Faster than a speeding bullet Louis. Shazam its superman. Had the same problem here also, then they found asbestos and all work stopped. All the costs times etc. and all the propaganda given out by the previous government proved a fallacy as always. Never trust a politicians glib tongue. If I didn't know better I would say Himmler was still alive and doing courses for aspiring politicians. Anything faster than the steam computer Ive got and would have to start all over again on how to switch on Cheers John Sabourn

In our neck of the woods the cable was laid six months ago, but we will have to wait at least another 2 years before houses are connected.

Re: Broadband
with PlusNet fibre I get 70mg and 25mg
Not bad really.
The first time the wife used it she complained that the page had not changed.
Wrong Flower wrong again . IT HAD.
These figures tell you the speed your info goes down the line. That is usually the slow one., and the high one is the upload speed.
"I think) Or is the other way round.
