Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

Quick vote on how people will be using the internet on Friday, seeing as its a bank holiday, ill be doing some gaming, and if today is anything to go by, it will be a shambles, so i want to do a quick vote on how people will be using the net on friday

People go a day without using the internet? *Insert shocked face here*

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

where does it say that?

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

You were asking who would be using their internet on the 29th, i was merely joking around saying that people can't go without the internet each day; or more importantly facebook.

Why are you asking me this, you weirdo

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

Yes, iv shot myself in the foot by adding this as an option havnt I!!!!

I am just trying to get an idea of what people are planning to be doing, I really thought today would be quiet on the net, especially as the weather was so nice, but by the way my broadband was behaving, it would suggest that every man and his dog was online, and I want to know what the UK population are planning on doing on friday, because I want to actually be able to play without lag and disconnection

I started this thread in all seriousness, and it would seem that I am being host to the large amount of sarcasm and abuse being thrown around recently on cableforum. Please be nice, as I always am, thank you

Sorry you took it the wrong way I was just messing, In all seriousness it will be like every other day lots of different stuff, youtube maybe a bit of gaming and probably some downloading.

i know its a bit weird/random, but i genuinely wanted to know what peoples internet intentions are, because if today is anything to go by, friday could be a real pain, and virgin media might be losing a customer

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

Unfortnately craig, you have made your qestion far too general.

You are looking at it from a gamers point of view judging by your other post.

You perhaps don't realise that gaming is not the be all and end all to everyone on here.

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

i dont care really. the basic need is that my connection can be used at all, then second priority is that i can use it for gaming, today was awful, and to top it off, I couldnt get thru to UK call centres either, however if its like this on friday, I will be terminating my contract with virgin, as today peeeed me off, but friday will tip me over the edge

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

The choice is yours, as you know I have changed provider to t issues I had.

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

I really dont want to change provider, and im hoping it wont get to that point, but if anything like the disgrace I got today happens again, I will be at the very least be making a call to my contact at the CEO office, and hopefully trying to resolve something like that, I dont want to have to move to another provider, as there is only ADSL to go to, and in my area the max speed of ADSL is 3mb becuase of the distance from the exchange, I would go with someone like Be* but they wont accept me as a customer because my line is too far away from the exchange. Virgin was my only real hope of getting decent speeds and today they took that privilege away from me. I have been very happy with my service until today (apart from the p2p management affecting games, another story)

I really hope this doesnt happen again, for virgins sake

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

Well, I'm going to try and download large amounts of data, But as I'm with Virgin Media, I'll probably just have to settle for some light browsing and checking my E-mail every now and again.

Who cares about Friday anyway, Saturday's the big day.. next episode of Doctor Who is on :)

Re: Broadband Usage On 29-04-2011 Royal Wedding
 

I will be doing what I normally do, 'netwise; and if there are any speed issues I will not worry about it for one day.
