Cheap UK Broadband For SysXtreme Members

[Octomon]

I would recommend highly:

US Robotics SCAN: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=119120

Belkin @ SCAN: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=91316

I use the belkin and r_jast uses the USR.

Both are very reliable, easy to use and work fine out of the box

Thanks.

I was looking at Scan right now. They have a "no brainer of the week" on the TRENDnet’s TEW-435BRM. It's so cheap at £25 it makes me think it'll be a bit crap.

Generally yes it most likely will be

XMS (fancy titled: Network manager ): told me that either USR or Belkin are great choices. So far I have to agree

Yeah u cant go wrong with either USR, Belkin or Thompson. They all make top quality products.

IDNet actually sell the Thompson routers on their site so it might be worth giving them a look.

Other than that, Netgear are a reasonable brand (i believe they have some kind of link with Cisco).

Right well 30mins into today i decided i had to try my IDnet log in details and woo did they work !!!

now that i was on IDnet i thought right best try some CS - so i logged on to the hexus server were my ping was about 25-30 - no real supprise with Jolt.co.uk - i then went over to the SX CS server were i got a ping of 15ms

Excelent mate

We'll be putting in a better server shorly that should drop the ping times a little more (current server has a bit of a naff net card in it), and also running a couple more games, so you won't be restricted to playing CSS on the SX server

Nice ! what other games you gunna run on it then?

you better do UT2k7 next year!!

still loving the low pings

 

[FarFarAway]

I expect we'll be getting COD2, perhaps BF-2 and CSS.

And as for UT2K7: YEAH BABY!!!! :ar: :worship:

 

[Octomon]

I'd like to get people together to play BF2. I know we don't have enough to play any matches. But it might be fun to get voice comms and jump on pubbie servers to blow shit up.

 

[JN]

Yeah the plans are a bit hazy at the moment. There will deffo be 2 Public CSS servers playing only popular maps (de_dusts/de_nuke?), and a CSS match server.

We will also be having a COD2 server, possibly a Quake 4 server and that will leave us with 1 space for another game (maybe UT2k7 or something totally different like footy game??)

Three more posts and you'll have the PM system enabled for you

I still can't view profiles or send PMs. How many posts do I need? I can't find it in the FAQ.

Its 50 posts in order to be a 'Verified Member' which gives you access to PM's and Profiles.

You're not far away now

I'll look into reducing this number as we probably don't need it so high anymore

Wow - 2mb connection for £14.99 a month. That'd be very handy for when we move into our new house next month.

Cheers,
