

Based on what?

Yes, line length does kill speed...
Cable from DSLAM to me is bit over 2km and connection still works 16M/2M over that length (ADSL2+ Annex M). It's not _that_ bad.

Theoretical speeds on ADSL2 and ADSL2+ over distance

Also Modem/Router and firmware+'line code' it's using makes huge difference.

Sorry Chris but that does only mean that we got a large percentage off our households on broadband, not that the broadband providers we got have the best infra structure.
