YAY !!! At last I have ADSL at home now

[Jabba]

Damn it doesn't seem like much now but when you have had to put up with a 56k modem for the last 6 months and trips back to the office to upload Top Gear at 1 am...it kinda seems like the fastest connection in the world right now...and its only 1MB/256

I was getting some good upload speed's last night - between 30-32 kB /sec and managed to upload the following videos.

Tyson vs William (inc pre & post fight analysis)

KGB - Secret UFO Files PR 1

KGB - Secret UFO Files PR 2

Prepare yourself for plenty more videos over the next few days.

[TT]

That's great news!! And upstream is kinda enough even for 100 to 200 MB files IMO!

Can't wait for the next load to come :D

[yg60m]

They took their time, it was schedule for june isn't it ?
Anyway, that 's a good news, i don't know how i could do if i had to do with a 56k connection :?
Hopefully you had DSL in work !! :D

[Jabba]

The exchange was enabled on 28th July and I got activated on the 3rd of August so I guess I cant complain.

[yg60m]

No, you can't :wink: I thought it was scheduled for june.
BTW, what are your speeds in your workplace ?

[Jabba]

Not much better 2MB/256....but we are looking at bonded ADSL right now that would give us upto 8MB/1MB

http://www.nildram.net/pdf/bondedbroadband.pdf

Just imagine being able to UPLOAD Top Gear in about 25 minutes.

[ARMAN]

Tyson! ...sounds good :P
It must be a releaf to surf with faster net :mrgreen:

[jon_s]

Nice one! It has been a long time coming! I am waiting for our free speed upgrade from NTL :P still not as quick as yours though lol

[Jabba]

To celebrate I couldnt resist buying a wireless notebook for browsing JW in the garden.

It felt kinda weird though last night uploading videos from outside that are flying through the air over to my router and then onto the JW server.

Not a bad price and I am 100% happy with everything so far.

hey jabba you should look at a toshiba tablet. My father has one and it is really cool. he just installed an 11G wirless card so it can keep up with our nework connect some what. anyway that is a nice laptop. how far does the wireless system allow you to go?

[Jabba]

its great when you can relax in your garden with the sun up, a cold one in your hand and JW on the lcd..... :D

how far from the house do you have accses to the net?


btw thats one very clean carpet........"jabba the housekeeper".... :wink:

hahahah you don't miss a trick !!!

Well its a room that I don't really use hence the carpet has remained in its "new" state

On the subject of floors....after all the work that was put into my wood flooring...it all had to be sanded down and re-done...as the first attempt didn't work properly (the top layer started to mark badly).

Anyway...after a lot of mess (a mini sand storm) having to pack all my computers away (another reason to buy the notebook) it is all finished...and ready for a different type of wood varnish...that so far looks much better.

[Jabba]

It has been a real nightmare....as prior to the sanding they all had to be stripped with a paint stripper type chemical (nitro moors).

I should think it added another £3K onto the whole project...that makes me feel absolutely sick...(probably a couple of doors on the M3CSL that I am dreaming off)

Anyway as you say....as long as it looks good in the end....then thats the most important thing.

[Jabba]

I have tested the wireless network out to around 100ft and it dropped down to 11MB...I am going to try alot more testing tonight....I also have a few phone sockets that I can move the router to that might improve the performance slightly.

[mindgam3]

Who is your new adsl connection with??

[Jabba]

Nildram

I thought that might be a problem with wireless as you live in such a big ass house :mrgreen:

[Jabba]

I think you can buy extra wireless access points...but on a 1MB connection 11MB is still ok....I have a wired 1 gigabyte network for shifting the bigger video files around.

[BADMIHAI]

It's good to have you back! I also wanted to thank you for all the extra work you put into this place when you had the 56 k line at home. 8)

[Jabba]

Yes there was alot of running about at past midnight getting the videos uploaded so you got to see Top Gear shortly after it was aired....also got pulled by the Police on one occasion as I think they thought I was trying to break in or something...they asked me why I was going to the office so late....I couldn't exactly say to upload TG for JW....so I just said I had some work to sort out...I think they thought either this guy is very dedicated to his job or he is some sort of weirdo nut....probably a bit of both I guess.

LOL... a person arrives at the office in a new 3-series/355/Diablo and you get asked if you are breaking in :lol:

I really appreciate what you have been doing, but i get to watch the shows on TV usually, so i guess our foreign members are even more grateful.. if that's possible 8)

[mindgam3]

lol @ getting stopped by the police ;)

LOL, If you were in the 355/ Diablo they would have both made excellent getaway cars 8) the police wouldn't have stood a chance :D BTW have the police come round to arrest you on behalf of the BBC yet :P :wink:

[Jabba]

I am still on the run I guess from Josh and the BBC....the trouble with the police around here is they are suspicious of everything that is slightly out of the ordinary....I guess legging it across a private car park with a CD in my hand wearing a tracksuit at midnight can be seen as fairly suspicious behavior.

