  Griffin is a broadband supplier who specialise in the business end of the 
market, their prices are higher than the average broadband provider, but their 
quality is second to none. They have contention ratio's of 5:1 on their 
residential lines and 2.5:1 on their business lines. This means that when 
compared to say BT at 50:1 on a residential service I can have a 1Mb service 
from Griffin which would be faster than a 1Mb service from BT, as my 1Mb is 
only being shared with 4 others on Griffin, yet 49 others with BT.

  A massive difference.

    Saqib,

    Suggestive again, where you are 3 may be using the full HSUDA which at 
present is 7.2 duelplex meaning both ways, up and down, also if you were the 
only person, or one of few using it at the time then you will have had very 
nice results from it.

    Then again, BT are by no means the best ISP available, there user ratios 
are high and although you may have a high connection speed don't forget this is 
purely between you and the exchange, what happens after that is BT's business.

    I'd be swilling to bet that you can get higher performance out of certain 
3G carriers in certain locations and at certain low usage periods in the day.

    But put your network 3 up against a quality ISP like say Griffin and you'd 
not be saying what you're saying.

    Hi Neil. When I download a podcast by using my provider Three. I get much 
faster downloads than I would get with my BT Hub.

      Hi Paul,

       

      Wow, T-mobile are much better.  For 7 pounds a month, you get up to 40GB.

       

      All the best

      If you have Vodafone's unlimited Internet package I think it is currently 
500mb a month, it may be 800mb but quite a bit for most people.  You might use 
it all if you download podcasts and stuff like that.

       

      I think they charge you a £1 per day once you have exceeded your limit.  
So, they say it is unlimited but it isn't really.

       

      Anyway, unless you have 3g or 3.5g service in your area, you would be 
better using wireless as it is faster in most cases.

       

      Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

      Neil

      I think the best thing is to wait until the person who set it up for me 
is available again.  He cannot understand me wanting to access my e-mails 
through my phone and that does not help.  Yet he is a PC software buff and that 
is his job.  I can use my Vodafone contract at present I am just afraid I will 
end up with a big bill but I have checked with them again and they say it is 
unlimited internet access.  What worries me is that my nephew had a contract 
with them and he maintained they were charging him more every month and that he 
had not used up all his allowances but then maybe that was just him.  

       

      Yes I have a security set up in my home one.  I must just find the bit of 
paper and then I'll be fine.  I think it is usually a very large number like 25 
letters and numbers or maybe it is smaller like 10, I am not sure.

        Eleanor,

         

        Without the other information you'll not be able to set it up, when you 
connect your PC or laptop to the wireless hub are you asked for a security key? 
do you know what this is? how many characters long is it?

         

        This might help me guess which protocol it uses, do you have any 
information from BT about how to connect to it, did they tell you anything?
