And he lied...he doesn't get his full 8 meg....see this post

"I just downloaded a 695 MB Linux distro in about 14 mins.
That's a sustained 6620 kbps. Another tick for IDNet."

Thats certainly nowhere near his 8meg.

Here's a few speed tests he posted

He claims the bbmax test is accurate and yet he can hardly reach as high as
7 megs let alone his full 8 he's now claiming to get.

The maximum download rate possible with BT's max dsl is 7150 kbps when you have
an 8128 kbps sync. Which is what I have.

It's 92.5% of the maximum possible which is very good. I have had faster
downloads but it does depend on the path and the server on the other end of
course.

Did anyone ever call you a whiney twat btw ?

This just frustrates me, because it is so pathetic to bait people like
that when he wrote a perfectly acceptable post. Whatever group
politics exist, please, keep it thread specific.

So ALL ADSL suppliers,including Idnet,are misleading with their advertising
then because,according to you,no one can get the 8meg they advertise. Yet
you complain about VM's advertisin.g..i think you need to look at your own
ISP first.
You also claimed you got the "full" rate of your connection when you don't
even seem to achieve the 7150 kbs,
I'm also not interested in your sync rate.....you could sync at 1 gig,but
if you can only consistently d/load at 1 kbs then 1 kbs is the connection
you've got.Your connection states it 8 meg....and you NEVER get
it.....contrary to your claim that you get a full 8 meg connection

What you said was
"I get a full 8 meg connection with 'ordinary' ADSL"
You don't....you're not even getting the full speed you say is possible on
your line,eg:7150 kbs

Only you...but you call everyone that disagrees with you (or shows you up
to be a liar) similar names anyway.

Be's service is ADSL2+, not ADSL2. Also, the router must be able to
support RFC1483 bridged mode in order to work.

Yes.

I've complained to Ofcom but they don't seem to care.

Does that mean only a single ethernet device can be connected?
