hi bob Yeah please dont get me started about talktalk, it is the UK one and is possibly the worst ISP out there, just moved in with my partner and she already had talktalk installed, going from a super fast cable line to them is like going back to the dark ages might as well use old dial up but im changing them and getting shut - ah bring back my nice static ip line :-)
anyways im sure its the isp that was at the route of my problem, just in writting this ive been disconnected 3 times On 19/04/07, Bob Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I am unsure of the exact details, but there are lots of disgruntled users around with stories about this ISP forcing all port 80 traffic via the Talktalk proxy server and also applying shaping and throttling.
