Good Points

When playing online games like XBOX 360 there's hardly any lag at all but that depends on the games servers your currently playing. I have had no connection drops well about 15 over 2007 thats all which is not bad but most of the time it was karoo doing maintenace work.

Bad Points

8meg are you sure thats not a miss type on Karoo's webpage and it should be saying 300k like the old days of 56k and 512k. On my PC when downloading a file of like 100mb it's give me 360kbps then it will continuly drop to about owwww 240kbps it depends.

Over 2007 it cut off maybe 15 times my router which is a Linksys and I will not buy there crappy ZedNex or whatever it's called shows a red light when it can't dial out. Thats my warning sign saying you aint getting nothing today son ha ha ha.

General Comments

The fact is people of Hull don't get no choice of who they want to use it's Karoo or nothing you cant choose Virgin, BT or NTL for that matter. And they said last year in the paper they welcome all competition what a load of rubbish I have read letters from friends who have tried to get BT and they state they don't provide due to the local telephone company not allowing competion in short words.

I got told also that it's not 8meg as in megabites but it's megabits 8kb to a megabite. And there servers are not even based in hull there out of hull completly and your phone line goes to KC then to the place where the servers are kept then back to KC then to your house. The rule is: 8 bits = 1 byte. Therefore a 4 Mibit cartridge had a capacity of 512 KiB, an 8 Mibit cartridge held 1 MiB of data, and so on.
