[Klug-general] [OT]Best ISP for connection with BeThere?

[nic dan]

Hi Simon
Excuse my ignorance, but it sounds like something else going on
AFAIK, there should be no difference between which ISP connects to a BE account provided line
Again, AFAIK, there's nothing in any protocols that identifies the provider
Wouldn't something like a vpn or ftp hookup suffice?
Since you know about uplink limiting, you can expect different directional flow SPEED, but reliability of connection, should be the same both ways
Are you sure it's not a dns issue, perhaps try open dns & see if it makes a difference

If anyone else can see a flaw in this, don't shoot me :)

Sorry to break the thread, couldn't figure out how to maintain it from my digest.

Even a dullard like me can figure out that it's uplink limited ! (ADSL).

O2 are also unable to provide service at the exchange in question.

Unfortunately the requirement for best data transfer between the sites
is for my benefit only (I use it mainly for remote backup), and my friend
wouldn't consider anything other than a cheapish domestic contract.

My question is, can one find out which other ISPs have the best connection
to BeThere?

And, given the restrictions, is this the question to be asking, i.e.
if I could find out and choose that ISP, would that make a
difference to the average speed / reliability of the link?
