Lol.. I thought it would work, I've been using SNS since April 2008, my foundation year, still am using their service now, I've been using BVPN since way back in 2007 I think, but using it on SNS since January 2008 till January 2009, no problems at all, but as you noticed, the speed just doesn't justify BVPN, I'll be renewing my subscription to BVPN during the summer break, when I can use my home Streamyx line to the MAX!
Oh, and the IPT service, best thing to happen to the internet since porn yo.... you would be able to max out SNS with it...lol
In fact, this reminds me, I had this conversation with Reuben before, lol, he asked me use putty to test the ports and stuff, he told me about some third party software used in the UK campus to bypass the firewall... was a long time ago..lol.. Thanks Reuben! I love BVPN..
