Windows 10 first impressions

Have spent the past few days with Windows 10 and wanted to share with out my first impressions.
Upgraded so farHome PC – i7-3770S, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD, GTX750, Windows 8.1 Enterprise (complete clean install to Windows 10 Enterprise)Work laptop Dell XPS15 (Mid 2012 model) running Windows 7 Pro (in place upgrade using ISO)Work Laptop – HP 6555b running windows 7 Pro (in place upgrade using ISO (had to use Parted Magic to increase the size of the system reserved partition before Windows 10 installed)In place upgrade took about an hour on the two laptops. Overall this addresses many of the bad points of Windows 8.1 (by returning some features of Windows 7) but keeping a lot of the background improvements.Good points1. All hardware was detected automatically and drivers were installed at setup or during the first check on Windows Update.2....

By Guest Blogger Brad Mathis, Senior Consultant, InformationSecurity It is mid-2015. By now, we have all seen incoming emails claiming we have been bequeathed a huge sum of money from a Nigerian Prince, or we have won a foreign lottery we never entered. Most employees have seen these scam emails long enough to know they are not real. However, What about the seemingly benign email coming in from a recognizable sender? What if this legitimate looking email has an attached PDF or Word document? What if it contains a seemingly real link to a web site? How many of your employees would open the attachment or click on the link? How many employees will assume it is safe since it made it unscathed through all of your layers of security, including email and web content filters? Do your users understand the ramifications of...

  • HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

    How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes???  I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do.    I have been trying for ages.  This is not a good first impression.

    Authorize a Mac or PC
    Review the following before you authorize a computer:
    You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
    You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
    You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content  from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows.     In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your  list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
    Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

  • First 'impression' of Safari 3.0 Beta in the first 5 minuites of use.

    I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and just downloaded Safari 3.0 for Windows Public Beta (Not included Quicktime)
    The installation is processed smoothly.
    I used it 5 minuites and my first impression is nothing but BUGs BUGs BUGs.
    Alway Crash:
    1. When click anything concerning Bookmarks, Safari crashes. (In other word, cannot use Bookmarks.)
    2. When fill in any form, Safari crashes.
    3. When access any pages with Javascript, Safari crashes.
    Sometime Crash:
    1. When access some pages, Safari randomly crashes. Ordinary pages such as this website itself. The symtom is both CPU core work reach 100% and needed to restart computer.
    2. Randomly show message like "file not found, need reinstall." in any page, of course, even this page.
    Bugs:
    1. Cannot click on the button on the taskbar to minimize.
    2. When minimize and restore, the Safari window going in restore down state.
    3. Memory leak as I monitering RAM usage: increases more than 100MB when open Safari.
    4. Font smoothing shows almost illegible.
    Let down function:
    1. Safari 3.0 for Windows Public Beta is the slowest web browser among all of browsers in my notebook. (IE7, Firefox, Opera, Cameleon Browser.)
    STOP! saying "This is just a BETA!".
    I love to test beta software and report bugs. I'm not a techical geeks so my testing method is to use them just as I always use in everyday life. No tweak or special use I squeesh to the program. I understand the BETA is not FINAL and of course, have more bugs than FINAL.
    But this is not what I call bugs. I call "cannot be used."
    How can you guy call this "PUBLIC" Beta? Have your programmer even see it in action in Windows before release to public?
    This application is the second Apple application I experienced. (The first is iTunes.) It totally let me down because when compare with Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1 I tested last year, Safari 3.0 Public Beta is not in my sight.
    How can you apply guy convince me that Apple is better than Microsoft since I compare just an essential small program and found no pros, even both are in beta state?
    Hope to see Beta 2 with no major crash in the first 5 minuites usage.

