Gaming PC
Wifes PC
Media Centre box in the living room & spare bedroom
Xbox 360
PS4
TiVo box
Sky box (for anytime in the bedroom)

Also have a Netgear WiFI PCI card but it dosnt give much of a signal as we only use it for are phones and one tablet and the squzze box music thing in the kitchen and the nowtv box whats in the spare living room.

I did setup a small Squid cache but theses days ISPs use CDN so there really no point.

Don't get me started! We've heard all stories from Openreach - the last one was Network Rail won't let them run the fibres under the track. Six months before it was a full duct.

We are scheduled to get "superfast broadband" Q3 2015 - possibly before.

Nope - it serves a backup for my data and photography. Those RAW files are ~25MB a pop and is soon starts eating the GB's!
