Great news mate. See I told you it would be easy ;). Just dont send my a message when you cant get Sky BB working lol, only joking you will be fine :)

Openreach are the engineers as its their network, BT are just a CP. There has to be spare pairs (1 line) at your DP (usually on top of the telegraph pole) which then the engineer will take a new line from the DP to your house and fit a new NTE5 (master socket) where required, well sometimes lol...

Cool, just seen my uncles house in Brisbane :)...

f**k off you called him back lol

When can we expect prices, options etc....?

I was set on a new RS but this could throw my decision.

^ LOL indeed.

There are obviously going to be Vista haters and XP haters but for what you are going to be using the laptop for, Vista will be fine. I have been using Vista for years now and since the first few "problems" with certain programmes not working properly etc everything has been spot on...

Indeed :)

IMO I would just stick with Vista as I prefer the look and general use of the OS over XP. It is possible to format the HDD and install XP but as you have a new laptap that may not be wise if you ever had to claim anything under waranty. The choice soon will be Windows 7 over Vista ;)...

Looks abit to the right, or is this sorted now?

That front is shocking!

lol

If you ain't going to use the PS3 for gaming aswell then its pointless. Just get this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001DN1SP4/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Looks good mate, nice work :)

Yep thats it and as said above^^

I recently made the change to Usenet from my old and trusty private torrent site. Newsdemon - £12pcm, 20 SSL connections, Unlimted downloads. http://www.newsdemon.com/join-uk.php You get NewsRover for free :) Then just make a one off payment (£5) to NZBmatrix...

Dont bother with any of that Limewire shite. Your next step is torrents or even better would be to sign up to a news group :)

Not seen this before.

25 in my 197 lol

Sweet :)

That thinkbroadband site is working fine for me....

Ha-ha im sure they did lol. BT sucks ass lol

Glad you got it sorted mate. :) You can save even more by switching your line rental and calls to Sky aswell ;)....

This site is normally spot on. Maybe there server has an issue. Yeah file hippo is normally pretty good and so are the Microsoft servers. Any large files from these is a good way of speed testing.

Are you using torrents?? You wont max out your connection using public torrents sites so 500Kbps sounds about right.

Yes, download a large file from here http://www.thinkbroadband.com/download/ and monitor your speeds. Being connected via wireless will have an affect and so will how your router is connected to your phone line. Is it in the master socket?, do you have alot of extensions running off the master...

If you have Sky TV then yes you can save a packet on you BB, you can save even more if you go full LLU and switch your line rental and calls to them aswell :)

Well without knowing your exact line details it's hard to say what speed increase you will see if you go with Sky LLU. If you want you can PM your BT phone number and I can check my systems I have here at work. I am with Be which is part of O2 and both companies are highly rated for their...

LLU just means the ISP has their own equipment in the local exchange. LLU ADSL offers greater speeds. Take my Be connection I connect at 23.5Mbps DL and 1.3Kbps UL. Its a choice then between Sky LLU or O2 IP Stream which is the same type of connection you are on now but is better priced and...
