I am apparently able to jinx myself and conjure up people at will.

(I am now thinking about Jessica Alba, Kristen Kreuk and Jennifer Lawrence)

I just thought of Angelina Jolie...OMG her she is sitting on my lap!

I loved her to bits when she was in Tomb Raider but she has changed now and is super anorexic.

My order had been accepted by virgin media. They offering me 100/10 for 12 for 6 months then 22 a month for the remaining 6 months of 12 months contract. As they can't offer me discount for 152/12 sadly. Engineer coming this Friday to install virgin media with free superhub 2.

So, can't wait to hook up along with FTTC.

The one I use?

it's called Connectify Despatch Pro and it's doing a decent job IMO

Exactly this. Amazing how many idiots yell 'photoshop' without having a clue how Speedtest results work...

He probably copied it off this guy:

No, he's probably 'bought' the 100Mb product without realising that the upload is now only 6Mb.

You do surprise me, why would you do such a thing when every time you've been with VM you've had so many problems? You and I both know it's going to end in tears, and I recon you'll have 'cancelled' your VM connection by the third week of August.

Cheers

don't even get me started. This seems to be a regular thing now where he joins and then leaves VM every month. I don't know why they don't just blacklist his account.

At those speeds it's hard to tell if the users hardware is the bottleneck, rather than the actual connection being slower. Decent network card and SSD can make a huge difference.

Is that a real home connection, work connection or edited values in flash memory?
