Just signed up to BY - hi to everyone
Hi there
I'm Rob and i'm a refugee from Pipex, I get connected next Wednesday and i'm looking forward to the extra speed 
One question - what is the BY newsfeed like? I've heard various reports about it from mediocre to bad? I used to have a Giganews account...is it worth reactivating it?

Re: Just signed up to BY - hi to everyone
 to the forum.
I can't answer your question as I'm on ntl, but I'm sure some of the TW people will be able to.

Re: Just signed up to BY - hi to everyone
Thanks Paul - most of my knowledge is ADSL and Satellite - hopefully i'll gain some extra insights into cable from here. Any newsfeed recommendations are welcome tho.

Your best bet is to reactivate the Giganews account imo

Thanks Zeph - never had any probs when I was with Giga, only reason I left was because they started to supply the Pipex feed...and Pipex as per usual messed that up

Most folk join CF for the help but stay for things like the Basement and the Friday quiz.
