I had a look at the kcom website when I read a few of the prices mentioned on here. You're really being stitched on pricing by not being/having been able to shop around- Vodafone would give me 500Mbs/£30 ,910Mbps/£45. In the absence of fibre options, I'd definitely be looking into a 5g router if there's coverage.
Large areas of Hull are without the internet as KCOM's systems are down. Many shops are 'cash only'. How very novel, yet totally reliable The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I don't want my Internet to work. Mz Kempton got me 'The Who at BBC on vinyl. Absolutely astounding listening... I'd go see but they're older than I am now...
It's not that reliable since hardly anyone carries cash any more, which is why those businesses will be desperate to get their internet connection back up asap so they stop losing out on business.
Mines been off since about 10 today, and I can honestly say it’s the first time mines ever gone down, **** all works in the house now, boiler thermostat, cameras, Sky Q, me frigging dodgy stick, Alexas, lazy bastard WiFi sockets. You forget how much you rely on t’inernet now
Glad Mines running ok otherwise my dodgy stick wouldn't be working either. Never watched so much footie and sports since i've had the stick.
Hard effing luck to those don't carry cash, I do and was able to use it at the shops earlier today. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I don't leave home without my phone. With which I make all my electronic payments. And a debit card in case my phone battery runs out. And a credit card for if my bank card is refused. And cash in case all electronic transactions fail. And shiny beads for any post-apocalyptic, bartering type situations. And a gun in case everything has gone totally tits up. Prepping. It's basic commonsense really.
on the question of cash, any and all moves for any country to become cashless must be resisted. cashless societies are such a bad idea that i consider the notion to be nothing less than evil, nothing less than attempts by repressive political rulers to exert more control over a population. we can't let it happen.
Well it’s not happening so stopping ****ting your pants. It’s a choice people make, not a dictat from some higher force.
i'm not asterisking my pants, but don't go thinking there won't be attempts to make it happen somewhere. if you think there are not "higher forces" around that want to try it, you are wrong. the wef and ccp are two examples not above trying it.
