Bo$$: its a hitachi 26LD555ou,just a 26" lcd

Bo$$ · May 7, 2011

dude return it/complain to the store if you bought it and they told you it supported 1080p!

MightyMission · May 7, 2011

I didn't buy it ,the mrs did so they probably blagged her!

I dont normally watch TV to be honest,it bores me to sleep..i did follow boardwalk empire and erm a program about con artists that was quite good "the con" or something,very good.

the last time i bought something electronics brand new i done a couple hours homework online then went from one end of tottenham court road to the other,until i got the best deal.

exactly my point. Hes not getting his full download rate

You very rarely get your full download rate though and that's why most companies advertise "up to"

he's got 24/25 of the full download rate, compared to ADSL customers that normally get around 1/4 he's doing well

How close you are to the exchange also makes a difference. I'm contracted for 6MB and getting 1MB/s downloads

(exchange is apparently about 1mile away only)

MightyMission · May 7, 2011

im about 26 miles away from my nearest server apparently,and sky are robbers!
they advertised in national papers a £10/month package but due to my location the same package is £40..i dont mind though as i like where i live,until i have to go out in the car!
eastbourne is full of the slowest car drivers..in fact im sure rigor mortis has set in with most of them

you have a 48mbit connection, thats unusually specific (yes i'm trying to point out there is a massive difference between MB and Mb) - but in general people only get 1/4 of whats advertised so most of us are doing quite well actually

Sorry I got carried away using the same thing:

Contracted for 6Mbit internet (which should have roughly 0.7MB/s download speed, if my math serves me right)

I actually get 1.0MB/s download speeds which is 0.3MB/s faster than I should. Not much.. but if feels good to get more than you pay for once.

My workplace is worse. We barely have 2Mbit for an office with around 20 computers.

EDIT: I presume it's because they didn't imagine Steam to be an essential part of an employee's computer

kurosagi01 · May 7, 2011

According to speedtest my download rate is 9mb but i only get 1mb tops lol.

if your using steam or a browser to measure your download they will measure in MB where speedtest measures in Mb - look at my above posts

kurosagi01 · May 7, 2011

lol i get you cheesy. =)

KieX · May 7, 2011

Here's my 6Mb/s :laugh:

:

I noticed that TalkTalk has a very average rating on that image. In honesty a lot of people I know also have a hard time with this ISP. But I can't complain, it has been really good for me.

Eh? I'm in central London 10min walk from Victoria. No idea what that Sittingbourne server is. The BT exchange used by TalkTalk for this area is somewhere in westminster :/

MightyMission · May 7, 2011

there is a big brown building next to the met police hq on victoria road,
my pal and i redone the sealants on the windows from the outside about 10 years ago.

I think the building is only 18 floors high but i was scared of heights at the time,
my mate thought it would be funny if he jerked the controls on the sky climber as we went up a floor and i dropped a freshly opened tube of sealant above 15 floors...i have never seen such a mess!

i think sittingbourne is in kent?

yes, its just outside medway (falls under the postcode though)

they all recently got BT infinity last year

I lived in ramsgate (newington estate)for a bit,not the best place i have been.
There was a beautiful beach nearby though i think it was called west gate.
i think when our sky contract is up we will look for a better provider.

1:Ramsgate is a terrible place, along with margate
2:yes
3: our sky works brilliantly

I'm always amazed by theamount of people that don't know the difference between Mb and MBwhen they talk about internety providings. It'sworth educating yourself on (not aimed at anyone in particular; I skimmed the last few pages)

How is everyone?

MightyMission · May 7, 2011

Absolutely T for Tremendous

for what its worth i probably did learn the difference between Mbits and Mbytes but my memory just wont retain that kind of information,which is peculiar as i can remember all the bits that went into supercharging a 306 i had 10 years ago...
