What is BPL.  I understand it has something to do with internetn access.?

Broadband over Power Line, an emerging technology that utilizes existing medium voltage to transport data at broadband speeds.

DSL is nothing more than a transport to the internet...it can't prevent you from accessing specific websites therefore AllTell would not be able to assist you in unblocking anything.  If I were you, I would attempt to use a different browser (Firefox, Netscape, etc) when trying to access this chat room.  Either that or your router itself (if you're connected to one) is set not to access certain sites which again, would be up to you to reconfigure.

They parter with SBC to provide Internet Access.  http://sbc.yahoo.com/

National Access is awful.  It is MUCH slower than dial-up and usually doesn’t work at all.  However it does work just like a regular internet connection, only badly.

yes happens to us all the time and because we've got the phone through them we can't go anywhere else for broadband without moving to bt and then getting some other broadband and who can be bothered with that!!\ni think ntl should call it their poxy server!!

It means Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet, it's usualy used with DSL connections.

are you on dial up, if so then the same hapens to me when the net slows down, usually re logging into your internet helps, or just trying later, they can see a nickle on the moon but they cannot keep us on a good internet connection, makes u wonder doenst it

(m)\n\nBroadband Internet access, often shortened to "broadband Internet" or just "broadband", is a high data-transmission rate internet connection. DSL and cable modem, both popular consumer broadband technologies, are typically capable of transmitting 256 kilobits per second or more, starting at approximately four times the speed of a modem using a standard digital telephone line.\n\nBroadband Internet access became a rapidly developing market in many areas in the early 2000s; one study found that broadband Internet usage in the United States grew from 6% in June 2000 to over 30% in 2003.[1]\n\nModern consumer broadband implementations, up to 30 Mbit/s, are several hundred times faster than those available at the time of the popularization of the Internet (such as ISDN and 56 kbit/s) while costing less than ISDN and sometimes no more than 56 kbit/s; though performance and costs vary widely between countries.\nBroadband is often called high-speed Internet, because it usually has a high rate of data. In general, any connection to the customer of 256 kbit/s (0.256 Mbit/s) or more is considered broadband Internet. The International Telecommunication Union Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendation I.113 has defined broadband as a transmission capacity that is faster than primary rate ISDN, at 1.5 to 2 Mbit/s. The FCC definition of broadband is 200 kbit/s (0.2 Mbit/s) in one direction, and advanced broadband is at least 200 kbit/s in both directions. The OECD has defined broadband as 256 kbit/s in at least one direction and this bit rate is the most common baseline that is marketed as "broadband" around the world. There is no specific bitrate defined by the industry, however, and "broadband" can mean lower-bitrate transmission methods. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use this to advantage, in marketing lower-bitrate connections as broadband.\n\nIn practice, the advertised bandwidth is not always reliably available to the customer; ISPs often allow a greater number of subscribers than their backbone connection can handle, under the assumption that most users will not be using their full connection capacity very frequently. This aggregation strategy works more often than not, so users can typically burst to their full bandwidth most of the time; however, peer-to-peer file sharing systems, often requiring extended durations of high bandwidth, stress these assumptions, and can cause major problems for ISPs who have excessively overbooked their capacity. For more on this topic, see traffic shaping. As takeup for these introductory products increases, telcos are starting to offer higher bit rate services. For existing connections, this most of the time simply involves reconfiguring the existing equipment at each end of the connection.\n\nAs the bandwidth delivered to end-users increases, the market expects that video on demand services streamed over the Internet will become more popular, though at the present time such services generally require specialised networks. The data rates on most broadband services still do not suffice to provide good quality video, as MPEG-2 quality video requires about 6 Mbit/s for good results. Adequate video for some purposes becomes possible at lower data rates, with rates of 768 kbit/s and 384 kbit/s used for some video conferencing applications. The MPEG-4 format delivers high-quality video at 2 Mbit/s, at the high end of cable modem and ADSL performance.

Where do you have your DSL through?  It sounds like you might have your DSL through SBC Yahoo DSL, and if so, it sounds like something is going on with your account.  You might visit http://dsl.yahoo.com for assistance.  They will have contact information available.\n\nIf you do not have SBC Yahoo DSL, I'm not sure of the problem.

PLZZZZZ......\n                      Go for BSNL broadband

Oh yes, there is an Annex to the ADSL2+ standard that specifies precisely this! It can double your upload speeds by increasing the frequency designated to transmit information from your computer to the internet. This is called AnnexM. Here is the standards specification if you are interested: http://www.itu.int/md/T05-SG09-C/

If you are using a LAN based internet Connection, then there is definately there is a problem with connection, ask your network operator for a solution.

THIMK!\n\nNo ISP has a "1 to 1" connection to the internet.  They use some formula to figure out an "average".   This results in slower transmissions when more are using it.  The same is true of the internet itself!

Maybe it's the weather. I have DSL, and I'm having some problems getting into sites. It's almost like I have dial up again!! UUUGGGGGG! It could also be that since the weather is so bad, there are a lot more people online...Lots of traffic..

If you are using BT and you have QoS (Quality of Service) features on your router (e.g. Linksys), set the port to high priority and set the upload speed about 25 Kb under your BT Client and unlimited download speed.\n\nFor other P2P, it really depends the other end of peer computer speed, so you really don't have control for the "bandwidth throttle".

not a world accessing comp but an internet.
