Still, I am jealous of the granny in Sweden who's techie grandson installed a 1Gb line to her house a few years ago. I seem to remember reading that she could download a full HD film in 7 seconds.

 

Hmmm, I love these sort of statements.

 

So, she can download a full HD film in 7 seconds...........whether it's 7 seconds, 7 minutes or an hour, still takes the same amount of time to watch. :D

Anyway, whilst we're making people feel bad about their internet speeds.......

 

 

That'll do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now.

Show off!

Can we please have a 'Hate this' selection on forum posts? Lol!

:P

 

 

 

Suppose that will do

:p

Thats at home is it?

Probably, as Ookla says my server is London! Something fishy going on methinks........

I don't quite see the relevance, the taxes you pay are for any roads that you may use, not just motorways.

Incidentally, motorways aren't necessarily the quickest roads to drive on either, the M25 during rush hours being a case in point!

That was only an example but the point is that lots of things are priced at a "flat rate" but we don't all benifit from the same level of service. Phone calls - I pay a standard rate but 3g is non existent, postal charges, TV licence - I can only get BBC ( and that's fuzzy) via a terestial signal) etc etc -etc

How come you switched to BT infinity rather than just upgrading your sky product?

That was too good to be true, the phone works but the phone does not ring when people call. I can however answer the call if I know someone is calling at that time. Looks like the ringer voltage is not being applied to the line, so now on hold to BT faults hoping to arrange for an engineer to fix it. I can of course phone out with no problem at all.

 

The internet is still flying, getting 76meg on wired connection, so very happy with that.

 

I might be a bit late to the party as this was over a week ago, but try plugging your phone in via an old ADSL microfilter if you have one. That will apply a ring current.
