Also in the 24hours since getting online the netgear router has needed rebooting 10+ times. Had to move it to the kitchen so its right in the draft. A couple more days of this and they can stick it where the sun don't shine.

There is no way I would have sky anything over Virgin given the choice.


Dont forget to take the overheads off that 1.6 sync speed.
