I was on Tiscali, but am now on AOL, was transferred today

I have done the bandwidth test on ADSLGuide, and get low results, (around 11pm i did this)

Was on 2mb, but now am on 8 ...

my DG834G says i have a 6400kbs down speed, however, only get around 768k - 2mb on the bandwidth tests (tried a few different ones)

Any ideas ?

It's perfectly normal and will change over the next ten days, try searching the forum for 'BRAS profile', '10 day training period' etc.

Welcome to AOHell. Who will likely cut you off over christmas because someone cancelled our service. It wasn't us, it wasn't them and it wasn't BT.. Uhm..

Other than that, everything is spiffy until you need to ring them up. You may get lucky and get a sexy Irish woman, who I got when I wanted to downgrade from Plat to Gold.

Enjoy the no limit-ness.

Incidently, did you grab a free router from them? I got a Speedtouch, tried using both my old Netgear DG834G's and neither now work.

I got a free DG834G, just did the auto setup and typed my user/pass

- worked

I had a mate who got cut off AOL by someone too lol ... about July time i think it was
