So there basically asking the UK to buy there car booty as the owners have run out of money.

Why do apparently so many stil have issues!?

2014-2015

Virgin, DSL, 20mbps,

was fine, went to upgrade to FTC but they no longer provided broadband in my area, sign up with someone else...

2015+

Nr Basingstoke, Hampshire

Plusnet

FTC at 80mbps

connects at 79+

I get and use every nibble of it

I really don't get why I keep on hearing about all these issues, everyone I know, even my dad in a little village miles from anywhere that use to struggle to get 2mb 2 years ago is now blasting away on 10mbps+

I understand people can get 100mbps with ease, our speeds are only slow when compared to Googles rollout

this is far from news anymore.

Just got the HTC 530, was a toss up between the P9 and 530, I went for the 530 as I have had a HTC before and very impressed.

P9, car phone warehouse is doing a deal on these at the moment £150

(yer cheap phone but will do until the new CAT smart ones are out)

hmm

Are they really putting the effort in though, after all, when people have a problem, what do they do.. search about it, searching these days is a term also used for 'collecting user information'

So the link someone clicked on that got made available through facebook creates an issue. the user searches Google for an answer, data collection galore.

All they are annoyed about is there ads arnt the ones getting attention, that's like spam sender becoming an official company, still sending out spam but saying tut tut to everyone else doing it

My Dad

So one day, Me dad calls me saying he has just had a call from Microsoft,

Oh no, I am thinking, wha have you done dad.

Turns out me dad let the bloke run off all the speil...giving the impression he was really glad MS had called him and how devastated he was the he may be running non license software.

As dad was telling me the story I am think, no just no , why did you go along with this dad!?

couldn't stop laughing when me dad turned to the 'MS' guy on the end of the phone and said, " so all this dodgy software you say I am running, oh no, please remote in and help me, is your remote remote program Mac compatible.

lol craked me right up.

Annoys me sooo much

Why the hell do people in a standard job (PAYE) get arse f****d by all these people going around contacting making all this extra money from tax avoidance and the gov is happily helping them along.

So because I work a standard permanent IT support job in the NHS, all these contractors I am working with are being payed more, know less then me, more attentive to their social life when in work

and when they go one a bigger wod of cash in their pocket.

'Copywrite' unts.

Basically, an advert.

Where and how do people get the money and time to carry out these stupid tests!?

surly a better test would be to get a phone to ring thats not their tone... i dont care if someone elses phone is ringing or was it just the fact that a phone was ringing!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

tell me

TELL ME!?

and i bet no admin rights are needed to install just like all the other google downloads.

BLOODY annoying to administrate (and before people mention blocking or firewalls, I work for the NHS - talk to a brick wall unless your sucking off some big boss or its an outside contractor getting payed a sh1t load for wasting money and not know what there doing)

Asus make routers!??

but cant supply a mobo for a product only 1 year old (cheers, not)

Draytek all the way.

So everyone reading this post is like, yeh, douch, learn how to use a PC, get with the times.

they are right.

Writer needs to know his audience.

and... the legal bit is only required on external emails, so the last hop as it leaves work, put on by exchange.

Exclaimer. nobs work there, unless you pay big money bugs are ignore but the products are good.

Biggest waste ever

was the Slate i got.

The apps are just awful

15% of my android apps have a MS cousin, the rest are no where to be seen.

So, yeh, go ahead and make stuff for other people but not your own product range.

Update your wordpress

they got me with that about 2 years ago, one click plugin update and the whole was covered....

but , this is seriouse......

Dam you karaf timetables!!!!

So the boss of HSB needs arresting...

as My NHS income goes to my Pot dealer, payed in BACS, out in Cash....

same thing innit....

orignal house, 4mb between midnight and 10am, outside that you cant get past 14kbspeeds.

first house, moved 5 miles down the road. 20MB dsl2.

2 years later i am sitting at 8.9mb down on FTCC.

I cant compain.

Basic mistake

with the Tweet apparently sent from an **iPhone** as the Queen pressed an ungloved finger to the royal **iPad**.

**iPad and iPhone are 2 diffrent devices...

U2 and apple

So Bono (or Boner - being short for Di*****d) is all about world piece, against hunger, slavery and all that.

So why is he wanting to even be seen close to Apple, surely this is a complete contradiction of what he is going for

Basically a toll road

The difference is we already pay through the information we provided to these services.

The name needs to be changed to, (reno911 comes to mind);

So we are petitioning for the net-neutrality law NOT to go through???

I pay £140 a year to sometimes watch the news every couple of days and eastenders 2 or 3 times a month.