    Downgrading via Archive and install is notoriously unreliable. It is much safer to simply retrieve your backup you made before you installed the update after an erase and install. Of course you make at least two backups. Selective file recovery may be in order, such as found in migrating from PowerPC to Intel Macs:

  • CS-4 First Impressions

    First impressions. I know, quite out of date but with all the apparent problems...
    System is a Lenovo 3000 series AMD 64x2 3800+
    Power supply upgraded
    Memory 2 gig Crucial (maximum for the MB)
    Video card is Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS - Latest drivers. Not on the supported list.
    Display is 1280 x 1024.
    Windows XP Home SP-3, Net Framework 3.5 SP 1, and other Forum recommended updates that aren't handled by Windows Update.
    1.05 TB in three drives. (1 K=1024)
    Working with a 6144x4111 pixel 16 bit ProPhoto digital photograph:
    As installed, in the trial download, GUI settings, Photoshop swap file is NOT on the system drive.
    The start up time is about the same as with CS-3. Faster than CS.
    Top menu bar text is rough and appears broken until I put the curser over the text. Then it clears up.
    Click & drag zoom works like a charm.
    "Toss" has a quarter to half second delay before the image moves.
    Lag behind brush is quite noticeable even when zoomed in.
    Brush border is rough & jagged. An indicator that the brush smoothness slider is set to full smooth?
    I saw no delay with typing. (I have to look at the keys and when I looked up after the last letter it was there and sharp.)
    A new learning curve for the palates IS going to need to be climbed. Or is there a "Look like CS, CS2, CS3" toggle somewhere? (NOTE the "First Impressions" above!)
    Now for the interesting part. This test showed the same results as a test, same file but reduced to 3074 pixels width and in 8-bit color. I was doing a "see if file size makes a difference" test.
    There was no difference in behavior with the system running "free" or with ZoneAlarm Pro and BitDefender running in the background. I have BitDefender set to NOT load on computer boot.
    With the stock Open GL settings and a below grade video card, the brief test gave better than expected results with the main down grade being brush lag.
    Just my observations with a video card that may be pushed beyond what can be reasonably expected of it and settings not tuned as per recommendations here.
    One thing that I haven't seen mentioned before is the new ability to re-tune the settings in adjustment layers. There have been many times I would have wanted that ability in the past.
    Bill

    let me make sure I get this; the phone, it is a phone after all, does not have good signal, and it will not pair properly with bluetooth, but you are saying 'everything else is fine'!!!!!!! Why don't you return it, and go get yourself an itouch? You will have all the apps, etc. Then get a mifi from sprint/verizon and you are all set. Then, go get yourself a proper phone with a decent carrier and you will be all set.

  • Merry Christmas, My "New" PB, First Impressions...

    My first post and first Mac:
    Not new to computers, but new to Macs. As a rule, I try to help other users as at least as much as the help I receive. That won't be the case on this forum, as I'm a total Mac noob. Perhaps, as time passes, I'll be able to field simple questions, but that may take a while.
    This Christmas we replaced our son's two year old PB with an MBP. We got the hand-me-down. We wouldn't even own a Mac, except it's required by his college for digital design. This is also my first notebook, so I guess many issues are unique to that fact.
    After one day of ownership, I've had the following observations:
    1. During file transfer over airport, application "locked up", or was "unresponsive". My son used the equivalent of the Windows Task Manager to close it.
    2. iTunes was unusable because, "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." Resolved by changing properties of... something, didn't get the full story yet, but it has to do with changing administrator of the computer.
    3. Bluetooth does not have A2DP protocol... bummer!
    4. Saw the DVD unable to be ejected from his MBP during OS installation. Sheesh!
    Well, that's it so far. I will be back with questions, because he'll be going back to school in a couple weeks. I generally find answers via Google, but sometimes that's not enough. My first impressions are a little disappointing, but maybe that's because I've heard too much hype, such as "It Just Works", and "Switch to a Mac and You'll Never Go Back". I own it, now I'm gonna use it by hook or by crook!

    One other point I forgot to mention was regarding the rubber feet on the bottom. One was lost, so my son removed a second in order for it to sit level. Online, I found the price of replacements at $20.00! I'm using a couple old mouse feet in the mean time, but is there not an aftermarket source for such items at a reasonable price?
    Probably not, but who cares? If you can let go of having to have the exact size, thickness, and material, you can do what I've done for years: Go to your neighborhood hardware store or drugstore and pick up a $1 sheet of little self-adhesive rubber feet. There are many kinds, of course, mostly hovering around one dollar for more than you'll ever need. The ones I picked are clear, so no one notices they don't quite match, and thicker, so they absorb shock better and raise the back another millimeter or two for better bottom ventilation, and they "grab" better so the laptop no longer slides around with a slight nudge. These are actually better than the original equipment feet.

