| 445031 | 2006-04-11 10:45:00 | Or you can try slingshot, not too sure about their service qualities, but their plans are good on paper for data usage.... $40+$25 (buying extra data) = 2Mbps/128, and 5Gb+30gb making 35gb... |

| 445032 | 2006-04-18 04:40:00 | using quicksilver now 3.5..but more like 2mbps from speed test sites router does give downstream speed of 3.5mbps.. but not achievable obviously their help desk..wasn' that easily reachable in the morning but in early afternoon..didn't have to wait long feels okay for now obviously feels faster compared to 256kbps..but wonder how long that'll last..um.. |

| 445033 | 2006-04-19 11:34:00 | um..just to help some people deciding..this might help.. quicksilver blocks your ports so can't have servers and stuff and i guess those who use bt might have some problem since people can't connect to you also mean can't get into your comp remotely..no more vnc..um.. but because of this.. makes it some what more secure for the users now running sheild up tests..all ports blocked |

| 445034 | 2006-04-19 12:05:00 | um..just to help some people deciding..this might help.. quicksilver blocks your ports They only did this just recently. So change the ports used for BT and you should be fine |

I guess $54.95 for 30GB of 3.5M/128k connection still make up for it.. so I can't complain too much :) |

| 445038 | 2006-04-19 21:23:00 | not sure if changing ports will work for bt they seem to block pretty much everything ..or that's what the shield up test is telling me before with orcon, if i open my ports on my router then the test will show it's open now it's just all closed and secured well..if anyone finds a way to get around it remember to share it loh.. bt still faster to get those big files compared to http imo.. oh..forgot this..port 80 seem to be open so..yea dunno if that does anything maybe u can host a site?? maybe not.. havn't tried or use your bt through it i guess ..now..my kubuntu blocks ports 1-1024.. how do i get rid of that.. |

| 445039 | 2006-04-20 01:56:00 | I wonder if you can still use a FTP client :p Yes, Filezilla works so FTP is A-OK. My guess is that they're only blocking common "file sharing" ports. |
