Have you thought about getting something fun, like a little hot hatch or something Rog?
Y'know something that puts a smile on your face when you get in it?

Hmmm maybe I should have saved that one for Easter Sunday? 
This one's probably more appropriate for Good Friday!

If I have fibre installed, they'll have to dig under my garden wall, through a flower bed, dig a trench across the drive and through another flower bed to the house.
Had they put the connection point a meter up the pavement they could have gone through the gateway avoiding the wall and flower bed.
Frickin jackasses!

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.

My Renault 5 did 60 in second, and had a fabulous tilt when going round a corner or roundabout at speed!

« on: 28 March 2024, 20:52:33 »I thought the Paddy's had been digging all the cables in around Your neck of the woods me Lud, kept getting delayed by trench digging along the road.
Our road and pavements were dug up last year for fibre. Romanians I think, maybe Albanians.
Proper shoddy job as well. They didn't seal the edges of the trench backfill so if we get a proper cold hard icy winter it'll soon start breaking up.
Thank God for climate change!

« on: 28 March 2024, 17:51:48 »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
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
Yeah OK I'm a bit behind the times with broadband speeds and prices.
The cost has come down massively in the last couple of years.

« on: 28 March 2024, 17:10:28 »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.I've seen them advertise deals with refurbished kit, so keep your eye out.
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?

Ah yes I forgot about Opti Towers!