    My PowerBook G4 has 13.29GB of music in iTunes, doesn't seem to be any problem. On the Mac Pro I've got 30GB of audio and video.

  • T500 first impressions and questions

    I just received my computer this afternoon and I have been playing with it for the last couple
    of hours. I thought I would share my first impressions:
    Like I have been told, the build quality seems solid and quite impressive.
    I am surprised by how much I like the simple, dated appearance of the notebook. The
    off center screen isn't something that I find noticeable. And although I don't like how much
    the 9 cell battery sticks out the back, it is one of those things where the performance
    is worth the price. All in all, I feel that the appearance is very discreet.
    I don't like that there are only 3 USB ports, but I knew what I was getting into. I didn't realize
    how close together they are and I hope that I don't run into problems when I need to plug
    multiple items in.
    Thus far, the system runs extremely quiet and quite cool.
    The startup/shutdown is much slower than I thought it would be (windows vista, SSD,GHz)
    but I haven't really tried to optimize it because I am waiting for the arrival of my windows 7
    disk. I just anticipated a faster and more responsive boot/load/etc time with the build
    specs I chose.
    I do not find that there is any noticeable flex in my keyboard. I obviously haven't used it much,
    but so far so good. I was surprised by how small the touchpad area is, but I hope that is something
    I get used to and something that is balanced out by the touchpoint technology.
    I haven't tried to watch or listen to anything yet so I don't really know how I feel about that
    aspect.
    I still haven't figured out many of the intricacies and options presumably because I come
    from using XP (which I regret not downgrading to) and am also not used to business class
    laptops.
    I was wondering what the best way to get the gunk left behind after the removal of the windows vista sticks offer?
    Am I correct in assuming that I can use the fingerprint reader as my master password for firefox?
    If so, is there an easy to follow guide that someone can link me to? I have tried to look it up, but
    haven't encountered anything that has been too helpful. I am not extremely proficient when it comes
    to setting up these types of things.

    I know that I also responded to your other posting on this matter, but especially during video playback you can improve the colors quite a bit using the video drivers options.

    You may have noticed my other post about the display. I am overwhelmingly disappointed.
    I brought it to a non-discerning friend for a second opinion and after watching a short
    amount of video and looking at a couple of pictures side by side with other computers
    she seconded the extreme lack of quality.
    One of the video clips involved a lady with blond hair and my friend noted that on the t500
    her hair appeared almost white because of the lack of colour

  • Time Capsule - First Impressions

    Hope this can help someone...
    TC First Impressions:
    =====================
    -> Relatively easy to set-up a wireless-n-only 5ghz network next to an existing wireless a/g network with TC as the router and Linksys a/g as a gateway plugged into the TC via ethernet.
    -> Able to access Seagate 250 GB external drive plugged into the TC USB without problem.
    -> Can see both the TC drive and Seagate drive from XP/Vista/Mac and add/remove files. This is also true from Vista running on the boot camp partition or as a virtual machine.
    -> Time Machine set-up and backup was relatively simple.
    -> TC wireless-n/a (5 ghz) is not visible by the Xbox 360. Linksys wireless-a network still worked with open NAT.
    -> TC wireless-n/g (2.4 ghz) is accessible by the PS3, but without UPnP. Linksys wireless-g network still worked with UPnP.
    -> Airport Utility restart of the TC has some issues. If wireless from the iMac, the wireless-n network signal would degrade and become unusable -- needed to unplug TC for restart and then everything was fine. If wired through the ethernet port via XP, the Airport Utility sometimes won't see the TC after a restart -- necessitating logging out and back into XP, then the TC was visible.
    -> Internet performance on the wireless-n network is better than wireless a/g (about 30 feet away), but not significantly. Signal is 'very strong'.
    -> Wireless-n access through Window Vista on the boot camp partition is much slower (really unusable) for unknown reasons. However, access through the boot camp partition as a virtual machine (VMWare) is much better -- but still a little slower that Mac OS X.
    -> TC runs warm, but not hot. No smell or odor.
    -> TC runs quiet to me.
    My lessons learned:
    ===================
    -> Plug the power cord into the TC before the outlet. The fit of the plug on the back of the TC is tight and needs a little extra force to set.
    -> The initial wireless Time Machine backup does take a long time.
    -> If the initial Time Machine backup is interrupted....when restarted TM performs an integrity check of the disk. This will look like the backup is hung at 21KB or something like that. Just need to let it run. The backup will be fine.
    -> You can keep your existing router by making it a gateway and plugging it into the TC. No real impact on performance that I can see.
    -> Plugging in a external drive formatted as FAT32 under Windows Vista and containing no files caused the TC to blink amber on startup. Once files were loaded, problem solved.
    Message was edited by: Jeffrey Gardner1