Stuff that actually appeals to me or is relivant to my life is aquired through other means.

abit pricey, Flexraid and Green WD's with some SAS cards and an ML110G5 from the day and i can pull 3 HD streams with no issues atall, 3 of us in the house, no sky or cable tv. All goooood :)

yer its not massive or superspeed but just like the guy who said about the Ferrari , it does me fine...

I dont know why i was so shocked when my lodger told me his new job was to poll the VirgimM routers every 10 minutes for every requet that goe down teir line , (yeh i knew that bit but)......also one of his daily tasks were to pull the info from your Tivo box's;

What is being watched

what has been watched since last pull

how long each channel

what that channel and program was

adverts skipped

adverts watched

How you skip between channels

times of day you watch

consistancys make money.

i seriously beleive that they will make these devices not show adverts unless you are 'infront watching it' or it just goes into a sleep mode and then plays the ads when your back.

after that they will be sensors inside.

all this to sell your data/info on. My slightly OCD anti controll/higher order / dickheads in business world hating me is really not liking all this Big data thing

let me pay you for the TV i want to watch, i dont give a hoot about downton abbey or that crap.

I will give the companys £XXX a year not to be tracked traced, audited and for none of this crap tv

dont get me started on road tax!!!!!!!! AARRHHHH

if i did buy it, can i get an instant refund when i dont like.....

stop producing repetative crap then.

At the moment i pay £1XX what ever it is to watch the news and eastenders when i can be bothed a couple of times a week thats it.

No workaholics on BBC

People just do nothing is just 4 episodes....

i dont care about these crappy reality shows, cooking, dancing, badger and all that

Give me 5thgear everyday or topgear (TG, before it stated this entertainment lark, Oi go back to 15 years ago when the Sub' P1 owners club was in the studio with like 20 people and LOADS of FACTS and INFO!!!)

all the music these days is shit, 1 track of an album maybe ok.

in the last 15 years i have paid for both Adele's. - that is all.

why should i spend my hard earned money to pay and watch somthing once. and then have to pay again to watch it again.

My TV collection is only about 5TB but growing of the stuff that I want to watch, and watch again.

I dont want a Tivo that analysis what i watch, when i watch it, if i skip brakes, what i looking at the internet for the same time i am watching tv.....

you could say , ah har, but this is how they find out what i want. no because even then they will chuck in a load of crap that i dont want to make somthing i do appealing, but then that means i am only giving them say 1% for somthing i do want and then 99% for something i dont. Give me 100% of what i want for 100% of my costs.

Music people = stop pushing out the same olf crap over and over

Films = we arnt that dumb that when you change a title or remoake a film from 10 years ago we dont see it as complety diffrent, its still the same!!!!

Tv= i pay my licence and all they give me is crap back

so now it costs me for a half decent internet connection and my own security to view what i want when i want.

the day i go back to legal is the day i pay £xxx for a years access to exactly what i want and no more.

put the place name in tht title if its not in the UK

theregister.co.uk.......

.co.uk being the point...

another router doesnt make a diff....

Draytek 2820, told to use google's DNS

Windows domain, DHCP says use WinDNS, winDNS says use referance Google or a private one.

ANY DNS request that goes up my line, Virgin Media steps in.

Buying a new router wont help.

VPN it

I am moving to Plusnet anyway.

Another company that is contributing to make this world a little bit more sh*t every day

So basically they are saying after the test a month or so ago

they have 20 banks that failed it

and the problems is...?

So the french goverment want to know what is sent and received by its own employees......

fair game on them.

We have enough trouble stopping people uploading patient info to their gmail acocunts and emailing it home!!!

(yes i know mcafee and other products do document tracking, all costs.....)

is this really worthy of el'Reg?

Bad comments by people who dont understand and or/ they are just pissed of that their mate 'Dave' cant clock them in when they are running late.

the only issue here which has been risen above is, the way the data is stored once taken, in this day and age, thats the only thing you can argue over.

Good point, link it to immigration, do that for eeeevvery system :)

Get rid of unions full stop, there all waste of time and create hassle and end up with someone trying tpo make a point and then a load of sheep following, this is the job now, like it or lump it.

So if these blocks are being put in place.

Why hasn't a system been put in place to stop ever piece of spam/malware/DDOS event from coming up or going down someones line already,

surely stop these first as they have a larger financial and social impact on the world, porn can come second.....

So you cant walk up to a drive thru or use a pedal bike as... there is no pavement and cars need to pull up close to collect there order... is there reason, health and safety

so i can be served on a motorbike, open face helmet drinking my shake or eating a Very hot apple slice....

Ok you say, you wouldnt do that... but you munch on your chips or sip your drink in your car....so.....

come on, lets get a test going, who's got a road legal go kart, quad, mobility scooter, SEGWAY it!!!!????
