Up and running with Amcom

Today I got my ADSL up and running with Amcom. I’m currently on one of their 8Mbps/1Mbps plans and my modem syncs at ~7Mbps, so I’m pretty happy. The speed difference compared to 1.5Mbps is noticeable. While each individual download isn’t always much faster (because it may be limited by the server you are pulling it from), you can download a lot more in total with multiple concurrent downloads.

I intend to upgrade to an ADSL2+ plan (24Mbps/1Mbps) once I get an ASDL2 modem. I currently have a Draytek V2600G which I’m really happy with but unfortunately it’s ADSL1 only. The modem I’ve got my eye on is the Draytek V2800G which is a 4 Port, 802.11G+ (11/54/108MB) wireless ADSL router with with ADSL2/2+ support, SPI firewall, VPN, and print server.
