Well a friend of mine that has cablenet had some problems before, At first when they came and did the installation it was fine, he was getting good speeds. Then, after 3 or 4 months his speeds where awful as low as 10-15Kbps, and his constant calls to cablenet were ignored until he moved 2 months later. And as i was reading in the forums a couple of other guys had some problems.

But anyway up to now i haven't had any major problems and i hope it stays that way.

Oh and as i recall there was a day that the internet was abit down and the channels had no signal, i dont remember if it was Friday though.

It's ok now, im getting an average speed of 400-450Kbps on torrents if there's good seeders. I signed up at tehparadox.com and it looks good(I've already d/l a couple of games  ) but still i haven't got a premium account on RS or MU so some links d/l with 30-40Kbps. I tried Jdownloader but i think il stick to free-rapid it's much easier and updates frequently. Anw, thanks for your advise Efrem.

Oh and P.S The modem that they gave me was blocking all the ports, I had to manually forward them. Yes, cablenet has their ports open(unlike primetel where you had to change your ip to 2.10  ), but the modem didn't forward them.

Ok, Where shall i start?

Finally 28 days later( like the movie) they came and done the installation. Surprisingly, it went quite easy.

All looks good.

1) 6.6Mbits on speedtest.net
2) A download average of 800Kbps  give or take 10-15Kbps.
3) The TV channels are looking good up to now.
4) Upload rate at around 100Kbps.
 
The only thing that's troubling me is on torrents. I cant get good speeds(max at around 100). I've accessed the modem and opened the port for utorrent and utorrent says that the port is being forwarded OK but still doesn't pump the way it should.

Anyway il figure it out.

Efrem did you do anything else to make your torrents work as they should?

Thanks.

Im still waiting, I went on the 25th and singed up. They told me at most 20 working days so that's a month :| . We'll just have to wait and see. I'll keep you posted.

Hmmm, ok then i will give it a shot. I will go for the 6Mbit & digital channels because it's only 49euro against the 59 i pay only for 2Mbits at PT. This could take some time though, How long?  A month i guess. ANW, i'll keep this thread posted as to what happens on the way till the installation. Lets hope the come quick but i doubt they will. 

Thanks efrem
