General Discussion Area / Whats your Up Speed (ISP)
« on: 02 October 2016, 19:11:36 »
Im interested in knowing what other people are getting and with Who?, this is for my info, so try and keep it real, rather than posting up a mines bigger then yours type reply. 
Im currently on BT at Home (up to 17mb tariff, get about 10 Download on average) and get a real crappy 0.8Mbs up, on average. Thinking about going for Fibre, poss 38Mbs tariff, which has an advertised up to 10Mbs up, but I know a few folk who are getting around 1 to 3 Mbs up so not big improvement there.
I tend do a lot of Cloud stuff and File Uploads work wise, and have access to Mobile Data as well, can do around 8Mbs Up just on 3+G or around 20Mbs Up on 4G but it eats my data allowance.

General Discussion Area / WhatsApp User?, but not a FaceBook Fan, you might want to read this.
« on: 19 September 2016, 01:59:43 »
So, the Add Free and so called Privacy of the original WhatsApp has been bought by Facenoobs, nothing new there, that was some time ago, however, the new Terms and Conditions of WhatsApp, which you may have already accepted by using the the App, I mean who reads T&C's these days, means the TwitFace can now share your Personal Data, unless you've ticked the 'Dont do it' Box.
So, potentially, FuukBook can share your personal info, sell on, or in anyway as they see fit, and, or worse case your so called private info, contacts, messages etc, could end up plastered all over FaceFook without your knowledge.
Remedy - In WhatsApp go to Settings, select Account, Share my account info and tap on Dont Share. And do it now, because times running out as they may remove this option in the near future.

General Discussion Area / Some people have all the luck - Windows Phone.
« on: 15 September 2016, 20:12:50 »
One of my Sons has decided he now want to try a WinPhone, having had Andrioid and iPhone etc, dont ask, I dont know. Anyway hes put around hes interest and low and behold, someone at work has said 'I ve got one, never used it, you can have it for Beer, doesn't work though, Sim Tray is jammed'
So, days later I get handed a Lumia 925 to potential fix, looks brand new, box, charger etc, but has spent most of its life in a cupboard. And sure enough the Sim Tray is jammed tight, first thoughts where to say to Son, just use as a Wifi Tablet, but the returned look I got back was. you haven't even looked at it yet.
Today I decided to investigate, watched a YouTube on how to take one apart, and within mins I had the back off and was soon pulling bits apart, and sure enough I could see the jammed Sim in there, having kind of worked out how it should slide out, with the help od some tooth picks, tweezers, thin cardboard. paper etc, I managed to get the Tray out and what looked at first like the wrong Sim size in there.
Having got the Sim out, turned out it wasn't a Sim at all, but a 128gb SanDisk Extreme micro SD Card.
Put the Phone back to together, thinking probably wouldn't work again, phone works fine, Networked unlocked, good for 4G, and the SD Card was a worker as well.

General Discussion Area / Check your Free OneDrive Storage allowance.
« on: 18 August 2016, 18:49:32 »
AS most know the free 30gb (15gb + 15gb Camera roll) free OneDrive Storage was under threat late last year to be reduced down to a mere 5Gb per user, then MS changed there minds, then they un changed it again, and said existing users will keep what the have, then they changed there minds again, and then issued a official link where you can keep your allowance if you sign up to do so. blah, blah, blah.
Anyway despite all this, it seems quiet a few people with either 15 or 30gb have now been reduced down to the 5gb since last week. So best you check yours, and see if youve lost your allowance or more to the point any Data you had stored on there..

General Discussion Area / Chinese Cloud Storage - Get your Data back now.
« on: 17 July 2016, 20:21:40 »
Just a quick note, if anyone has Data or important Files on any Chinese Cloud Providers I would suggest you Download and recover your Files now before they get deleted.
A lot of CN Cloud providers are being forced to shut down or change the way they are offering their Services outside of China by the Chinese Government this year, some are already in the process of being closed, given notice of Closure (normally in Chinese) or will just cease to operate over the next few months.
