Broadband arse

Hah.

It really depends on where you live. Cable networks are an amalgam of lots
of little networks, some of which were put together properly, some of which
were done in an afternoon from a Maplin catalogue. That said, I know a
couple of people near porl who have BY and they have no problems. And if
the net's a bit shitty, there's plenty of porn on pay-per-view

 

And no doubt many who stash gloves in their glockboxes.

 

Spamming ****.

 

You reckon Des picked one up from Wal-Mart?

 

The dum dums are real, however.

 

You choose a bad time to think of moving. Due to the new extended
reach limits, BT are up to their armpits trying to get all those
country bumpkins connected.

 

Wot he says. I've not used them for Broadband but I've used them for
other services (web hosting with ASP & Db etc.). I used to work with a
northern nobber wot used to work for them and it was on his
recommendation .

Good they are, cheap too, and they fix things quickly when they are
broken. IME of course.

 

Indeed.

 

However, Zet failed to get ADSL activated for me in Milton Keynes, after
several weeks of trying, whereas Pipex had it sorted in a couple of
days.

Currently with Virgin, who've been fine (so far).

 

Oh, thats OK then.

 

Low signal ? Did they lay low quality cable ?

 

Yeah, that was on one of the "special interest" channels I think

 

I forgot to check.

 

Well, I guess most normal people have better things to do with their
time than performing digs and nslookups in response to random usenet
messages. I, on the other hand, am a very, very, sad bastard.

Isn't that a euphemism for the morning after a particularly poor
balti?

 

As I wrote it, I did think of all those spam mails that whiz past.

 

Its fibre to the outside wall here

Still possibly a cable qualtiy issue, NTL did do some "cheap" installs.
Or they did not do a proper contention ratio calc.

 

I think I had that recently. The speed of my BB [1] connection had
dropped to the point of complaining.

Next day a couple of NTL monkeys arrived and were next seen with big
cable reels and blue string: "basically, it's a fatter cable".
