My Virgin Media hub arrived some time during the day. Now enjoying the delights of 50Mb/s broadbandComment

Sad really: in a week this sensation of gloriously fast downloads and web sites will have worn off, and I'll be muttering darkly and drumming my fingers again
I remember observing this in the 70s - 80s: after 75 baud punched paper tape, 300 baud cassette tape seemed so amazingly fast. Then 1200 baud tape made 300 seem so slow. Then floppy disks made all cassettes seem slow. And then I got to use a hard drive at my first job after Uni, and that made floppies seem slow. And then it started all over again with modemsComment

Tried the speed test on the BBC iPlayer site. It has a little graphic of a speedometer to show how fast it's going. Unfortunately, it only goes up to 20MB - in my case, it just shot up to the stop and stayed there for the duration
It's reporting around 38Mb/s downstream, which isn't too bad for this time of evening. I reckon it'll be a good bit faster in the small hours of the morning when the neighbours aren't cluttering up the local network connectionComment

And it uses the internal oscillator of a PIC16F628 which probably isn't terribly stable.
A second a day is pretty good.
I built a MSF timecode receiver which is as accurate as the transmitted timecode more or less, taking into account the time it takes for the radio waves to travel from Cumbria to south Wales.
And the processing time of the electronics,, which is probably about 30 milliseconds or so, plus the processing time of the pic program that does the decoding.Comment
