      The response you got seemed helpful to me. I have had lots of useful responses from general as well.

      At the moment there seem to be a few in the professional forums who get upset when they don't like the response they get. Not very nice when people are trying to help.

      I listen to all advice then take the advice I want to here.

      I always think those who talk about cliques *tend* to have troubles getting on with other.

      On the other hand, I know there is a CUK clique and I was black-balled from joining. In fact, when they emptied the bag with the balls in, it looked like the bottom of a rabbit's cage.....

        Move home or go Dial up was a helpful response?

        "I always think those who talk about cliques *tend* to have troubles getting on with other." Your opinion, i respect that, its b0llox, but I respect it, hehe

          There were at least 2 other suggestions. I get the feeling you read the first line of my post and no further?

          The most important bit - if you don't like a response just ignore it. Cojak is incredibly good at this - most of us need to do better....

            Why is your broadband bad? Because you live in the middle of nowhere or just a poor provider?

            That said it's all the same infrastructure isn't it?

              It's just where I am, everyone in the building has bad speeds, all with different providers. Hyperoptic is going to be installing here, so up to 1GB speeds, but that could be up to a year away...

                What is it you do, and what speed to you need?

                I've managed to work from home before with < 512k (normally around 300k) so it is perfectly possible as long as you are careful about your use.

                  You also got -

                  1. Rent an office/desk space with broadband from me

                  2. Satellite broadband from Brillo

                  I was thinking of something else but then I remembered BT don't install those lines anymore.

                  I am also aware some people in parts of large cities as well as those in rural locations have crap broadband.

                  Oh Brillo and I aren't in any clique. Though I have got round to overtly calling an insensitive a-hole yet.
