    If youre gonna add a speed result for FT, here you go, 64k , doubled to 128k.

    Btw, the VPI and VCI is actually 1 and 100. Their DNS servers are 62.215.6.51 and 62.215.6.52

    Thanks Pyyth4 for pointing out the mistake. The speedtest.net results are not enough, please provide more info. And don’t reference the “double your bandwidth” scheme, just point out the speed as mentioned in the customer contract.

    Nobody from Fast Telco seems to want to share their info :/

    I guess you will need those info about the speed

    Btw, If you arent taking the 3COM router from FT, they give you a modem for free, the modem is Globespanvirata UGA-101, and I think they provide a wireless adaptor along with the router.

    You should be able to tell if they do by using OpenDNS then going to their test/welcome page.

    Been using OpenDNS for a long time, I cant find the page anymore that says “You are using OpenDNS” (aka test page?), or it aint being displayed cause I’m using OpenDNS i guess.

    I guess they have transparent proxy, cause even If i use OpenDNS, pages are still blocked. Been thinking for a long time why that was happening, thx to you :P

    thought that the disapperance of 62.215.5.3 meant the ending of transparent proxy.
