Hi people
Well I like many others made the switch to Freeola broadband and am in my first ten days of line stability checks
Things sure have moved on. I remember using an ancient modem on a C64 to dial to the Gnome at Home and after receiving a horrendus phone bill dumped it pronto (and that was for basic bulletin board use).
Off up to 33k then 56k dialup through a variety of services in the early nineties, on to nthell broadband...
when you're in a clan game, screaming from the skies in your Stuka about to help takeout a vital target for your buddies on the ground, the last thing you want is a disconnect lol (and there were enough of those)
on I went to F2S - A great ISP and 2mb service was solid UNTIL... yup BTMax
THEN you find that the company is only in name and the service/support no longer exists - download speed never above 4Mb
Enter Freeola....
My connection is the same, but my download speed is now between 4 & 6MB
and the switch was instant and troublefree
(apart from some outage the other day)
Looking ok - what say you?

why can't they just develop wireless which can't be done over so easily. Even at school most people can hack bluetooth, it's just annoying.
True, it's happened to us... I mentioned it somewhere on here I think...

Well it glows until someone breaks into your wi-fi and steals net connection, or just logs your passwords lol, that was done to me, eventhough I had encryption and everything, best solution is cabling networks and cable phone line :) and the only time a computer is secure is when it's turned off, told to me by one of my teachers, didn't like it when I said you could boot it up with a command from the network, thus making it unsecure again.
