h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

t'other week, Plusnet my ISP said that the exchange I get my broadband via, was updating stuff and I'd get higher speeds at no extra costat the moment I'm now getting 11033/883 instead of around 8000/600don't know if it'll go up any more ?
but they also said that fibre-optic is now available (but at extra monthlyI don't need that)I'm happy with what I've got for £14.95 per month

Hiya, thats not bad for copper cable. I get an average 15mb's wireless and slightly more wired. We have BT Infinity avaiable in this area now but the price will have to come down a lot before I even think about it. Happy with what I've got for now anyway.

I'll mail you the letter (when I find it lol)but as I don't download films etc, I've no need for fibre-optics

I don't download films or play multi-player online games either so no real need for faster speeds. Besides, on this ancient pc it would be pointless anyway as the processor and ram are too small to benefit from higher speeds anyway.

I've just had to curtail son, his mate put sky film thingy on his xbox, I got a email that my monthly allowance was nearly used (I've got a 15gig limit on it) and it's rare that I use that amount, so it keeps my monthly cost down

Ah, thats not good. I'm on unlimited but then I took the top package for the lot, TV, broadband, telephone.
It means I can also use BT openzone and BT Fon when out and about with the laptop for free as well.

last time he was at home, I raised it to 20gig. But after "showing" him that streaming a film IS using broadbandhe now doesn't watch them

The most I do is watch music videos on u-tube now and then.

I'm calling it a day now mate, looks like I'll have some journals to catch up on tomorrow so I'll see you about then.

see you later ST ok - sleep well mate

Hi Prof, just bringing this back up from the depths.
The journal a day campaign seems to have pushed stuff into near oblivion.

I know, but after I have a quick squint at a jurno entry, I unsub from it - because I can't keep track of my usual threads I natter in - it's not done out of disrespect to anyone of course

I see your professorial attributes have been immortalised here.

cool eh!an OBE next I reckon

Hows that cough/chest infection? Have the Uncle-biotics done the trick?

last lot of antibiotics tomorrow, things have lessened very slightly. So it looks like I might be phoning for another appointment for next week.
There's a few folk I've spoke to in the last few days and THEY have all got the same symptomsie: cough/mucus evacuation and on anti' courses
2 weeks and 4 days long tomorrow

second appointment made for doc's Tuesday afternoon

how you get into pliny ?
do you delete brunel and write pliny - in the top h2g2.com bit ?

No, not quite. The techs will post a proper link when they're happy for all to be there. Currently its undergoing testing at all levels and what they don't want/need right now is a mass migration to it before its ready.

cheers ST

Hiya Prof, not sure about Ofcom wanting BT to sell off stuff, it's more to do with what BT charges other companies to use/piggyback off their network that Ofcom are dealing with. They've told BT to cut the cost to some while upping prices for others. BT have spent a small fortune on getting live Premier football rights. Got news for them, I won't be taking any any extra channels for chuffin football. I'll stick with what I've got which gives me the cricket, not interested in owt else and certainly not the Olympic nonesense we're being bombarded with.
Reet, off to set up me virtual PC on this beast. I'll be able to play me older games then.
Catch ya later.
