what i meant was that you could have a ridiculously fast internet connection but it's not much use if your pc can't process all the info that's coming flooding through your connection, or something like that :blush:

ah feck it, i don't know what the bollox i'm talking about

Its alright wool, i know what yer saying. No point having say a 5 mg connection if your pc is something :censored:

I dont have that, think mine is 5 ghz or something

There are at least two ISP in Britain that offer an 8MB connection at a competitice rate. They were mentioned in PC Zone this month and when I get home from work I'll have a gander at the magazine and post their names.

I also heard that BT will roll out an 8MB connection next April/May. This is rumoured to be a replacement of the 2MB package, whether existing customers will be upgraded for free, I just don't know.

As a general rule of thumb the cable packages are more competitive than the phonelines, so do some research on cable ISPs.

Thanks JBG.

Might just be lazy and get NTL I reckon

I take back what i said about Bt, they ARE a walking disaster. They Buttered me up bigtime yesterday over the download limit and hit me with another hundred sheets on top of my bill. They told me they would email me first if i exceeded the limit then ,the following month said theyd cut my speed if i exceeded-they did neither arghh bastidzzz

56k = 56,000 bit per second connection speed

basic broadband is 512K ie. 512,000 bits per second, roughly ten times quicker

1 meg = 1,000,000 bits per second ie. twice as fast as basic

therefore 2 meg is 40 times as quick as 56k although how good your processor is on your PC obviously has some say in the matter

So what would be the ideal speed for me to do my dj mixes over the internet live? Thanks again wool, u are a fountain of knowledge! haha

A budding DJ Wrighty. What music do you play?
I used to DJ years ago before it got too commersialised. Now i just make music instead.
Send us the link to ur web site mate.
Cheers

Try play.com or Gameloaded both are pretty good and much cheaper than any computer shop
