Not at the time  ;D

We do download fair bit of stuff, but takes us ages before we watch films, had Fury downloaded for weeks before we could watch it.

Little MissT does not fall asleep until midnight some nights, so no time for war films.

Going to switch to Sky ADSL, get that free with work. (+ loads free calling packs) only pay line rental. If not enough will upgrade to Sky Fibre, but even for staff there is a small fee for now  :(

When I signed up to BT, it was £20/m, silly me did not read small print.  18 months later it's £48/m is bit rich just for Internet and phone.

Now switching to my freebie Sky, although BT don't know that, they've not tried to keep me. Just sent a letter about switching process, no offering me a deal  :-\

Was it raining? Had this for years until I got a human who understood it was a water fault. Now fixed (until next time!)

My Sky broadband is about to go fibre :y

FTTC more like  :y

Well... Yes... But it will increase my speeds from 1.5 Meg on a good day to around 18 Meg :y Might be able to play Mariokart properly!! Ooooh... Not had a decent game for ages!!
You'll have a job, the Mario Kart Wii servers were shut down over a year ago.

Been on to sky. No need for threats or unpleasantness, they will check everything out and get back to me.

Well. It hasn't dropped out for a week now, so something has been done.
