Tower 126, definately looking better

[mrbob]

Well dare I say it but things are definately looking like they're starting to improve. My downloads speeds are no longer stuck at 1Kb/s , I'm peaking at about 9 and over the long run seem to be averaging between 6 and 8, still not 128k but we're getting there !

Speed tests used to show me an average of about 30kb/s .. now check this out yo

Anyways let's hope this is a good sign of things to come, I'd really love to see this forum turn into an appraisal for Sentech, as much as ppl may struggle to believe this we'd much rather use and compliment a good product then moan about a ****ty one.

Come on Sentech, you can do it , bite his fukkin head off ! Hola !

If I can get these results, nobody should settle for less ... I mean more ... you know what I mean, in latency, big is worse than little.
