Openreach and Virgin Media recently teamed up for the laying of fibre in Northern Ireland's larger towns but I'm not aware of that happening elsewhere.

A lower speed without connection drops is probably crosstalk - another property using the same bundle of copper lines to the cabinet has ordered FTTC and the extra noise is lowering speeds for everyone. There's nothing to be done and the advertised line speed for you/your neighbours will be...

The nearest equivalent in England & Wales to that sort of statement would be the basis of plea but that's fairly informal - it usually isn't written down in minor cases, the defendant doesn't read it in court and it's quite high level (e.g. the defendant admits multiple kicks but not a kick to...

I thought that Hyperoptic's 1Gbps symmetrical service was overkill but eliminating the nuisance of large game downloads and cloud backups saturating the connection makes it worthwhile. As very few providers can match the connection speed, there is always something left in the tank for other...

I'm sure a lot of people could do it but I doubt they'd ever allow it - the ONT is the future master socket for all services so Openreach would prefer a delayed install over a botched one.

Find a cheaper ISP or downgrade the package. Wireless connection sharing with several buildings in the way will be expensive or unreliable or both.

Downloading a game from Steam or Blizzard will usually show what your connection can really do.

Yup.

This list isn't exhaustive but shows most of Openreach's planned work: https://www.openreach.com/content/dam/openreach/openreach-dam-files/images/transparency/April%202020%20Transparency%20Data%20Capture.pdf

Openreach's FTTP deployment is more aggressive than the commercial approach that was taken with FTTC or is taken by Virgin Media, etc. A fully fibre network will be easier and cheaper to maintain in the long run (your local exchange will probably be scrapped in the next several years) so a lot...

Promising a "life without doubt, negativity and stress" isn't credible. If the focus is on avoiding excessive negativity (or coping better with the inevitable negative emotions that we all experience) then your friend should say so. As others have said, take the focus off introversion. Many...

21st August 2001 - the final arc of Deep Space Nine on VHS. £50 for eight episodes - yikes.

The 4K is still a good piece of kit and I can't see a replacement being any better for watching video.

Local GP and Breitbart confirm miracle cure to pandemic that was revealed by a senile man rambling on the TV. Uh huh.

00:00 - Install app. 00:01 - Begin the Simpsons S1-9 rewatch.

A 2700K at 4.8GHz is still a hefty CPU. What do you want to do with your system that it can't do (or do to your satisfaction)? I know this is OCUK and everyone has the upgrade bug at all times, but I'd hold out until the next generation of CPUs and Nvidia GPUs are released later this year.

If someone makes a ridiculously low offer '4 a quick sale', I just ignore it since engaging with them would be a waste of everyone's time. I assume they have a search term for a particular item and send the same offer to everyone.

Factory reset the hub and make sure the network settings in Windows (obtain IP address, etc.) are on automatic. This should flush out any configuration problems.

Have you tried changing the 5GHz channel used by the Smart Hub? You aren’t going to get a better AIO for £60.

Just wait to see what happens. Native FTTP is far better than any of the alternatives.
