Lots of wobbles today I think. Martin is investigating at midnight! Aparrently traffic is 70% above normal tonight, so possibly re-routing due to OR repairs. Picked up again. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5651627244
Interestingly he does not have to include an area code for local calls.
It's been that way for 20 years - didn't you know this?
During the past 20 years is that the case where one prefixes a local call with 1470 on a TalkTalk landline? Both my friend and I were aware that for local calls an area code is not required but it was only after BatBoy's post that we were able to workaround the issue he had with "withheld" showing on caller displays and neither of us were previously aware of the 1470 prefix.

Fifa was out to download yesterday so downloading 50GB was certainly slowing xbox live down
Out of interest, now games are becoming more and more digital downloads and can be 50GB+, do you notice a hit on your network when a big release comes out?

Not the case for all though, some area codes like 01202 have to dial the full code even when calling a local number due to a shortage of numbers in that code.
