Hi, I am looking for a new ISP as my current ISP 'tiscali' are .... far from excellent. Basically I use the internet for movies/music and web browsing. I also have an ICS with my PS3. Lately I've been play COD4 online through the PS3 and have had real trouble getting online at certain times. I investigated into this and have now found out that tiscali have been blocking certian ports on people's connections so they cannot play certain games on the ps3.
I'm interested in your broadband but would just like to know if freeola will be doing the same as them. I would appreciate a response to this, I've got my MAC code already so just looking around to see whats what.
I know this isn't the correct place to post this but was hoping you guys might know, or know a decent ISP that doesn't block ports etc.
Cheers

ok, so all I need to do is wire in the current wires to that one instead of the faceplate thats on there at the moment and it will solve the problem as it splits the signal at source anyway.

Sounds good for £10 (plus rip off postage from Amazon).

and Vexxxed, thanks for the BT link, looks like my area will be July 2009, but I'll believe that when I see it!

Yep that's about it.


21CN - obviously BT's 21CN won't resolve peoples own internal wiring issues where a LOT of the problems occur. Also it sounds as if most (all?) of the improvements are being done on the exchange side, so the 'local loop' with knackered 40 year old copper and ally wire remains :¬(

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and any improvement is welcome!

ON BT's 21CN site they say:
"...That said the laws of physics are not going to change and distance from the exchange and other factors will affect a customer's broadband speed."

Time will tell. If you are close to your exchange and on a half decent line you're lucky!
