Unite internet

Hi Im staying in exchnage works and bought the cheap package, just thought I wpuld tell every one that I wouldnt bother with the more expensive unless you want to download loads. The connection is fine plus you get all the things that they say you cant get e.g web cam

Thats well cheap 3.99 for 256 or 5.99 a week for 2 mb contract for whole time e.g 44 weeks so mine is about 200 quid.

Yep you can download.

Gamers and anyone who downloads stuff via torrent etc are best off on super, as the lite package blocks a load of ports. Of course you can tunnel around it if you have a little bit of knowledge or a friend on computer science 8) but that incurs a whole load of other problems.

Not for free you can't.

They'll block most ports apart from the ones that will be needed, ie for web browsing and email.

At Hallam, by the way, computing is not a science its just computing is very different to other unis in teaching and material too, much better than the other unis.

If you wanted to download the 256 wouldn't get you much at all anyway if it was unrestricted.

The lite is actually 512 iirc, super is 2mbit, even if it was 256 if you leave it always on over time you could download a ****load, I managed a lot back in the days where anytime dialup was standard, using download clients that reconnect when the connection drops.

I was referring to computing in a general sense of the word, the fact is at Hallam there is indeed a course entitled Computer Science, regardless of the content a student of a course like this or one similar to it is likely to be able to help someone wishing to bypass blocked ports or other traffic shaping measures.

On the contrary to what you state, you can in fact circumvent these things for free if you know how, I'll give you a hint: tunneling... This in fact relies on the fact that they leave ports such as 80 (web browsing) open for any level of user.

There is no need to take a patronising tone as I am in fact on a computer course at Hallam anyway.

I'm now on just over 2Mb download. I had a couple of days on 13Mbit but since more people have been signing up it's got slower, either that or they have sorted their routers out. It was fun whilst it lasted though

I'm trying to find a way to unblock the ports used for E-mule. (4662 TCP and 4672 UDP).

Have fun trying. HaHa!

the only reason i got the most expensive one was because i was told you cant use a web cam on the cheap package . Thats all i use the internet for really.

Can you switch to the cheaped package?

webcam never worked on mine it doesnt work on any of my flatmates either so we all had to upgrade to the ridiculously expensive one, now it works fine on them all. maybe it just didnt like the look of us lot lol
