It's great to go and window shop then go online to actually buy something. Wish we had huge stores like in the US that sell isle and isles of computer bits
How the hell do Currys stay in business?

I've just had a reply off LilaConnect on Facebook.
Even though the cables have been down a couple of months the infrastructure still needs working on.

You'll fit in perfectly, you're hired.
Soldato
Cheers for that.
Should be the same for me then, the cables have been down in the street for a couple of months now but still no movement on them taking orders.

Probably the easiest way to do it, if doing it yourself is to get a length of cat 5e (say 100m) some end connectors and a cheap crimp tool, that way you can get it more of less exactly the right length and route it more easily (~6mm cable rather than having to allow for a ~15mm diameter hole if going through any walls/floors).
Man of Honour
Cheers for that.

Hi Dave, although the cables may have been laid, there is still further work to be done before areas go live, so it does take a few months after the build unfortunately. We'd be more than happy to offer you an indicative date - email your full address to [email protected] and we'll give you an idea as to when you'll be able to get a full fibre connection. Thank you!

Mouse wheel broke yesterday, so straight down Curries this morning as I've been wanting a wireless one. Wound up spending nearly £300 as I picked the G915 too. Lovely to type on.
To contradict their returns policy mentioned here, because I bought in store I cannot return these items as they've been used. But if I bought online, then that's okay to return...
Not impressed with their data collection at the till. Asking where I live wtf.

RE Data, It's a double edge sword because if you lose the receipt they can look you up.
The returns policy being different online is a joke IMO. Shows they just do the bare minimum to meet the regs rather than consider the Customer experience.
Logitech wireless mouse?

I got fibre laid in my road in June and it's still not active. It's Cityfibre who Vodafone and a few others use.Full reply

Isn’t that the same with all shops? The online returns policy is due to distance selling regulations.
I used to live near a very large Fry's electronics store and I'd still much prefer to order anything that I'd need from Amazon.
Even if you only need one cable, run a second at the same time as its far easier to do it then than later again, in case you need a second or there is an issue with the first.
Which one? On the way out to the airport beside the McDonalds and Tesco?
Soldato
Same here
Correct, right next to McDonalds
Definitely, 10Gb cat6 ethernet cables are so cheap these days it's best to run two.
get cat6a - cat6 is pretty much old hat now and cat5 is only good for scrap (and dont be fooled by cat7 - its useless)
Well CAT7 is designed for something completely differenent to CAT6, whereas CAT8 is the natural successor to CAT6.
