That's a similar price to high speed fibre I think?  If you have fibre that is...  ::)
My 500Mb synchronous has just gone up...   ...to £22 ;D

Admittedly that is a special deal, but my previous 900Mb synchronous was only £50 on a rolling month basis
.

Decent fibre from altnets is significantly cheaper than services like ADSL when that first came out.  But not many have access to altnets, although more small villages have a better chance :y

No need to rub it in, you bastard. :D ;)

I hear that Starlink is around 200 down and 13 up. No idea if that is good, bad, or somewhere in between. All I know is that our current speed is shit slow. :-\

I've seen them advertise deals with refurbished kit, so keep your eye out.  :y


It looks like the cost is currently £225 ( £450 before) for the dish, and then £85 a month. Not cheap.

Elon is worth £280 billion so he could afford to make it less expensive.

What sort of speeds do you get for that?  ???

High speed fibre is well cheaper than £85. But, if you live on a rambling country estate, Openreach aren't about to use a whole drum of cable to get to you.


Yep....they always pick on the most innocent. :-X ::)

Our internet connection has always been poor.

It is presently run through a Huawei router.

Anyway, the name Starlink has come up as an alternative.

Anyone with experience of Starlink?....I know it's not cheap but if it works I don't mind.

Bike engines were producing 100 BHP a litre NA back in the time of Moses.

Quite simple really.....lots of revs and a carb for each cylinder. :y
Yeah, but no torque, sadly.  As nothing is better than 15,000+ rpm rattling your gonads :y

In 2024 superbikes can manage more than 200 BHP per litre without forced induction. No grunty low down torque but low weight and gearing tends to cover this up.

My Yamaha FJ1200 only made 125 BHP but was also a proper 'stump puller' when it came to torque.

You won't find many virgins over the age of 18 in the UK.  :)

maybe they had 72 virgins close to their 'use by date'   :-\
 I'm not sure how it works , I haven't read the Quran

72 virgins at the same time is enough to kill any man. ::) ::) >:D

The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.

The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.

The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.

Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.

The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts  >:D


Long time ago now, but, my 1991 Sierra 2.OGLX came with a DOHC lump that made it pretty quick.

Can't remember how much power it made now, but I think around 125BHP.

There's a kebab joke in there somewhere.

He is a Christian man. ::)

No idea why he had a Muslim send off. :)

Why does C-L-I-O become clit? ::)

Quite a lickable clit if I remember the adverts correctly.

There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.

My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager!  :o :o

The very young and the very old are always given a kicking when it comes to insurance.
