I've been with our telephone provider's BB for years, mainly due to a cock up that meant we had free BB for over 2 years
Sadly, all good things come to an end and two weeks ago I was informed I would have to pay or cut off, and if I simple cut off, they couldn't supply me with that number/code thingy I need to give to my next supplier to port the service, so I have to pay a whole month's fees
Also recently, my 100BaseTX network round the house has gone tits up - I can check all the wires with a multimeter, correct resistance, all 8 wires have conductivity, no shorts, yet for some reason only two cables actually work and none of the rest work, despite there theoretically being no faults.
This, and the fact that we are satellite tv subscribers makes me tempted to go for sly and get the free wireless router. My old man got it a while back, it he's been ok with it, but he's not a technie like you lot.
So basically, is Sly BB really that bad? The one thing I hope they don't do, our current supplier seems to have put some restriction on limewire, it connects to network, finds files, but either won't d/l or d/l's at painfully slow speeds, but at silly o clock at night, the downloads go well fast. As non paying customers, we couldn't even complain, but I read some providers have traffic shaping and weird stuff like that so basically would sly do the job?
