Re: Is it worth changing to ADSL Max

Hi

We have a site that currently has a BT fixed speed (512k) service that
performs well.

We need to change to a fixed IP and I'm wondering if it's worth changing to
ADSL Max at the same time?

Samknows predicts that the best speed we can expect is 512k as we are 3.77km
from the exchange, but in reality perhaps we could get someting better, or
could it be worse with Max?


Mmm. I was on a fixed 512 service, and my router says I am 'about 9k feet' in loop distance, so thats about a mile give or take, or 1.6km..you are twice that and more....Hmm.

I suspect you PROBABLY could get around about 1Mbps. I get 3.5Mbps-4Mbps.



For the moment I am leaning to staying with the status quo because it all
works OK and just paying BT for a fixed IP address.

Look forward to seeing your comments!


What you might want to consider is that upload speeds will improve: if you are running a server on that fixed IP address, thats a useful thing to have.
