Calling All Mancunians / Lancashire..i..ums?

Posted by kircRueL on the 24th of September 2008 at 9:05 AM

Hello!

Just a short and sweet question really, if you live in the north-west can you please do me a big favour as I am looking to change my ISP:

  • Go to www.speedtest.net and paste the result here.
  • I know us UKCSers like to whine but can you give me an honest answer about how good your connection is for gaming? Ping/Choke.Loss/Feel?
  • Oh and where exactly you are, and what ISP you have.
  • Oh oh and what service and how much you pay for it.


Thank you soooooooo much friends

Peace be with you all! Love.

No you spaz, you have to ring the ISP and ask them, or email their tech support.

Although this thread may give you a general idea of what an ISP is like in a certain region, the chances are that each ISP's performance changes from exchange to exchange, so unless you know someone on the same exchange as you, your still going to have to get lucky.
