This - is it ever going to stop raining.

Unblocked scuttle drain and flushed out sludge (again). Might have to look at removing that rubber drain bung, but cant get my arms down past the pollen filter.

You never get stuck behind me, unless I am stuck behind some dick doing 38mph in a 60 or a idiot on a bike----

Thanks, yes, have to be careful with those plastic parts. What I often wonder is the warning of cam cover bolts overtightening. How can you warp the covers? It is 'Metal to Metal". I tighten them as long as I can feel this metal contact when the brass spacer contacts the head and that's it.

Some company came and installed some in our road.. Put a point outside our neighbours' house and ours (we're number 3) then went off and never finished the rest of the road. ;D
Guessing they had a council grant to cover the village.  They can say the road is provided, but unless a number of people further up the road register interest, they won't invest in running it further up the road.


Openreach have had to open their ducts to other select providers, so on ducted estates (Like I imagine your's is KW), these select providers can quickly cover anyone in a road once they get their fibre presence to the estate (or road in your case).  So for me, I have Swish fibre and Gigaclear fibre running up the same duct to my house as the Openreach provided Zen and BT FTTC lines.

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. :-\
You need to consider your usage, and if you need upload. Sat may or may not be suitable. Sat also tends to be a bit jittery as well.

Essentially, synchronous full fibre is the best, but least available option, suitable for almost anything.

Next in preference is probably Openreach/Virgin FTTP options - downsides are generally low upload speeds, so not ideal for cloud storage, but mostly works well for gaming or work based VPNs.

Then Openreach FTTC options, especially non g.fast (which tends to suffer from dreadful uploads).  As per Openreach FTTP, only everything slower.  Virtually unusable for cloud storage, YouTube creators, and not ideal for gaming and VPNs, but usable.  VoIP can start to get impacted by heavy internet use,.

Mobile broadband is mostly for emergency use, or simple browsing and email.  If you can get 4G or 5G (note, very few European mobile providers actually provide 5G yet, most that do are stretching the truth) on a non congested cell, you may have more luck.  If you're rural, you may find the cell's standard "breathing" will bugger you up at busy times and drop the signal.  Poor for anything latency sensitive, including gaming and (ironically) VoIP.  Streaming may be intermittent (plus you may get a poor quality stream as the streaming provider sees a mobile IP)

Satelite īs generally last resort for those with no other options.  Awful latency (so unusable for gaming, telephony), and awful download/upload ratio making it poor for cloud storage.

ADSL can be usable still, for basic browsing/email, if you are near the exchange.



(All dependent on ISP and their restrictions - eg, Static IPs, filtering and parental controls, CGNAT and so on)

Come on, common as now. Even my Yeti has Zenon's that turn when you steer and at slow speed puts the spot light on to light kerb at a junction.
Yeah, but thats VAG, and the stupid foglight turn lights are built to burn retinas of oncoming drivers...   ...be it a Pisshat or a Yeti.  How dare other road users try to use the road ;D

Better them being "oncoming" than being stuck behind one. ;)

It was a company called Jurassic Fibre (no me neither) that installed ours, and I've only seen one house on our road get connected so far.

I don't think that they could have put the connection point in the pavement by my house in a worse place if they tried.  Same with the neighbours as well.  ::)
Ours is on the wall at the end of the small front gardens so, if you get connected, they have to bury the cable under the garden. Don't think I'd trust them to take up my block paving and put it back the same.
