@raphjd:

If you live in a Vodafone GigaFast (fully fibre into your house) area, then got for that.   You'll know if you live in one of the areas as they will have ripped up your sidewalks sometime in the last year.

It's a PITA to get installed, but once installed, it's great.

SKY is good, but very expensive compared to everyone else.

Vodafone's normal broadband is good as well, and much much cheaper than SKY.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Would love to have fast broadband, but unfortunately, fibre isn't available where I live.

Tried many times to find out if vodafone services are available in my area, but I keep getting an error message whenever I type in my postcode on the their website.

Since only normal broadband is available to me, I've decided to go with Plusnet – they seem to have good reviews, and I got a good deal with them. Anyway, they can't be any worse than Talk Talk.

Hi,

Who is your ISP? Are you happy with them, and would you recommend them?

I'm currently with TalkTalk – I've been torrenting without a VPN for 8 months. They do slow my connection when I'm downloading/uploading sometimes, but have yet to get any warnings from them. Overall, I'm not happy with TalkTalk -- their customer service (in South Africa) is terrible, so I would like to migrate to another Provider. But, there are so many to choose from -- any help/recommendations with this would be appreciated.

Thank you 

I'm trying to create a new torrent with utorrent – the file has four video clips and four accompanying folders of pictures. For some reason when creating the torrent file, utorrent hangs about halfway through the process -- it won't give an error message, the green progress bar just stalls and won't finish. Anybody else ever had this problem, or know of a solution? It took me a lot of effort to put these files together, and I'm quite frustrated that utorrent won't create it, so that I can upload it to the site.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,

I'm having a terrible time trying to get a good ratio. I only have one day to achieve the targeted limit, otherwise I will have my download privileges taken away. Even though I have 18 files that are showing "seeding" I'm hardly getting any uploads from me. I think my problem is to do with port forwarding. I've been following various tutorials on how to set up a static IP, but when I go to change the adapter settings in Control Panel, the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPV4) Properties look nothing like the ones in the tutorials. All the boxes are blank, so if I make a mistake and my internet ends up not working, I can't go back to reset the properties back to the way they were – so, I'm too afraid to change them. Can anyone help me with this please?

I don't mind donating money, but only if I can pay with Paypal -- I don't want to use my credit card.
