This is the best setup vid on Youtube.

The Netgear DG834 is an ADSL modem / router / 4 port SWITCH, but then of course the manufacturers website could always be wrong!

@SuperFlubble I have 0.34mb down and 0.16 up and I can access the internet perfectly, watch videos on youtube, downloads are a little slow, but I can do pretty much anything anyone else can do.

Where do you put your legs?

I under stand the importance of latency packet loss etc. My connection is 6.8 with the best latency i've ever seen. Completely flat line with no sudden leaps or drops. It's just that as bandwidth becomes more and more essential with things like hd streaming, I just can't see why you wouldn't of spent less on the huge server and invested in a leased line.

I didn’t spend a huge amount of money on anything. My Citrix Xenserver is an AMD quad worth about £250, an old desktop machine, my fileserver is an old Pentium 4 machine I got free.
The rackmount ATX cases are £40 on Ebuyer. The cabinet was free, the UPS was £280, the Cisco was £30.
In comparison, a leased line here would cost thousands per month!
Besides, I don’t need more bandwidth anyway, don’t do much streaming and I am only hosting a small website and my own email server.

3.5mb down? You spent all this money on a huge server and you can barely even access the Internet

You think that 3.5Mbit is no use?
Yes, if I lived 3 miles from here I would get 40Mbit but would that be any better? In my experience, not much based on the fact that link speed means very little. What IS important is the quality, latency, packet loss, traffic shaping by the ISP which in the UK makes even 50Mbit connections pretty much useless with most ISP’s. I may only have 3.5Mbit but the quality of my ISP rivals the 2 x 1Gbit connections we have at work.
