With a BT Accelerator

VPS
Just finished, well for tonight anyway, my VPS over at prgmr.com. I’ve just been redo’ing the conf from scratch. I’ve updated tidybackup to it anyway:

They use Gradwell for telephone stuff, but they are part of the BT Group…

Wireless power
Forget cables, go wireless. This sounds very cool.
Simon’s Cats – book
Simon’s Cats has released a book, going to pop down to sainsburys to get it come pay day.
Broadband
When we moved we had to move ISP, our new ISP, unlike Sky (EasyNet), is only ADSL, not ADSL2+, so the max speed I can get is 8MB rather then 24MB, also the actual speed I’ll get is slower as well, for example. BT used to think I can only get 4MB but I used to get 6MB.
Anyway, BT thinks I can get 4MB, I’m getting, well… have a look

Not good. I’ve order a BT Accelerator, it’s suppose to help, we’ll see.
Use Google’s DNS servers
Google offers, among other things, free DNS. Basically, rather then using your ISP’s you can use Googles.
Primary DNS – 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS – 8.8.4.4
