If you're considering sky, have a look at NOW Broadband, which is owned by sky and is basically the same service but cheaper (their routers are interchangeable). They also throw in an Anytime calling package if that's of any interest. With cashback it's an ever better deal, I'm paying £20 a...

Unbeatable! I'll have it if you don't want it ;)

980 Ti seems to be cropping up for around £150 these days. After you sold your 780 Ti you'd only be down about £80 and have a decent, if not spectacular, upgrade.

Both, but it is usually used as a modem (popular as it is a similar size to the HG612, so handy for wall mounting etc). It's a perfectly decent router too, but a bit short on ram compared to other Zyxel routers. RRP is ridiculous, but bargains often show up on ebay.

Over on the kitz forum the Zyxel VMG1312-b10a is a popular choice.

Have I read this wrong? If you have downgraded your speed to 52Mbps, then the upload should be 10Mbps shouldn't it? AFAIK on the 80/20 package offers 20Mbps uploads.

To be honest that sounds about right. In general your real world performance is usually at the lower end of the estimate, but usually a few mbps above the handback threshold so openreach don't have to do anything about it. Reducing or improving the quality of cable runs may yield a small...

I'm not sure if you're aware, but your connection has been banded, as shown by your rates ending in exactly 99 and 9999. The DLM bands your profile when it detects a lot of errors, and its response is to artificially limit your speed until the connection is stable (hence the high Line...

This type of scam has been around for a few years. They are normally a 550 Ti or 450GTS with a flashed bios that identifies it as a GTX 960, or whatever. I suppose some people just install it, check its called a 960/1060 or whatever, and accept it.

Thanks, gone for the cheaper 580. Appreciate the gesture in the current environment.

Blowers are generally considered to not cool the card quite so well, but they are very popular with those with smaller cases as they vent the hot air from the case quickly.

They are, but it hardly matters when your line is that good :)

I think Vodafone use the Daisy Group infrastructure.

After having a quick look around, your best best will be one of the custom Clevo builders. £750 just about buys a 17" full HD laptop with an i5 and 860m graphics.

I think you made the right choice.

It is possible to run an SSD with vista as most SSD manufacturers offer clean up software that makes up for vista's lack of native TRIM support (Intel and Samsung certainly do). It is also possible to clone your HDD onto an SSD (if size allows), some SSDs even come with a cable to do so, but...

You'd be surprised what would sell on ebay if your not bothered about how much you make and can be bothered to package it and post it. Just make sure you don't lose money on the postage and fees ;)

It will support an SSD, as mentioned only at SATA II. This is not a huge issue though as the main benefit will be access times, which will be much improved. Read speeds will also be better though, my Dell 1558 has a SATA II SSD installed and I get a sequential read speed of 240MB/s, which is...

Surely nobody actually pays full price though! It's like Domino's are always 50% off, and it still seems a bit pricey for a pizza! ;)

I'm pretty sure that there's no laptop you could buy for £400 that would have a graphics card that was anywhere near the HD 5770.
