You guys have to pay for the amount of downloading you do? I have 1Mbps DSL, I get raped in the Tookas at $40 a month. But I download and upload, & surf as much as I want. I had unlimited usage for $6 a month with 56k phone line through bluefrog a few years ago.
Back in Rochester, NY I got 5Mbps through RoadRunner cable with unlimited usage for $32 a month. That was awesome. Vegas has little competition with COX and they rape you 8 ways you never knew existed with their crappy service & outrageous prices.

Depends on the package you have, there are 2 basic types, one is unlimited so you pay your monthly fee and can download all you like. The other is capped so you have a maximum you can download a month. The capped packages are obviously usually cheaoer than the uncapped ones.
-
They're screwing your back end with a diesel tailpipe over those packages. I know the conversion rates. Your capped packages are about the same as my unlimited package. Your ISPs got you all as their S&M b**ches. How do you put up with it?
Of course you also have to pay a regular fee to OWN your own television. I still think that's a raping on it's own. -
We are just used to getting ripped off over here. The current strong pound against the dollar makes it seem even worse.

Cobra was saying that, for example, Taiyo Yuden DVD-R costs three times as much as Ritek thereOriginally Posted by Craig Tucker

Not quite 3 times, I just paid £60 for 100 full face printable TY's, Riteks come in packs of 25 for £6.50. Still the TY's are damned expensive.

Just another thing for you to point your a** at and have someone dig deep for their own personal gain. You is gettin' Raped.

Had the phone line activated by BT yesterday and have just tried to order Pipex broadband but it keeps telling me that my phone number is not recognised ?!?!?!?! WTF ? The phone works as I've used it but for some reason the telephone number isn't being recognised by Pipex
I'll be back onto ******* dialup at this rate

Get on to BT fella
-
I've just got on to BT. Bloody hell there's an ordeal. I told them that the ISP can't find my phone number as it is new - BT said yes thats correct it will take some time ! Then I'm put on hold while she phones some engineer, then returns to me accompanied by a high pitch whistling sound coming down the phone. I'm sat here holding the phone away from my ear as she shouts to try and get heard over the din, whistling away in the background. The upshot is it'll be cleared, or whatever, in about an hour.Originally Posted by Hardcoreruss
I should be on broadband next week hopefully.

What package have you gone for?
-
Solo 500. Its about all I can afford bearing in mind the BT line rental is £10 a month and this is £24. I'm not getting suckered into a limited service either, its uncapped or nowt for me.Originally Posted by Hardcoreruss
It'll be nice getting my router up and going again.

I thought you had a laptop?

No - I had a borrow of one for a while. I've just got my desktop now.Originally Posted by Hardcoreruss
So any recommendations ?

I bought one a few months a go, Systemax Centrino 1.7, 1gb ram, 80gb hd all the usual.
I bought it from Simply Computers (I think they are on your list though).
I sold it two months later cause I never used it, silly impulse buy. I paid £1400 for it and sold it on for £850
-
You mad bastard. I have no intention of spending that much on a laptop. I was looking at a few yesterday in the £700 range.
I had a look at this, seems to be good enough for what I want.

Big big for a lappers though, not really the sort of thing you would want to cart around.
I would spend the money on upgrading the desktop. -
For £650 I could build a new desktop rather than upgrade one.
This is similar but lighter. How light should these things be ?

That looks better, my old one was 2.8kg, I think that is the average sort of weight for a Centrino.
-
This may be all academic as BT have still not registered my line. Tossers.

BT are tossers, have you not got cable in your neck of the woods?