It's kind of nice to know the police even bothered to ask questions. Could have prevented a burglary!

Yeah... but i bet the office next door was getting burgled just as the stopped Jabba.. that's Britain for you :wink:

[AlienDB7]

That's very good news Jabba! No more late night run to and from the office just to upload videos. Now we just have to start stocking up HD and DVDRs before they run out of stock ;)

[Jabba]

Yep sadly just as TG finished though :?

[possessed_beaver]

Indeed..luckily I wasnt wearing my Jabba Ninja suit....(pictures on another thread)


what about jabba storm trooper?

.. u know what im talking about ;)

[Jabba]

Did I really send you those pictures ?

[possessed_beaver]

Did I really send you those pictures ?

lol yeh, and the other ones u took aswell..

[Jabba]

Maybe best to delete them....LOL...

[coombsie66]

Good to see your ADSL worked out in the end! Pitty about the floor nitemare, that nitro moors shit is lethal!!!!! I used that to strip the paint off me windows, became quite high in the process, even using it in 'a well ventilated area'!! It also strips skin as effectively as paint!
Hope the finish is alright now, we used a stain rather than varnish on our floors, seem to be holding up fine after a year or more's abuse!

[SFDMALEX]

Congratulations Jabba. I know exactly how you feel.


On the other hand, Im pretty sure you'll miss those night trips to the office :wink: :)

[ferrari550]

Glad to see you back more often, looking forward to the next few days. I must say that your floors are looking nice!!
And your wireless laptop is cool, i would love to have one to go outside and browse JW, great stuff.

[GT-R_R34]

i'm glad you got ADSL, so you don't have to do those runs at midnight. well since your going to be uploading more videos i won't be able to sleep any more.

[Erez]

:) i just moved and was with out internet for 3 days.. and yesterday i finally got my ADSL.. and the damn ISP have fucked me over.. i'm on a 2MB ADSL.. and now i have 0.75 cause of some error they have and this is SO slow!!! and i am paying for 2MB and this sucks! they should have fixed it in a min! but the MFs take forever!!! and damn the 0.7 is slow nect to the 2MB!!

[TT]

I hope gis and the other dialup users won't read this comment about how slow a 700 kbit dsl is :D

[PATo355]

Amazing Jabba , at last you have ADSL at your home , and the notebook buying is kinda a bargain for such a fast computer even equiped with DVDRW , im sure that the price is even impressing compared to the american prices

[blah]

give us a virtual tour alredy damnit. Also how is the lambo sleeping at its new house, did the change effect its sleeping patterns?

[crazidude]

Lol a virtual tour is a nice idea. I can't possibly imagine what the police were thinking when they see someone holding a disk and trying to get into the office.

[blah]

That Fat Bastard is trying to eat the office perhaps?

[jon_s]

I hope gis and the other dialup users won't read this comment about how slow a 700 kbit dsl is :D


Schhhhhhhh that is what I am getting upgraded to!! I am on 600 at the moment! :?

[Jabba]

Yes that sounds like a nice idea I will see what I can do. Jabbacam will also be going online soon where you will have access to 9 CCTV cameras inc 4 infrared ones (they see in complete darkness) one of which is in the garage.

[Zonda11]

I hope gis and the other dialup users won't read this comment about how slow a 700 kbit dsl is :D LOL ....I get a MB every 4.3 seconds from DL off JW and I still wish my connection was faster!!!! :D :D :D :D

Great...some private security guards...and with the time zone difference...you would be kinda watching everything while I am sleeping. Imagine you see an intruder and could notify the police before I even realise what is going on....LOL

i rember i use to watch you're cam on you're old house.

but i never saw you leave or go, i spose i would have to catch a 5min gap when you are leaving.

i would see you're lambo and ferrari in the "car coons" thoe.

[nthfinity]

is this for real? its an interesting concept lol

congrats on getting high speed at home... ive been extremely grateful for the many times ive d/l shortly after available way across the pond!

in regards to 56mb wireless... ive successfully surfed the web from about 500 yards away from a neighbors 56mb connection (in a car that was stopped) depending on what frequency your router runs at, it could have some major distances available (lower freq = further access)

Fuck the police.. this would be no matter for the police, anyone who takes a step on the Jabbaworld Land (i know kinda weird) Has to deal with the Jabba Ninjas! Must i post a pic of their last mission.

[Jabba]

Yeh....I should put a picture and sign on the outside gate "WARNING: protected by Jabba Ninjas"
