amundsen Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi there,I guess there has been some major change in Tiscali UK lately. Since last week I'm almost unable to download a thing at a decent speed - more than 10kB/s with a broadband 2,2MbpsI'm using just a "modem", Thomson, S/N CP0709ATVKS; DSLBB607SL eaa2.It's also impossible to establish any open port.Please, any idea what should be modified?Thanks!

dave3655 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I Thought it was something i'd changed inadvertantly. Upgraded to 8mb Broadband within the last few days and for 1 night i got a speed of 500kb/s. Never seen better than 60kb/s on the old 2mb. Wow!! awesome. Now i can't even get a connection even though all the other tinterweb sites work fine. What is going on???ps forgot to mention, i'm with Tiscali. Maybe they've taken on too many new customers with the awesome introductory offer of free gear +unlimited 8mb BB for £6.99 / month!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amundsen Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Must be something in the "air"! I usualy was able to download with a speed of over 100, or at least 40. Now it's like 0 or the most 10. Please, help, there must be a way to walk it through.Just to give clear results - I have just run a speed test on testmy.netDownload :: 1587 Kbps or 1.59 Mbps (194 kB/s)Upload :: 220 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps (27 kB/s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amundsen Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hi,i don't know if it matters, but i'm using Windows Vista.Any ideas of solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Try the µTorrent 1.8 alpha? Other than that, there isn't much I can think of. Search the forums, and you'll find many other Tiscali users afflicted with the same problems. Tiscali interferes with BitTorrent traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeB_UK Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have just been migrated from pipex to this bunch of jokers, I can't get any torrents to work. They are not transfering any data at all, and I have tried different ports, encryption and can't get it working Is there any way to get utorrent working with tiscali?

Switeck Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Seems Tiscali's networking equipment is getting better and better at blocking BitTorrent traffic.You may need to remind them that BitTorrent is part of the internet...that they CLAIM to be providing. You'll probably still need to change ISPs if you really want to use BitTorrent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloomyclown Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Migrated to Tiscali a few days ago and was immediately hit by the speed problems, could only get up to 5kB/s.Can confirm that uTorrent 1.8 alpha is the way to go.I updated and almost immediately got back to the speeds I'd expect (cuurently >250kB/s) .
