Bye bye Beardy T**t.

I know - that was my thought. Also, PC world take your postcode when you buy it so you don't need the reciept either.....which I didn't have!

My slingbox packed in last week. Took it back to PC world where they gave me a new one. Its timing was impeccable as I've had it a little over 11 months but under 12

Virgin just re-sell BT ADSL where they haven't got their own kit (AFAIK). You'd have to check on the website & enter your parents postcode to find out what speed you might get.

As I'm closing down my Manchester apartment and so I either face the fact that:

a) I lose British TV streamed via Slingbox
b) get satellite and dish here in Germany (landlady doesn't like sat dishes)
c) move Slingbox to parents house

c) is preferable but the problem is they have BT ADSL and the Upload is currently running at 0.37Mb/s, I was thinking of moving them to Virgin ADSL (Virgin Cable Broadband is not available in their village), can anyone tell me if Virgin gives any better upload speeds?

or any other ADSL options, I'm just looking at Demon right now

I've just cancelled my NTLHell/BeardyTwat stuff.

Totally.

Both lines & internet.

A nice Indian lady wanted to charge me for having one of my lines repaired.

I've now fixed that.

Yes, their (indian) call centre in a nightmare. Their usual respnse is phone 0898 premium number thank you.

I too have cancelled all services (over £100 a month) because of this. About time these companies learned!

I was tempted by virgin/ntl but am staying on adsl & Demon, it's fairly good (touch wood)

[fullyautomatix]

ADSL has really crappy reliability. If only my village had cabled internet I would not touch ADSL

I had one that did that too. Then I moved it away from the radiator and it worked fine.

I've now fixed that.

You've laid your own fiber optic cables?

ADSL is a tulip alternative to cable.