    Max(IT) -> From what I know, the xbox 360 only uses 802.11a (wireless-a) which is a 5ghz spectrum, so I didn't try the 2.4ghz.
    R. Berardi -> You can definitely plug your existing router into the TC being as a gateway, or vice-versa. Either way you'd have wireless-n, you just have to decide which router you want to be the gateway (or connect to the modem). Both can be given a range of IPs to assign as DHCP that don't overlap, and you should be able to reach router admin page and TC Airport Utility from either network (access is by IP). If you wanted to run ethernet upstairs, this would work as well - but the routers have to be connected via ethernet. I've set-up the TC as the gateway with a Linksys a+g router, and this is my experience/understanding.
    Thanks.

  • X1CT first impressions - no pen input ? & pathetic screen door effect

    hello folks, after a 2yr adventure with MacBook Air, I'm back again with Thinkpad, a love story since 1996.
    Order placed in mid December and it is only now I received it. Here are my first impressions, other than those probably commented on this forum earlier.
    Windows and System Update 5 have been updated. First Windows 8 crash occurred while sleep, but it could be a 'teething' Windows 8 problem, prior to the 33 updates.
    Touch works great (I wonder how often I will use it !) and apart from annoying misaligned front right rubber stud, I am more disappointed with the screen, sometimes referred to as the screen door effect.
    The areas of disappointment are :
    There seems to be no pen input ?!? Could anyone please clarify this ? The screen seems to have like a 'digitiser' (like an ATM display at banks), due to the screen door look. I even bought an extra stylus from Tablet 2, which I thought it would work, but in vain.
    Could anything be done to 'improve' that screen door display ? This is pretty annoying.
    Many thanks. Clifford 

    Yeah - the monitor was faulty...
    Thanks to everyone that responded to the several posts.
    Cheers Paul

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T430s - first impressions and issues

    I bought ThinkPad T430s last week and just wanted to write down my thoughts, first impressions and the issues I ran into.
    I am very pleased with the laptop in terms of hardware - solid and nice build quality, understated style and (relatively) light weight. The screen is sharp, sound is good enough for me (I am no audiophile) and I am getting used to the chiclet keyboard - which feels just a little springy.
    But I am not pleased with the software. There is just too much bloatware on the system and some of it is hard to get rid of.
    SugarSync
    Evernote
    Lenovo MyCloud
    VeriSign VIP Access
    Intel AppUp
    and the biggest offender - Lenovo SimpleTap -- You can't get rid of the SimpleTap without uninstalling the individual apps first.
    It would be nice if the system showed a dialog box that said "Hey, here are some cool apps we highly recommend and you may want to look at", instead of pre-installing all these stupid apps.
    On top of that I ran into the Windows updates failing issue.
    So I ended up specnding 4+ hours just to get the system right.
    Lenovo and Microsoft need to understand that they need to deliver an excellent and functional experience to users and not push any stupid system that they have come up with just to make an extra buck.
    Look at Apple products. People love Apple products (I don't, but I do admire them) because of the simple and functional experience they provide.
    In short install just what is necessary. You can let users know that there are other goof programs but leave it up to the users.

    Thanks for your response ThorsHammer.
    In fact that is exactly what I am going to do this weekend.
    I am in the middle of posting another message asking for recommendations and experience on the absolute minimum I can get away with.
    Right now I am thinking Windows 7, System Update and Power Manager.
    In my case, I installed the following:
    Windows 7
    Intel chipset drivers
    Intel WIFI driver (wifi driver only)
    Intel Ethernet driver
    Lenovo Power Management driver
    Lenovo Power Manager
    Optimus video drivers for Intel HD 4000 and NVIDIA 5200M
    RealTek audio driver - I think this also installed Dolby Home Theater v4
    Ricoh Media driver
    Lenovo Ultranav driver
    Webcam driver
    I don't install much more than that.  I like to manually check the download areas for updates so I don't install Lenovo ThinkPad System Update.

