Rural Kent - VFast Orbital

I lived in the outskirts of a major town in Kent, Ashford, I upgraded my 2mb line to "up to 8mb" I too found my broadband dropped to 0.5 if I was lucky and often dropped off the face of the internet.

If you can get vfast orbital, get it. I used this for over a year, and can confirm the experience I had was great, it was around £25 per month, but I didn't need a BT line, so I made a saving that way; cost of installation at the time was around £100. In fact the only reason I switched back to BT was because they promised FTTC was coming in the April, I wanted to be ready so switched over in March, a year later I finally had BT inifinity, which is moderately fast broadband. not 40mbps but a close 25-30mbps.

I would have gone for Cable, but that was only installed at the bottom of the hill I lived on so I couldn't get it.

Keith or Dave

Please don't call it "Keith",

or "Dave" after Rodney,

as I would be compelled to purchase something from them.

I'd also pick "Je ne Regrette Rien" followed by "I can't get no satisfaction" and "why are we waiting" as their on hold music for customer services.

I wouldn't need a ringtone, as no service, no calls.

3D camera?

Are you sure the playstation eye is a 3D camera, I always thought you needed 2 lenses to achieve 3D.

Angry bird? she was fuming....

4 yo bought Angry birds on wife's iphone, he had asked for a free app prior to purchase, (after password is requested there is then a period where you can pick up any app without entering a password, this is limited, but obviously not fool proof. ) Fortunately for me, it was 59p and one that I liked, and was sitting on the fence prior to purchasing, the option to disable in app purchases isn't a great one, unless the iphone/ipod/ipad is 100% for kids use. but as he asked for the free app before hand i'm pretty sure he knew how this app store worked better than her.

Called for PAC tonight

Ok, after reading that i'm ready to defect to anyone offering an unlimited data plan.

Called up for my PAC; I'm guessing I'm not the only one either, as the annoyance of the customer service representative for dealing with another iphone PAC code defector was very evident.

I was told that "all operators are under contract to provide the same data conditions with Apple" I find this very difficult to believe. Well on the off chance I have my PAC code ready to order with whoever brings out their iphone unlimited data plan first. Alternatively I switched to simplicity iphone. They say anyone keeping their phone, or not changing their contract can maintain their unlmited data. So I for one am expecting either a data plan or, i'll be camping outside the apple shop for an unlocked phone and keep my simplicity plan.

non service is too good for em,

In future, any customers who act in this childish way will be asked to behave properly or will be refused service.

He concluded: "Let common tradition and common sense prevail." ®

Stone em ... surely that's a common tradition....

I can see it now,

All I said was this spotted dick was good enough for jahovah ...

ooh he said it again ...

carbon offsetting?

If we ship out all our global carbon output, we can soon turn that climate on it's head ... everybody burn more fuel!!!

As a Console connoisseur my 2c

I have not played GTA IV on the PS3; I did play GTA IV on the 360 for about an hour; and my main concern wasn’t the resolution; nor was it the excitement of smashing up my newest girlfriends’ car; without her even mentioning the event or yelling at me (something only achievable in the gaming world). It was the fact that I’ve played this game before … again and again and again … GTA was the only original game .. running down those Hare Krishna’s; There was just something cool about it. (I have not felt the need to run down a group of Hare Krishna’s in real life).

In reality if you have friends and they have a console; it’s probably the 360; if you don’t have any friends they would probably have a PS3.

I have all 3; (I Think I have friends, they all have 360’s; I thought said friends would come round and play; so I bought a Wii; turns out in fact I have no friends, so I bought a ps3.)

Network gaming is a real pain in the ass when it comes to the PS3 it’s great if you have no friends, as joining a random online is painless. But if you want to talk to them, or invite them to your game, it’s not going to happen; unless you and they are out of a game; or you give them a call and arrange it; harks back to PC days.

The 360, you are always online, in game, in movie (if you wish), you can invite or be invited to the game you or they are playing, and you can message in game, or chat in game.

Storage is another issue, 20GB (120GB if your lucky) or 40GB (bear in mind it’s simple to swap out the PS3 hard drive and slot in a 320GB baby no such luck with the 360).

In Essence don’t buy a console on the strength of a game that being said I bought a PS3 because I could import Rock Band before the UK got it; On the other other hand I did play WiiFit last night with some friends, and that was pretty good fun.

which of the spy sats is more of a spy sat, the spy sat or the spy sat watching the spy sat.

Defense of impossibility?

In the US he could have a defense to attempt or conspiracy to commit, of impossibility lets face it; it's not possible to kill Chuck Norris, so this kid is only guilty of stupidity....

He should be put in charge of education in Kansas .. .he'd get rid of Creationism, and instill norrisism

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

@fanboi w

is that all u can say about the sony offerings?

Love it or loath it, Sony's simple PS3+BluRay+PSP combo is a compelling and attractive straight-up consumer electronics proposition for many. Often wrapped in agreeable product design.

Sony = John Lewis?

blu ray = why the games don't require it; I will however be purchasing it primarily as a blu ray player, now my HD-DVD is soon to be obsolete

games are expensive; for the same technology as the 360, in some cases the games I have seen on the 360 and ps3 are smoother on the 360

sony = late why oh why oh why does nothing ever come out on time over here? and why does that time lapse / atlantic divide cost us financially too?

sony media centre = still not a patch on xbmc

I don't love xbox, in fact microsoft as a whole; but man am I addicted to those achievement points

and angelic BG cos of his millions of dollars he gives to those who need it more infinately than he you or I; but please if you do have too much please send some my way; (name and address supplied)

I'm am completely shocked,

A sun reader could operate any form of electronic device in order to set up any form of fraud, I bet that's the angle Clarkson was aiming for.....
