- Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
not as far as I know.
Bunch of choads for it they are too. It was the only thing that kept me tied to ADSL, that I could have a block of static IP's for not much money.
Awaiting virgin install, and not looking forward to having to use DYNDNS again
It's just a good job that the latest Cisco IOS for my 2651Xm allows the use of FQDN as a VPN end point rather than IP.
I had the VM 50mb package for a while, its full of crap. throughout the entire time i never once received the 50mb it stated i would get. it varied from 9-28mb. midnight etc i would get 20+, during day i would get around 10mb. fibre optic BS if you ask me.
its a lottery ticket imho, if you happen to be in the right area then bingo you'll get full speed.
i'm with O2 now and i get a solid 20mb line constantly, its a shame the modem they give is not as good as the line connection.

Whilst they are dynamic they are based on your MAC address so it's sticky provided you don't swap your router.
