For a couple of years I was surfing the net via Speedlinq. Speedlinq was a low-cost ISP that offered a 8 Mbps/1Mbps ADSL connection for only 25 euro's per month. About 2 years ago KPN decided to take over Speedlinq, but only since a couple of weeks I see the result. The ISP is now rebranded into KPN's low budget brand: Telfort.
And because my ISP is now Telfort, I could choose to change my current subscription. So this is what I did: I upgraded to a superfast ADSL2+ 20 MBps connection!! And the cool thing is, that it's also 7 euro's per month cheaper. Now I pay € 19,95 p/month. And for another € 9,95 I get VOIP (free land line calls, cheap international calls) extra.
This are the speed test results of this morning:
The speed results vary a little. Hopefully it get's a little higher. But downloadling a Windows Service Pack from Microsoft's Download Center gives me around 1.8 MByte/sec.
What I never expected is that the upgrade was so smooth. I received a package by mail from Telfort with a new ADSL2+/VOIP modem inside on Friday. Because I was working home on Friday and Internet is import for my job, I opened it in the evening. I replaced the modem and it worked immediately. No downtime besides the time it took me to replace the modem :-)