  • ITunes 11.0 First Impressions

    1. My first impression of the user interface is that it's "square" and "flat".
       Esthetically I don't see it as an improvement. To the contrary, I think
       the former interface is nicer.
    2. After starting iTunes 11.0 it sat there for 1/2 an hour with the message
       "Sending Information to Apple", then a dialog box displayed with:
       We cannot complete your iTunes Store request
       An unknown error occurred (4002)
       Note that three subsequent attempts resulted in the same iTunes match error.
    3. Could not find a way to change the BRIGHT WHITE background.  I hate the white
       background for various reasons.  I'm sure many other customers preferred the dark
        background as well.
    4. Tried syncing my iPhone and had to cancel.  It was copying 49 apps, I believe
       some of these were from my iPad.  Had to then restart iTunes.
    5. Movies in grid view have large gaps in between the rows of movies.
       It is UGLY!  Is it just me, or do others have these huge gaps?
    6. Looking at my music, I see no way to view the songs in a list view.
       Where are the convenient buttons which quickly allowed changing views?
       Now there is just unused space where they used to be.  And all of
       the menu items under View -> Column Browser are disabled. 
       Why???
    7. Hey, at least they brought back color icons, which Apple deemed that
       no one liked!  (That was sarcasm).
    Overall I am extremely dissapointed with this update, and it has me wondering how the
    most valuable company in the world could release something that looks more at home
    on a Linux desktop.

    It's terrible. There is no symmetry in the views anymore. It is so bad, that it will take a lot of testing for me to figure out what is wrong with it. The only view that allows different views is the playlist view. I can't get an "artist list" for all my music. I can only get it for the currently selected playlist. I suppose I could make a playlist with all music. Where did sort by album by artist/year go? That's the view I used the most. I found it in the songs view. But there I can't see the album covers. It's so unsymmetrical now. Where did the status bar go that told me how many songs I selected and what the total play time is? I don't know if all my songs are there. The albums view and the videos views are worthless if you have 15,000 songs and videos. They just rearranged things. There's nothing new. There are things missing. The thing that needed fixing was synchronization. All that should be removed from iTunes, but they didn't make any changes to that. Can I go back to iTunes 10?

  • Put back "Open Link in New Window" first and default, rather than "Open Link in New Tab" in Safari 6.1

    I do not like the order of the context menu changes in Safari 6.1.  I have become accustomed to using "Open Link In New Window" first in the context list, rather than the new "Open Link In New Tab".  I do not wish to use Tabs.  How may I remove this?

    Well, I solved it just after I posted this.  I opened up the Safari Preferences, then went to the TABS section, and set "Open pages in tabs instead of windows: to NEVER", and unchecked "⌘-click opens a link in a new tab".   That set it back to open in new windows.
    Tabs work if I am making quick tabs to refer to something.  Horrible if I want to compare two websites side by side.  So, by disabling the auto TAB function, I'm back to the way I prefer my browser to work, rather than the way something thinks I ought to use it.
    Don't care about having all my browsers behavior the same.  If I wanted that, I would have run those browsers.

  • First impressions -Bad Start

    Took me some time to get all the various connections sorted. Initial feeling is that the freeview picture isn't as good as my old box. Some of the channels(including BBC1)have black lines around the edge which weren't there before. When I had a quick look at the on demand content had to say I was a bit disappointed. Thought I'd try it out this evenoing only to get a message saying it was currently unavailable, please try later. I couldn't access any of the menu items - I think I got error 400 - and then to add insult to injury I couldn't even get the Freeview channels , just got a BT screen saying 'starting up' or something similar. So, only analogue to fall back on. Lucky we haven't had the switch off yet. First impressions, not good.

    The black lines are displayed while a 4:3 aspect programme is showing in order to display it correctly. If you'd rather have it distorted, but fill the screen then you can use the shortcut menu to stretch. If I remember rightly you may have to keep setting that, can't remember as I never use it myself.
    Make sure that the box is successfully connected to the internet through the hub as it won't be able to start without chatting to the server.

