[QUOTE="annwe717, post: 102280, member: 176162"] Because bt said they would never supply broadband to silly suffolk, I invested in a dish, sky2pci card and some software from a german outfit who now call themselves skydsl.de. Now, bt have changed their mind because some of us have made a noise and demanded govt money to put in a WLAN dist system. ( It'l never get off the groound round here. People are too cautious and tight). So, we are about to get ASDL, but I don't understand what bt are offering, Typical bt chaos marketing. How do you tell the difference between the various speeds which everyone quotes? Are kB/sec bits or bytes? Are Kb/sec bits or bytes? How do you tell the difference. The sky/dsl package also varies its speed offerings but sometimes, if traffic is good, I can download at meg every 10 secs, but what is a Mb...bits or bytes....my pc says its downloading at 115KB per sec.....is that bits or bytes. Should I stick with my current system for surfing the net or go to ASDL....I pay 17 euros per month for 1000kp per sec, so they are quoting bits, ok?? In addition, I still need the bt internet server for the upload. Thats another £17 so my .net costs are about £32 per month. bt broadband quotes its basic speed at 1Mb............and nothing else. Per what I don't know, but its £18 for the whole nine shillings and £25 for twice the speed. What's the catch? Is there a server cost on top?......don't need one do I? I'll still keep my sat dish etc no matter what and go into sat tv with a motorised gismo. Hopefully. [/QUOTE]
