[QUOTE theSCIENTIST] BTW: Diep that's a fine connection you have, what is it SDSL? Expenssive?
[/QUOTE]
Infact, all the ISP's in Holland are lowering their prices to get more client's, so the price dropped from 120 EUR to 75 EUR/month. SDSL is way more expansice, usually about 400 - 500 EUR/month.
Also, the ISP's have increased the connection speed, my old upstream was about 1500, and they just added 500 kb/s to it, so I'm quite happy now!

Humm, how's the house prices in Holland? :)
You are using ADSL, and I though ADSL couldn't have that much upstream, I guess some countries are changing the ATM's to allow it..
Over here in the UK the maximum ADSL upstream you get is 512Mbits, if you want more you need SDSL, alot more expenssive.
Again the UK riding at the back tale of Europe.

Idd, that's more like transatlantic pipelines or something. BTW, it is 1024 (???).. Looked at the wrong section in the telnet router configuration.
That makes 8096 Down, 1024 Up (2048 is is the max router up)

That is some nice speed. I think 8096 is the max any DSL can do. Unless you got Fiber. I wish I could get that here but speeds for residential are regualted so if I want faster then my 2Mbit I'd had to go to a business account which is much more expensive

Yeah, the upstream I mentioned translates to +- 60Kps, it's not fast at all  but enough for low traffic.

Kps? Anyway, 8096/8 = 1012 Kilo Bytes/Sec, 1024/8 = 128 Kilo Bytes/Sec
That's basicly what it is, since 8 bit = 1 byte right? Anyway, this is a bit offtopic

Off topic indeed.. I usually use kps's because that's what people see in IE's download box, so it's easier for them to relate to the diff speeds, anyway you seem to know about it.
