Free 128k ISP?

AMDX23800+ · 19 Oct 2006 at 21:30

Hi,
Does anyone know of a decent ISP that supplies free 128k dual channel isdn connectivity at 1p per minute?
I have tried around 10 different isps from google but they either disconnect me or they connect but sites dont load etc.
Thanks
AMD

UK2 work, used it a few months ago when my aDSL was down. www.uk2.net

Can't get a successful 128k connection with that isp either :confused:

I tried '12free uk isp' and both channels connnected fine but websites didn't work.
TeamSpeak worked fine but websites wouldnt load :confused:

I wouldn't mind paying around £30 a month for a 128k isp but the only one i have found limits you to 160hours

How about Vispa?

I used to use them when i was on the dial-up days.

Rather good too.

I have just tried Vispa and i get the same problem, both channels connect but i cannot access http pages etc :confused:

This modem works fine on Virgin's 64k unlimited :confused:

As all the ISP's that have been posted seem to be problematic for you are you sure it's not something other than the ISP's ?

I have to admit after you have tried all of those ISPs I suspect the problem isnt with the ISPs but your own equipment. Do you have home highway? If you do then try using the USB TA built into the box on the wall.

AMDX23800+ · 22 Oct 2006 at 15:50

Yes i have home highway, i have used 128k before from uku.co.uk with this exact modem and 64k works fine :confused:

I will try the USB modem and get back to you

Also, when i use the LAN modem i get like a lowest ping of about 50, but on the USB modem the lowest ping i can get is like 96, is there anyway to fix this?
Cheers

I don't think my modem like 0845 numbers lol

how come you cant just get adsl?

AMDX23800+ · 22 Oct 2006 at 21:17

Don't even ask!

We have tried several times to get ADSL but apparently our lines just cannot support ADSL although we only live 4miles from exchange

IIRC you need to enable something or other in IE connection settings. Sorry I can't be more specific but it has been a long time since I was on ISDN

AMDX23800+ · 22 Oct 2006 at 22:08

Just tried 128k on the USB highway modem and it seemed to work fine although i was getting an average of 143ms to UK game servers

I had the DNS servers set to Virgin's in the wireless network settings.

I think Vispa knew what my problem was

I sent them an email explaining the problem and here's what i got

Hi

It might be worth hardsetting your DNS ip's into the connection.

The DNS servers are
62.24.228.9
62.24.228.10
