[00:54] <ball> Mornin'
[09:35] <zxmpi> allo allo
[09:58] <daftykins> \o
[10:06] <daftykins> coffee \o/
[10:07] <daftykins> well that was funny, that person i mentioned with the 7 Mb ISP results for broadband, they updated last night and suddenly have VDSL from a cabinet - so it must have indeed been solely about availability being maxxed out
[10:07] <daftykins> maybe BT put in exactly what the development needed so it has a full cabinets perhaps
[10:07] <daftykins> -s
[10:12] <zxmpi> so what speeds do they have now?
[10:12] <daftykins> ~ 34 / 4
[10:12] <zxmpi> nice
[10:12] <zxmpi> not great, but nice
[10:13] <zxmpi> of course they will fill that bandwidth instantly
[10:13] <zxmpi> bandwidth, the new ram :-)
[10:13] <daftykins> starting to look at TalkTalk's reputation and it seems like they might muck about with customer traffic through 'traffic management' which could have some impact 
[10:13] <zxmpi> of course, very hard to prove if they are sneaky enough
[10:15] <daftykins> although she did plug a cable in and life got better! so it may not matter anymore, will have to get more testing done
[10:46] <daftykins> wow the laptop i posted yesterday afternoon made it to Ipswich already
[10:47] <zxmpi> downside, laptop is now in ipswich :-P
[10:48] <daftykins> hehe
[17:56] <luna> hi
[18:11] <zxmpi> o/
[19:06] <daftykins> well, tried my best... but trying to rule out the internal wiring didn't improve a fella's broadband this evening, 60 Mb still stuck on 34... gonna log a ticket with the telco to check it on the pole
[20:52] <zxmpi> there is some very shoddy wiring about
[20:52] <zxmpi> aluminium is the future... of job security for sparkies :-P
[20:53] <daftykins> heh
[20:53] <zxmpi> eeee son every job i do is work for you in 20 years
[20:53] <daftykins> my pal in Baltimore has aluminium electrics, at some point he's got to have a sparky just put copper tails on it all, where it enters wall sockets etc apparently
[20:54] <zxmpi> mad that it's still allowed
[20:59] <zxmpi> mind, we live on a planet that still allows you to sell ms windows :-P
[20:59] <daftykins> ^_^
