I'm considering getting fibre put in, as it's available in our area.  60mbps down, 20mpbs up.  That'd be a touch faster than the current 8mbps down, 1.3mbps up

I have that service, the download is always good but upload never reaches 3mpbs,

Unfortunately the caveat with most fibre providers is that to run a server we'd need:

- static IP address
- open e-mail ports (most ISPs block to prevent infected users sending spam)
- reverse DNS entry (more a vanity thing, can live without it but it's nice to have)

Of course this is always hard information to extract from the majority of broadband providers websites.  Virgin, for example, only offer static IPs with business packages, so no good for me.

Plusnet at least make a point of supporting static IPs for home users.  The other's I've not investigated - yet

Is the VOD down again or is it just me.

Please check your username, password, database name and host.
Also make sure config.php is rightly configured!

Tony,

Ive always just gone for a package with fixed ips, but a friend was once running, umm, somthing, off a dynamic dns service, and, so far as i can remember, he was happy with that.

An example being http://www.no-ip.com however i dont think that was the one he was using - it was some years back though.

Down again, i suppose until Fri? dig deep people 

[RichardP]

Yep, I was just reading Paddy's post about bandwidth when it went off.
