CJ Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just ran a speed test and the following warning came up: Warning: You connection shows signs of ISP upload compression. What does that mean exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I would hazard a guess that it means they are using proxy servers which compress picture/data images even further than the original source thereby saving bandwidth. It is used a lot by mobile phone operators to save bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rate it at 768kbs but invariably it is even slower than that. I don't suppose there is anything i can do my end to speed this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not really... I didn't think so I have another company offering me 1 meg connection but I am wary as they will be using the same lines. Knowing my luck, I will swap over, pay more, and still not get what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Some tips from WSB2. May help. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=135432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not really... Yeah, tbh I didnt think the Greek Islands were known for their high broadband speeds! You could always winter in Scandanavia to make up for it, they have 100mbit connections up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always winter in Scandanavia to make up for it, they have 100mbit connections up there That is the thing, I don't reckon Kos will have an decent main connection coming in anyway, and this will be shared over the ADSL. I will see if I can find an internet map of Kos' connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Could always try Satellite broadband if they do it there, probably faster and no doubt a lot more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Some info... Tellas has a 2.5Gbps connection which is shared across the entire country... stll trying to find out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May help. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=135432 I'm not too sure it will as we still use the older system here with the square jack plug as opposed to the flat ones now used in the UK.

Thank you my friend. Just in case you didn't know, I live on Kos and currently use ADSL through OTE (Greek equivalent of BT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive? As in how much? I currently pay around 18 euro per month without my line rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, compared to what you are paying it would be more... I'd hazzard a guess and say 10 times as much a month. Have a search on google mate and see what comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
