Iowa, Cedar Falls Utilities works

I think all that's about to change my friend, having mad drama with BellSouth, especially in the past week...we may have to become dual citizens, move abroad a bit, I could use the rest!

I use Talktalk in the Uk and at first when I subscribed it all worked fine, but for the last couple of months I cannot connect.
My friend who lives next door to me is using the same isp with the same speed and he has no problems at all. I tried every avenue you can imagine to see if I could rectify this connection problem but could not resolve it. Eventually my friend put his user name and password into my connection and it worked fine again, so it would seem that they can target individual computers. When I rang them to find out why I could not connect with my user name and password but could using my friends on the very same computer they just pleaded ignorant and gave me a technical helpline number charged at fifty pence a min. Surely this is breaking the agreement of a contract to supply you with a fully operational internet connection?

I am also on talk talk and have the same problem i have used limewire before then switched to bearshare now im back with limewire and have changed my firewall settings, it will return searches and show it is connected (varies graetly in strenght, the icon at the bottom indicates). i have also noticed that when using bearshare at early hours of the morning it seems to work loads better i dnt know if this is due to hosts from other countrys coming online or if its somthing to do with talk talk limiting me during the day?? any1 got any ideas?

Cablevision does not work dude. I'm located in the Bronx, NY area and Cablevision is trying to pull a fast one on us dude, I say boycott. Call there office number 1-718-617-3500. Us computer guys and gals need to stand up to these money hungry companys i say Verzion is the way to go and there cheaper .......Stand up for your Rights.............

I'm using TimeWarner cable for my connection. I can share files both ways, but all of a sudden my firewall won't go down. Traffic has slowed considerably.

Verizon DSL in Brooklyn,NY DOES work

Same with me.

Telstra BigPond in Oz do not block but do say they have Unlimited downloads which really means that once you have reached your plans quota you get shaped to 64kpb/s...
