Re: Your INTERNET SPEED ?
The distance from the repeater makes so much difference in that speed drops as current drops over long distances, especially as (except for those using the rural radio system) the systems are predominately copper rather than fibre. But with all the competition it makes me wonder it there is something underlying all this?
Because Telefonica is the national carrier responsible for the backbone infrastructure are selling capacity to those competitors is the price\speed dependent on the amount of money they have?
Is the actual speed there except in the larger conurbations and then for companies that have to pay €megabucks ??
Do the fibres actually leave the larger conurbations or is it only copper?
How far has Telefonica got with installing fibres??
This sounds like the problems we have had with BT in the UK who have spent more on stopping others riding on their backbone than accepting they have a national responsibility and the original systems were laid down when a public utility.

Things are better down on the coast but for those of us inland Telefonica rule and there is no competition.
This year they are laying fibre optic cables in our nearest town some 7kl away, I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for them to do the same here as not enough people are connected to make it worth their while.

I guess the answer to that is .... not very far!

Perhaps the "plan" is to install on the basis of "who shouts loudest" or something. Even in the UK there are people out "in the wilds" who don't have a telephone line or have v e r y s l o w broadband. I can see another EU grant coming in here . . . . .

Well going off the speeds that Mitzyboy and myself are getting for our 40€ a month... I would say it's more like they are using smoke signals.

Just in case you thought you were on your own with this problem and all was rosy in the UK try http://www.xlntelecom.co.uk/business...oadband-grant/
It looks like even the UK's technology corridor is having problems

Avg Download 50.74 mb/s

Live in the camp with no fixed telephone line so use Movistar dongle. Pay about 14 euros a month.

As a matter of interest, if you just do a ping on your command prompt, and you have internet but get 'request timed out' what does that mean????

would suggest you put the wrong destination into the ping command or the detination is not connected

You would think that PING www.microsoft.com should work but it don't!
