Good for you! How "fat" a pipe are you getting? I'm getting along quite nicely on a measly 256K DSL line. Enough for staying connected to Wipeoutzone,anyway :D

[Hybrid Divide]

My roommate and I will be sharing a 640k line.

I can't wait! I hate having to go to my school's computer lab just to check my email!

I've got 56k!

This site sometimes loads as if it were broadband.

Or is it my imagination?

:lol:

Any ways, Foxy's doing a great job for us low end users!

Keep up the great work.

the maximum download rate through a 56k modem that ive seen for this site is 12kBps, which equalled the rate for slashdot.org. if it weren't for compatibility problems that Rob mentioned a while back, gZip would make things even quicker by reducing the total download size, but... the problem is there, so..

you have broadband!

you are very lucky arnt you :)

Appreciation society!?

Cool! :)

It is a shame about the compression not working for certain people (*cough* James! *cough* - putting the Amish in Amishrobot!) - I was well pleased with the results while it was on.

Which reminds me - need to check the logs tonight to see how we're doing bandwidth wise :)

[Hybrid Divide]

I WILL be getting Broadband soon. But the smegging modem is about a week late! It's driving me nutzo!

(I used to be on 56k, so I know how it is! :D )

good for you! :) getting xDSL/cable is always a mess.. I had to wait 9months for mine, a guy in the same building ordered the same ADSL service, he got it after two weeks, and 3months before me.. so, we had to call and complain, they´ll notice you as an "annoying customer" and ultimatly, youll get your service up and running faster ;)

If you are a UK resident with BT phone connection, phone the helpline and ask if you can have the gain turned up on your line. It might mean that the phone conversation will sound a little tinny, but the modem speeds up quite rapidly!

(just a little trick-of-the-trade)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Uh... we called BT quite a while ago about getting extra gain on the line, and it took them a year! :lol: Still, we're getting ADSL too. We've got the modem so now all BT have to do is initialise the DSL line. Oh well, 'spose I can look forward to next year then...

Hey infox! I've been meaning to tell you, but I don't think it's the GZip that was messing me up. I've been doing some other random testing on my own, and while I haven't been able to figure out the problem, (nothing's consistent between browsers or sites with similar features) I'm pretty sure it's not the compression. I think it might be the cookies, but again, nothing's consistent.

Besides, I've been doing most of my browsing in Windows, as I'm having serious font display problems in Linux that I haven't been able to pin down yet.

So go ahead and turn it back on. Don't let one lame guy ruin it for everyone!

I need to send you an email. I'm such an ass...

[infoxicated]

Cool, Jimbo - don't be too hard on yourself... for me it was the only thing that had recently changed and it was the only thing I could think of that might solve the problem for you.

I'll turn the compression back on now... oh, and our bandwidth has settled down to less than a Gb now (I suspect that was aided by the few weeks the compression was on), which is a huge relief! :)
