Juswundrin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 HiWe use, and can recommend,http://www.telerabais.com/index2.phpNo contracts, no prepayment, dead simple. Cost to the UK is the cost of a local call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Wilson Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Skype through your computer is great, it costs a fraction of a landline call (just put skype in your search engine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyn_Paul Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If you have ADSL, a Freebox from Free telecom gives you free international calls to a whole bunch of countries via a socket on the box erm... free !Also good and cheap is Onetelpwww.onetel.fr www.free.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm interested in the €29.99 deal from free.fr, but I suspect as I can only get 2mb where I am that will restrict some of the services I can use. Does the TV bit work on such a slow speed or do you need the adsl2+ at full 28mb?Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem to stop FT from ringing me up at every bar's end to offer me TV services via the internet.You really would think that they, of all people, would know what speed their potential clients would have available. At 622 I imagine the picture quality would be just about comparable with Baird's 30-line mechanical system from 1926!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 How do you get such accurate measurements of signal strength?When I hover over my Wireless Network Connection icon I see ever changing speeds ranging from 6 Mbps to 48 Mbps. I'm almost 2 kms from the exchange.Non technical answers on a postcard pleaseBenjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 This site will give you a reading on max. debit for uploads and downloads on your line. Your wi-fi modem, among other things, may affect the actual debits, hence the fluctuations at a given instant.DegroupTest.comNote this site is mainly concerned with assessing your eligibility for degroupage, the debit speed measurement is a side benefit.If you want to see all the offers available to you, this site is better but does not measure your line speed:ADSL eligibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
