nice one LLL - don't think we'll get it for ages. Mind you, the main sewer came down this little valley, far sooner than expected. Anyone wanna buy a virgin Klargester. Buyer collects. It's in situ.
Comes complete with lovely pea-shingle surround.
Here's mine - slightly un-typical, norally getaround 4.8ish.

I get 0.46Mb/s - pitiful! It's supposed to be upgraded to "up to 8Mb/s" but it's nowhere near that.
The annoying thing is that the cable thingy stopped a mile and a quarter from the south side of the village and 2.5miles from the north side. There's 12,000 people in this so-0called "village": wouldn't you think they'd join up the two cables and give us access to a decent service? Less than 4 miles of cable for a potential 12,000 customers mustn't be enough of an attraction for them.

although i have to use my mates smtp server to continue using my old lineone email address i have had for 12 years
have to say BT customer service is crap compared to zen who were outstanding ,but the net is all about speed
the need for speed
