and yes 8mb will be faster on both hard wired and wireless for loading web pages and downloads but it wont be 8mb and it wont help streaming media much |

http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=628273 It works most times...when it doesn't (too much buffering) I use my VPN account as you get faster download speed here in Dubai. PS While you can watch live UK TV...it is 4 hours behind ! |

Re: Upgrading Internet Speed
What are you using to watch the live tv? I am using Slingbox and the only thing I did was upgrade the service in the UK.. It is sometimes not the d\l speed, but the u\l speed from the UK that is the issue....

Re: Upgrading Internet Speed
Ive tried various different live tv sites including bbc and itv live but was considering subscribing to sky on-line but no point doing that if I can't stop it buffering so was just looking for a solution

Does anyone know if we upgrade internet from 1mb to 8mb will this also upgrade the speed on my laptop. Currently wireless with linksys 200g. If not is it possible to hardwire it?
My theory is that the Etisalat proxy chokes everything making connections of more than 1MB or 2MB pretty much a waste of time. |

You can also use a UK VPN to avoid that problem.
