Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

If you don't notice a change from 3.5mbps to 34mbps then either the device you are using has a bad wifi adapter or the TalkTalk wifi hub is a piece of ****.

You should also contact them about getting poor connection in bad weather and the glitches.

 

I don't think it got great reviews, but nevertheless, I quite enjoyed that series. Is there going to be a series 2 I wonder?

 

Think it's coming fairly soon actually.

 

Basically it's a tenner on top of what I pay. Feels like an unnecessary extravagance.

 

What do you pay for net? Nothing I guess...

 

Done all that. Left TalkTalk because of their dreadfull (no, really, really dreadfull) service and restictive traffic shaping. I installed a replacement router for their awful thing, improved wireless speeds. The router supplied by SE is actually a rather good ac thingy, I wasted £110 on a replacement because I assumed it would be pants. I also (slightly illegally) installed new top grade BT wiring from where it enters our house. I also use 500mbps Homeplugs for the media centre and Sky now box. All improves things a little but the real problem is we're right at the limit of being able to get fibre at all and BT, TalkTalk, Sky and SE have all offered a gallic shrug to any complaints.

For what it's worth Sky were the best provider, didn't seem to traffic shape, reasonable customer service, but as we don't take sat tv anymore . . . . . . . .

Broadband, the only thing you're asked to sign a 18month contract for before you know how much / how well it will work!

 

Yeah the wifi is free. I have SkyTalk.

 

I was lucky. Before I got Sky Fibre I had Orange as I got it cheap with my work at the time. Their net is the worst of the worst, I couldn't even connect my Playstations by wifi as it wouldn't recognise them. When I complain and said I wanted it out, they tried saying I had to pay £300 contract costs. I complained to Ofcom and within 2 days Orange phoned me saying they would cancel my contract for free.

 

If you only use the net for searching and forums etc. Normal internet is fine.

 

Apparently my monthly use is 94gb!!? I'm guessing that's mainly downloading films from SkyHD but I was surprised.

 

Yeah it's surprising how much is used on very little. I have Sky Q, so get the UHD movie channels soon. Glad I have unlimited...

 

Meh! I got married and signed a life time contract, with no idea how well it would work, or how much it would cost!!

 

I have that to come. Can't wait....

 

Ooh ... You got news you sly dog?

 

Well been with her long enough to at least get engaged .... I guess...

 

You are?
You have?
You will be?

Congratulations??

 

Aah who said romance was dead..........

 

I'm messing about and I will be.

 

You're going to have to change your name from Beefy to Soppy

 

Congratulations Beef. For what it's worth judging someone's demeanour off a forum only, but she's bagged herself a good man too.
