I used to be with bell and I was only getting 2mb/s when I was suppose to be getting 5mb/s (yeah we have slow internet in Canada), I called up bell about the slow speeds and how they get away with not providing the full 5mb/s is by adding "up to" in the fine print, bunch of feckers, I dumped them right there and then and signed up with another ISP, now I'm getting 5.5mb/s, I guess my point is that some of these ISP's can be pretty sneaky and they know how to screw their customers over.[url]http://www.speedtest.net/result/1286914917.png[/URL]
just come in and tried again and speeds of almost 17 but i will ring them tomorrow and find out why site says i should be getting 30 for the price im paying and why they have not upped it on my account, so if i am meant to be getting 30 then 17 is not to good :(
Ah right, gotchya. I understood now.
Before I purchased a PS3, i had the WDTV media player for viewing all my standard and hi-definiton shows. I still prefer the WDTV because of the remote. The PS3 controller can become a pain for me. There are some release groups that encode in a way that the PS3 cannot decode so i often find that majority of the releases i download will work on my WDTV but not on my PS3. But that is a neat idea still.
I know what you mean Dan there are certain files that the PS3 cannot play or won't play without having to recode them to a different file format, just stick to divx, xvid, wmv and mt2s and you'll be fine.
Yep. I tend to favour the 720p/HD more now that i have the WDTV media player, so beginning to walk away from just the .avi container. I believe sooner or later "mp4" will become the new "avi" so to speak.
Bit the bullet..
Went for the 30MB upgrade, my superdud, sorry my superhub should be arriving in the next few days. *Praying to God that it does not screw me around, but if it does, i'm free so I can deal with it, patiently, i hope...*
Dans shame:
Getting charged that £30 activation fee :(, been wondering whether or not to upgrade, and i got fed up and went for it. :)
Will keep you all up to update. :)
