    I got severely burned on Sunday, but it's been raining again for most of today.

    According to the old ladies at my work though, we should be getting a heat wave, and you know how reliable old ladie's bunions are . . .

  • squapplesquapple

    I know the feeling. That 3 hours is my summer I think. My first post was a bit...well, sarcastic !

    bt are one of the worst, though, midget ;) try zen / eclipse / nildram (i'm currently with eclipse, but when if we move, i'm thinking of zen... heard good things)

    sun so far here - who knows, may get thunder again and i can shut this down and delve into my book again :)

    ta for the link chris

    22°C so far and not a single cloud in sight.

    Also to add to Chris' post about Zen, Eclipse - i highly recommend BeThere.co.uk. We have upto 24mb downloads here at work, with 1.5mb upload - the consumer product is £24.99 per month.

    And in answer to Greg, the weather turned shit just about the same time he arrived here at Fazyluckers :)

    Read into that what you will ;)

    chicken:fucking HOT here yesterday in Hamburg. 36° ! 111!!
    bah you people in your metrics

    36 to me in Farenheit says brrrrr cold winter.
    we're hovering around 99-101 F -or- 37/38 for you UK peeps.

    it's hot in the mile high city!

    101° to me is rosted :D

    thinkbroadband is where I got my 'TRUE' bandwidth reading from. Good sight Chris. I'll consider one those mentioned once my contract is up with bt.
  • francofranco
    edited 11:20PM
    Yes, nice link, sockly. Virgin - for the record, have absolutely crap customer service who insist that getting a third of the speed you are paying for is standard. WTF? "That is the case with all providers". My arse!
  • chrischris
    edited 11:20PM
    ^ actually, that is pretty much the case ;)

    up to 8mb!
  • middigitmiddigit
    edited 11:20PM
    yeah, the get ut clause - they can't promise premium service of 8mb and the further you are from the exchange the lower your speeds will be
  • chrischris
    edited 11:20PM
    i read a recent article in some PC mag that said a little less than 25% of consumers actually realise the advertised broadband speeds.
  • middigitmiddigit
    edited 11:20PM
    that's probably true
  • francofranco
    edited 11:20PM
    Well, we are getting something like 7MB for a 20MB deal, making it only slightly better speed than our original deal at a much higher price.
  • chrischris
    edited 11:20PM
    i get about 6.5 on an "up to" 8mb - i'm quite surprised at that. plus, they don't say a thing about the gagiggabytes of data throughput :D
  • MeskaMeska

    I love how this thread went from Weather to Bandwidth.
  • francofranco
    edited 11:20PM
    Not much has changed over the years, eh? ;)
  • zippiezippie
    edited 11:20PM
    Virgin are limiting speed of 20mb users on purpose! I have no proof of course and they are blaming 'local' isolated issues for the problem.

    I have a theory on the weather. I think you're all experiencing a Scottish summer. This isn't so strange up here.

    cool thunder and rainstorm overhead right now - swimming pools of water are washing down the street

    well, it was supposed to be4 heavy rain - been to my nanas funeral (god bless her soul) and it's been dry and pretty decent so far, i guess she put in her order for the weather :)

    Sorry to hear that Mid.

    And Blues, HOLY SHIT !! We are all pussies here in the UK
  • mickmick
    edited 11:20PM
    so DID the big rainstorm happen in the UK?

    i like those pics, blueshead. .. we've had wild weather. 3 days of heat, now rainy again. 2 days ago.. thunderstorms with "micro-bursts" ... big areas of fast downdwelling air. not organized in a funnel cloud (one was spotted).. but very powerful. enough to swamp boats and take down trees and remove roof parts.

    ps.. RIP middi's nana; i hope she had a full and interesting life. :)
