I'm probably one of the ones you've seen, I normally play on the first floor at lunch time (although I work on 3rd floor)

Not to deliberately increase your envy, but we've actually got Xbox's with Kinect rather than Wii's now, and they are in the coffee area of each floor.

Work in progress on that cabinet on top of Hawthorn road, looks like they renewing old cabinet and installing in fibre cab.

Well anyone on cab 16 that's the one on station Bridge outside main post office went live today for orders on BT, Plusnet, TalkTalk and sky web sites of orders.

Just on phone to get MAC from my ISP to switch to fibre which is proving a long phone call trying to get me to stay. Final after 20 minute call they have given in to my request and put my request for a MAC code through. Now just awaiting an email in next few days with MAC code.

So looks like Plusnet going to get a new fibre customer soon,

Not so happy anymore. How is everyones connection doing? From the initial highs of 7MB/s I was getting I am now lucky to get over 5 in the middle of the night and just over 3 during the day, Anyone else experiencing these kind of drops in performance?

So is this transfer rate rather than sync speed?

Who is the ISP?

I was getting 78Mb/s down and 20Mb/s up (sync speed) and speed tests confirmed up to 60Mb/s down and 18Mb/s up.

The speed has stayed pretty stable with no significant drops.

I am currently using a hacked Huwaei (sp?) modem (from eBay for the stats) and ISP is BT. Modem supplied by OR was ECI.

"It just works!"
