Hi razor angel,

If you look back to smoe older posts, I've always recommended Zen to people, I've a couple of m8's who use it and from what I've heard it rocks like cliffs in a storm.

On DSL your looking at downloads of 60k on Kazaa (I'm assuming that you have a 1mb line from Telewest) at max, maybe 62k, and pings around 35 in games.

Not bad.
 
Hi,

Been using ZenADSL (512K home package) for a while now. Very :D

DL's come in at ~60Kb/sec. Using WinMX I get a huge variety of speeds, none of which I believe.

Just performed ADSL guides speed test to give you a better idea :-

Downstream
Actual Speed - 455 Kbps (56.9 KB/sec)
True Speed - 523 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream
Actual Speed - 264 Kbps (33.0 KB/sec)
True Speed - 303 Kbps (inc. overheads)

pretty typical results for my connection.

Its reliable on the whole, but recently experienced a slowing of downstream speeds which affected every ADSL service. It's to their credit that they identified the cause of the problems and posted the solutions (tweaking settings, partic MTU and RWIN). Support is 9-5, Mon-Fri. Not ideal, but I've only contavted them once and they knew what they were doing.

My line was activated early. About 4 or 5 days after I ordered the service on their site.

Go on, choose Zen. You know it makes sense.
