    o2 broadband

    Been on o2 for about 4 weeks now after being on sh*tty orange bb. Always had issues with broadband over my line and im a far way from the exchange (4km or so). Still got issues with it but o2 support have been fantasic, call centre is based in Scotland instead of the usual India and all calls...

    Rubbish From Neighbours Skip Damages Car

    We had a tile blew of a shop roof and hit our car last year, their insurance paid up for that. I'd get a load of photos of every angle first, maybe even video of the area on your phone or camera. If they still deny its their fault the simply let your solicitors know.

    Be broadband

    If your with Orange this is actually true. Orange were the worst ISP I have ever dealt with.

    Be broadband

    I've had 3.4mb max on my line on an 'upto 8mb' line. However, this was with Orange and before i cancelled it had dropping to 1.0mb all the time. I assummed that ADSL2+ would boost the signal somehow thus giving me a faster speed based on a maximum of 24mb. Obviously this is wrong so I either...

    Be broadband

    Just rang them, apparently on the 24mb unlimited package I will get a maximum download speed of 2mb - yes that says 2mb !. (4Km from the exchange). BT website says 3mb max on an 8mb line I really thought on a 24mb ADSL2+ line I would get 10mb+ Dont you just love BT and their cabling :(...

    bt internet speed test period....

    This is interesting. Last year I nobbed them off because I was getting 3.5mb nearly all the time. Then for no reason at all it went to exactly 1mb like it had been capped or something ?? Been with ntl/virgin for 12 month now, not a single outage and the speed that I pay for all the time.

    Home networking with wall-plugged ethernet devices

    Cheers Daz. Same at the house, the wireless connection is going through 3 walls and is really poor, almost unusable. My only concern is speed, because none of them seem to do what they say on the box. I guess my only option is to buy some kit and give it a go. The netgear HD kit is really...

    How rubbish are 02?

    I'm trying to get a group pac code from o2 at the moment. They are a f*king nightmare. We spend best part of £10k per annum and they treat us like this. Just shot themselves in the foot because i wont ever be going back to them! Utter sh*te!

    182 or CTR?

    Drive both, that will help you make up your mind. I drove both 3 years ago and bought a 182. The main factor for buying the 182 was that it was £4k cheaper brand new and full of bells and whistles. Had that 18 month but the shocking dealerships, annoying rattles and warrenty work ultimately did...

    Need some new software...cheapest place?

    Could be worth looking on EBay in the US. I got a copy of brand new full retail sealed Windows 2003 Server for about 40% less than it is here. Ive had another retail version of something, could be adobe acrobat that was again 30-40% cheaper. Obviously doing it this way could take some time...

    Microsoft's Black Screen of Death - Vista..

    I'm dual booting with 2 drives. I started with XP and then installed Vista, i had to unplug the XP drive because the first time around it messed with the boot files and XP wouldnt boot. Then i used the VistaBootPro software which worked a treat.

    My mum has been waiting 8 weeks for her line in a new shop / new business. The previous occupants had 3 BT lines which they cancelled. Rang something like 10-15 times now, each time gets put on hold or passed from pillar to post or cut off. She has had to have all the signs done now with just...

    Nvidia 7600GT 256mb ddr3 AGP

    Have a read of this .... http://www.trustedreviews.com/graphics/review/2006/06/21/Inno3D-7300-GT-vs-Sapphire-X1300/p2 I used the ati tool, seems very safe and you can create profiles. So if your not playing games just flip it back to stock.

    Nvidia 7600GT 256mb ddr3 AGP

    Got the same but a 7300, used the ati tool to overclock it, upped the core and mem 20% very easily (600/800). Plays most games quite nicely.
