    Can only get 1mb broadband - alternatives?

    and is an 80ms ping supposed to be good? l Optical just posted a ping of 15 and I have just done a speedtest and got a ping of 10. So yes. It's got a worse latency. maybe you mis-understood my comments.. I am saying wireless and satellite both have worse latency when compared to a wired...

    Can only get 1mb broadband - alternatives?

    OP has said he plays online games, so wireless internet is a poor choice. Ignore the peak speeds, it's the latency that is important for gaming.

    Can only get 1mb broadband - alternatives?

    It's just satellite broadband, if any online gaming is to be enjoyable, I would avoid, it would actually be better on 1mb copper broadband due to the ping times/latency of the wireless connection being useless.

    BT SIM card

    You bought a product that you didn't want. Well done you for being a salesman's wet-dream. Instead of investigating the terms of the sim card that you agreed to fully in terms of allowances, you have just given it to your son. Then he gets a a text about the data limits but has "no interest in...

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    I always torrent. As once you have the movie, it's there for good. In better quality too. Then use XBMC as my media player/catalogue. Rather than most people's method of throwing it on a usb stick. (plus some tv's struggle with high bit-rate movies via usb stick)

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    so people use XBMC to "showoff" to their friends that they are up to date and cool? okay.. God damn XBMC hipsters. plus rather than stream a movie for your missus, clearly the better idea is to download a copy which would be better anyway. Then use XBMC for it's intended purpose to view the...

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    sometimes the internet issue is made worse by a wifi connection. My PI2 connected via ethernet works perfectly. However most of the time I use XBMC for it's intended purposes IE to catalog media etc.. that I have collected. I rarely watch streams on it to be fair.

    Amazon fire TV sticks

    Kodi is an amazing media centre. If you install Ivue you get all live streams for all channels including sports etc.. with a really sleek interface. Don't understand what is not to like? I prefer to use a raspberry pi 2, due to a wired network port plus a better processor with more memory. If...

    Best way to hide TV cables?

    ^^ IMO if you are going to put a tv on a wall. then cables need hiding properly and trunking on the wall is the pikey option.

    Best way to hide TV cables?

    my wall was plasterboard, so i created some boxes and mounted them inside the wall itself. Even made one for the phone socket, router etc.. with a wine rack (the girlfriend wanted it, despite it being MY flat) I then ripped off my skirting boards and made speaker terminals in every corner of the...

    Samsung TV problems 18 months in..Where do I stand?

    you should have a 12 month manufacturer warranty, which has now expired. So hopefully you had something past that from the retailer. Hence the reason I ALWAYS buy tv's through john lewis. 5 year warranty on every tv.

    Lepsons Alloy Wheel Refurbishers - Kent

    I dealt with Lepsons over a year ago and to say they were unprofessional is putting it kindly. I Ended up using KAP tyres (also in Kent) and the finish was superb (cheaper too).

    Vtec kicked in

    i was making the point that both cars are fairly similar in terms of total torque. torque curve however is a tad different. Saying that, no-one who buys a 172/ep3 is getting one for the masses of torque.