  • First impressions of the 3.0 update from a 1st gen iPhone user

    MIne is a 1st gen iPhone purchased opening day 2 years ago and I had a brief period of non working stocks and weather apps that are now fine (apparently an issue that was widespread today across the diff iPhones). After that everything is business as usual. I did reset my settings after the install and restore my iphone with a current back up as a precaution and so far works great.
    First impressions: The camera is a little snappier and sharper in photo taking.
    Copy and paste: RAD!!!
    Voice memos: Can send instantly via e-mail MY LADY LIKES....KINDA KINKY!!!
    Find my phone: Would be cooler with GPS the 1st gen won't help you find exactly where it is.
    Spotlight: very functional and useful for a phone packed with stuff...like mine.
    Landscape keyboard: nice but should have been there 1st time out.
    Overall it's the kind of update that a moderately smart user that can RTFM will install and enjoy. If you are an idiot who tries to install it from a buddies computer or likes to unplug things in midstream you won't like it, because your phone will be useless until you do it properly and follow the simple steps.

    hi,
    we were trying an export from one database to another- and ran into problems- portal created a package under the portal30 schema (dbms_lob- a copy of which originally exists under the sys schema) that was previously not there.
    so we decided to uninstall the portal and the sso schemas. we carried out this step:
    1) Drop the Portal, SSO, and their respective _public DB users cascade.
    but the portal30 schema will not allow us to drop the dbms_lob package that it created (which incidentally compiles with an invalid package body)
    it continues to give the following error message:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [16201], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
    is there any way to complete the unistallation of portal without unistalling the entire database?
    thanks for any help.

  • First impressions of the iPad

    I played with an iPad yesterday at our local Apple Store, and my first impressions are very positive. I plan to buy one when the 3G models come out in a few weeks.
    The only major disappointment for me is that the iPad OS does not support printing to local networked or shared printers. Does anyone know of a good 3rd party solution for this?
    Thanks,

    I'm reasonably satisfied. iPad was purchased primarily as a nightstand entertainment device for the bedroom. I use it for reading, streaming of netflix video, playback of synched TV content, and/or playing music before going to sleep at night. (Wife likes to watch TV but I usually prefer reading a chapter or two or catching up on Lost which I never watched on TV.) And, while I don't really plan to use it for and serious productive/creative work, I did invest in the iWork apps for presentations at computer group meeting and/or the creation of PDF files when away from home and visiting relatives. (Plan to take it with me today when about 15 relatives all gather for our annual Easter Meal at a local restaurant.) In any case, I am happy with my purchase.

  • First impressions (mixed bag)

    My first impressions after having BT Infinity installed on Friday are a mixed bag. Speed tests extremely good, 76Mb down/ 18Mb up, pretty maxed out on a short line (cab < 300 metres). However, my gripes.....
    P2P is heavily shaped. No problem, afterall I was on BT ADSL and used to traffic shaping being lifted in early hours of the morning to do download. However, uploads are permently 24/7 throttled to 1Mb, which I do not think it acceptable.
    I run an FTP server and regularly upload to it. FTP port is permentaly throtlled to 8Mb upload. I know this is still fast but I think to artificially slow FTP upload down 24/7 is again unacceptable.
    Home hub 3 is rubbish and a security risk. It permently keeps port 161 open (as tested by test my shields) and port forwarding seems broken. I thought I had a faulty one but after doing some research it seems that these are common issues!
    Needless to say initially impressed, but now I'm more annoyed with the service. Like car with a top speed of 150MPH but can never do more than 60MPH, even on a empty road!

    Thanks for your advice guys. I already subscribe to SwissVPN as I have always done on ADSL to bypass traffic shaping, and it used to max out my 4Mb connection but that seems capped too at 8Mb down and about 1Mb up. I pay about £6 a month.
    Can you recommened another VPN provider that can provide higher speeds than this? I wouldn't mind a US VPN as I guess this would allow to access media content in the US (hulu etc) but would really prefer highest speed VPN possible for under £10 a month? What VPN speeds to you get using StrongVPN?
    A basic feature such as port forwarding I would expect on the cheapest of routers. What the point in a router if it can't route? This must be causing BT support calls that aren't really needed if router worked as intended.
