UK Holiday WiFi.

OOps. Read as that as 3g payg dongle

 

Weird, they have got a £15 option there on the PAYG tab with no
apparent limit. But the £15 option on the main page has a 150mb limit.

You don't look Chinese.

 

Yes and that made a big difference when they dropped it to 5 & 5.

I always make a call to VF shortly before going away on summer hols to
see if I need to subscribe to some special data option.

 

Ta, may well take you up on that. Is it mains or battery powered?

 

Not exactly. They've been having problems: difficult connections and
slow data rates. This has led them to drop data charges for all their
users, until they've sorted the problems out. Sdaly, they've cracked
it, which means they'll be charging for data again from June 1st.

However - if you buy a £10 'goodybag' that's it for a month and that
includes free data, as much as you can eat. The Boy found this deal and
has been using it for the past couple of months and he's very happy with
it.

I just send abusive text messages to Packer. It doesn't solve the
problem but it makes me feel like I've had my money's worth when the
bill comes.

 

Still says mobile internet's only free until the end of May, then
20p/mb. As I'm not going anywhere 'til June &/or July, it won't be
free, & could work out very expensive.

 

I think I've used up my entire month's worth of texts today sending
abuse to my eldest after she called me stupid on fb last night.

I think Darwin says the joke's on both of you.

 

Sounds perfect for an evening sat in a deckchair outside me tent!

 

My phone does all of that.

 

Are you permitted to Tether?

 

Meh. So it does, on a link from the link I provided. Meh. Boy won't
like that - but still, 'fair use' of 100Mb a day for a tenner a month
isn't bad, with all the texts and minutes rolled in.

And while I'm here: go to a less pikey campsite - or yet better a hotel
with wifi - and GFY,YKNC.

How RUDE!

 

How long does the battery last in wifi tether mode?

 

I read those as being the rates if you don't have a "goodybag", a term
that, somewhat irrationally, grates intensely.

 

Reasonable??

No it isn't, it is a fucking outrageous rip off plain and simple.

If this were wartime those cunts would be shot for profiteering and you
likewise for aiding and abetting the enemy. Trouble is that it is the
fucking stupid idiots like you who will actually pay for it when if only
you had a single functioning grey cell in your scrotum you would boycott
it and they would be FORCED to drop their prices but sadly you and far too
fucking many just as stupid as you stubbornly remain ripped off clueless
cunts while they get rich and can afford better bikes than you can.
Although knowing what you ride then frankly you would not have to boycott
stuff for long so perhaps that wasn't the best example to use but you, or
a less cretinous you, know what I mean.

As long as you like when it's getting a power feed from the
laptop/netbook via USB.

 

Yes.

 

I decided against sending him abusive text messages after he started
dismembering road kill.
