With having the same problems everyone else is having with nildram, i have a few that i am tempted with ukfsn and aquis, now am tempted to go on a office max product with the higher upload.

I was wondering though will the extra upload have any effect into what my line will take download or sync speeds.

Found a stats for my line whats the best i can expect

Pipex have taken over and they doing everything to spoil it basically traffic shaping etc its gone right down the pan now.
 
So Nildram = Pipex now? totally? never knew that :P saying that i've been getting random discconects every night for the past 2 weeks always about 8pm for hours on end. I dont really have any mind to switch isp as Nildram have been MINT the past 6+ years but if they totally fubar up because of Pipex then maybe Sky has my custom

Yup Pipex have bought Nildram out and from what i have read every other isp they have aquired has gone down the the crapper so to speak.
 
You'd get (significantly) more than you've got - whether you'd get the full upload rate, you'd really have to try it and see.
UKFSN and Aquiss are (to a point) the same thing - they both have Enta controlling the important bits.
 
hmm intresting , well i have never had any trouble with my download rate always 600kbps / 700kbps on fileplanet ill see what happends. And maybe change if it gets REALLY bad any link to this ukfsn?
 
There is quite a lot of difference with the quota for ukfsn compared to Nildram since my quota gets carried over from months to months; atm quoted 383 GIG which ive never used max was 13.5 Gig this month used 6.4 gigs. And pay £25 so cant really see any benefit moving as of yet :/ the only isp I can see me moving to is Sky as id only be paying £10 a month for the same line 8mb.
 
what tarrif you on on nildram am on there 8 meg one and my quota don't carry over month after month ?

I was wondering what ukfsn ping like for online gaming will have to do some research.
