Have a read... i work with Dave who wrote this..

Its obvious to all that the UK broadband infrastructure is not set up to cope with current and future demand generated by the likes of BBC iplayer or You Tube.

I often hear stories on the net and in the local community of people with 2mb or up to 8mb connections but getting only sometimes dial up speed. A mate of mine is on Pipex and he's had poor speeds for months, and he's about to take them to small claims court for failing to provide the advertised service. Of course the script monkeys at Pipex blame everyone and everything but themselves, but we all know the truth.

I use an enta.net reseller Aquiss as my ISP, I pay £24.99 a month, a lot of money for a broadband connection, BUT I do get guaranteed decent up to 8mb speeds 24/7 on a managed service and if I get a problem, I can call them any time and I will get a human being with a brain on the phone who will always do their utmost to solve the problem rather than pass the buck as most other larger ISP's do.

I keep getting some berd in Bombay that reads to me from the instruction leaflet that comes with the router...
I already have that in front of me.........
And I get addled at the best of times, and off...
So I get my lad out of his house, come over here, and tell him to sort it out, After all he picked this crappy service. This "option 1" I got is the pits... The money I pay them, is good , tho........

tiscali capped me for a while til i told them to

they will never stop people copying films, games, etc, if they do manage to stop it thru p2p, peeps will go back to the old ways of renting a film and copying it, buying them from chinese guys in city centres, and games/utils dvd's like blobbies and tango's will make a come back. i think the legendary blobby cd got to at least number 67+ if i remember

if it comes to it i'll stick my usb wifi adapter on the top of the house see how many unsecure routers i can connect to
