    On the topic of support I've found them very responsive however it's not 24/7, it's something like 8am to 10pm.

    Lit Fibre

    Did a year at 1Gb and found that apart from Steam rarely did the link get to go over 500 so resigned at the lower speed. That was a year ago now so only 12 months left. Hasn't been perfect but for the price and speed I'm happy.

    I resigned for a 24 month contract, they were guaranteeing no in contract price rises when I did this. Is this still the case? Guess I'm being screwed though as I'm paying £27 per month (500Mb) for the 2 years, didn't realise they had dropped their prices.

    **** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

    If you're only to have one trial flight / lesson I wouldn't bother but if you were thinking of doing a PPL then it could become very useful, especially when used in conjunction with something like VATSIM.

    Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

    Love that case, a cluster of these would be jaw dropping to look at IMHO. Trouble is that price :(

    What retro things have you done today?

    @Retro6 , not sure what I'm planning to do with mine at the moment. Don't suppose you're anywhere near North Wilts are you? Could consider a loan.

    What retro things have you done today?

    Finally got around to trying my ZIP drive again last night. Found an old PC with PATA HD (Pentium 4 running XP Home) and it does indeed work. Sadly about 20% of the disks I had are no longer readable but I don't think they had anything on I will miss (directories were readable). I did have some...

    Any memories of the old shops we used to visit?

    I bought my BBC Micro from a small computer shop in Sheffield back in 83 but I can't remember the name of the place or exactly where it was.

    PC not getting full speeds with wired ethernet cable

    What's plugged in and powered on at any particular time can have a dramatic effect on powerline adapters. I remember doing some tests in a community hall and they looked really good until we plugged in another 4 or 5 PCs, then the speed dropped horrendously. Upload survived better than...

    Best I ever got when on 1000Mbps was about 700 using WiFi 6 on the iPhone. Just done a successful speedtest, I guess you need to talk to their tech support. That's actually one criticism I have and that is their TS is not 24x7

    Are you doing a test using Ethernet? Wired I always seem to get close to my contracted speeds. I was on 1000 and got 940+ up and down, now on 500 and get 460/470. There is overhead so you'll not get 1000.

    Forza Horizon 4

    Been running on the Ally since I got it, it works great with 15W performance mode, so I don't need to listen to the fans scream. Great way to collect my 275 MS Reward points each day.
