Internet + phone via cable BW

So, for a quick a progress report on my new cable Internet provider BW - altogether quite a successful alternative for southern Germany.

Cost:
GOOD - 29,90 are actually for 10 Mbps including Web and telephone Flatrate a word and 5ct / min for Europe (mostly) and the U.S. are actually quite moderate. (Minimum term 24 months . Cable connection for about 15 € / month requirement, but we pay one way or another)

Installation:

BESCH ... - 4 classes a total of 3 weeks until it finally works, after all, somebody came and has everything set up (the cable boxes in the house exchange would be on their own performance was hardly possible)

Power Phone:
GOOD - voice quality is super so far (about 1 month), no failures, the number has the local area code, and is actually easy to remember (but do not ask ...)

performance Internet:
GOOD - up to 1 MB / Sec. Download and 100K / Sec. Upload leave nothing to be desired, and the ping of 68ms I think is OK, too ...

Windows XPP (lus) - Part 3: Security

In Part 1 and 2 this small series, we have enhanced our Windows XP and optimized with the practical tools. To ensure that everything is so beautiful in the long run, some security measures are necessary.

against viruses and spyware, the McAfee Internet Security Suite ( free on AOL ), replaces the feeble and the XP firewall with the same. The espionage attempts by the "good guys" in derogation of Microsoft XP-Antispy . Confidential data (bank statements, love letters, ...) , with the help of TrueCrypt encrypt reliably, in a file that is then mounted as virtual drive.

The XeroBank browser (formerly Torpark) is a preconfigured Firefox browser that allows you (using TOR) may anonymously surf the Internet, which is exacerbating the speed.

Conclusion: It works! With a standard XP, as it included many years each computer and a few freeware tools you can build an operating system that is technically and visually back on the amount of time - this is the time to bridge comfortably until the last application gaps Linux closed.

I Think My Motorbike Is A Stolen

Windows XPP (lus) - Part 2: System Tools Windows

Thus, a shiny new system (see Part 1 ) will of course be maintained ...

JkDefrag (frontend here, completely down) takes to defragment, and listens to it (unlike the XP "standard tools") at first, when the disk is defragmented completely. PageDefrag make yourself, before the start up various system files that are locked during operation. CCleaner acknowledges the registry and temporary files (eg, 6 GB of space savings on my office PC).

The ProcessExplorer replaces the task manager and shows much additional information for processes and system. The Notebook Hardware Manager utilizes power-saving features that stuck in many desktop computers.

The PartedMagic Live CD is a free alternative to tools like Partition Magic, and receives a large collection of hard drives and partitioning tools on Linux.
