What is pissing you off this time?

So the ISP will be 22.30 GPB or about 36 USD. That's just internet? Wireless, wire(cable), or over phone lines? Is it fast or a lot of latency?

The ISP bill will be £20.31 ie £15.31 + £5.00 increase, the credit card surcharge no longer applying as I've gone over to Direct Debit..

It's just for internet access although, to be fair, I could get a better deal if we placed all the telecoms business with them.
I keep getting Emails offering all sorts of inducements to change to a bundle of services but I'm happy with things as they are.
As Dad has the phone line on contract from another outfit, it would probably be more trouble than it's worth to change.

I've just done a speed check and it comes in at 16.51mb/s over the phone line. I have to say that it's pretty reliable and outages are rare although it does slow down at peak times.

A fibre optic line passes the gate so I could take advantage of that but I suspect that it would be a bit pricey although blisteringly fast..

Sounds like they are at least wearing a condom, rather than the roughing up they do here.

Also, lost another Uncledigr. Took cancer to kill this one. He was a Marine the day he was born, and he was still a Marine the day he died.

Fuck cancer.
