Yes but I don't think we should count Orange users

I like the idea of the boost button but not at £1 for 30 mins!

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 15:35:04

I don't know, Lance. From 32Mbps, I'd only see using it occasionally, so it wouldn't be too bad a price.

The real downside is that, you have to live in Wembley. *shudder*

Think i'll stay where i am and wait for 21cn, that'll do me.

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 16:08:06

Wembley was OK, once.

David · Feb 11, 2009, 16:18:02

"cue the music" Dont get around much anymore

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 16:21:43

This is true.

David · Feb 11, 2009, 16:26:26

I think its a good thing really I cant think why you would need this speed ?

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 16:48:56

It depends on how much you download, David, if you want to watch TV via the 'net, for example, it's ideal.

David · Feb 11, 2009, 16:53:56

Oh Ok , I come on to get away from the TV

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 16:56:16

A lot of people seem to like to watch Tv online, David. I really don't understand why but...

David · Feb 11, 2009, 17:05:28

Mad if you ask me,I can understand it for games perhaps,but to watch TV ? Im amazed still wahtever sails your boat I guess

Rik · Feb 11, 2009, 17:11:43

I'm with you, David, there are perfectly adequate systems for TV transmission and recording, so why use precious bandwidth...

Lance · Feb 11, 2009, 22:59:52

The only good thing is iplayer when you don't have any other means of recording from a normal tv stream.

Rik · Feb 12, 2009, 11:08:31

Sky+ works well for me.

trophymick · Feb 12, 2009, 11:18:34

There was a rumour that BT (bless em) was throttling broadband service, so those with the TV package could have the tap on full, in order to watch telly on the net

They (ISP's) should sort out the service for ALL users before offering tosh

Me as well, and my laptop has freeview built in so thats a bonus but as David said i get online to avoid TV unless its to watch the iplayer or a similar service to catch up upon that I have not got in my sky planner, since clashes do occur its can be useful.

If they want TV on their PC/laptop invest in SlingBox, a one off payment, allows TV on any/all PC's/Laptops in the house and uses zero bandwidth.

quandam · Feb 27, 2009, 19:09:59

Re above post.

An added advantage of 'SlingBox' is there is no need to pay £10.00 ( X by No of rooms) per month for Sky's extra boxes. Slingbox is a great way to get all channels (Sky) in every room in the house (via wireless laptop/PC).

Slingbox can save you a fortune.
