Line Speed

simple solution.... change setting to delete from mail server after x days...

 

[Bruspark]

I advise setting a long or permanent keep on server with POP3 mail as it is increasingly common to watch accounts on phones, pads, laptops etc and need to see and find messages on any and all. Outlook in particularly was very bad at setting up with a default to delete after downloading and removing n years of message history from the server in a flash. Then delivering messages to a random one device in 4 thereafter Always easier to refine this once the messages are safe .

And new year wishes to all !!

Sorry guys ,  you lost me with the last few posts .

deke we are testing the speed of the routers and i think folks have put theirs up basically to get an idea of the speeds in the areas of the country,

To make it easier to compare, here are badgers before and after shorter cable results.

(I also note the servers have changed)

the ping is the time taken for a data packet to be sent from the computer your testing to the server and back again.

Ah   Thanks Badge.

What is the PING thing ?

packet internet groper. (Yes...really)

Think submarine sonar...... sends a ping out and measures the time taken for the echo to return. Same principle..

so its nothing to do with ping pong then?

Guys what tester are you using from apple products? Can't get ookla too work, flash and all that? Just used a different one and got 0.67 download?

 

[kerching]

Deke, look upon it as new technology. A bit like those new fangled Drummond testers and those megger things with the windy handle. It will never catch on, mark my words. Soon they will be proposing that we adhere to some form of standard, then they will want training and..

Can't post my speedtest results as I'm not at home but I currently get around 55 Meg download and 18 meg upload from Plusnet. Can't fault them for speeds at all. And they're pretty cheap compared to a lot of companies out there.
