Yes, i do remember them being a very good to use site Trish, and most of the liquids i tried were very nice
I will always have my faves from Chefs, but, their ready to use range has dropped off quite a bit now and i need an alternative. I think i will try some Lemon meringue pie along with the others i mentioned, seeing as there is no more LCCC It's still listed in concentrates for all it's out of stock ...perhaps it'll come back.Yes, i do remember them being a very good to use site Trish, and most of the liquids i tried were very nice
My Fibre speeds have dropped dramatically from 80/20 to 40/15 w t f have online chatted to PN support and they are hopeful to get back to me within 72 hours - hoping it is a fault in the Cabinet which can be rectifiedMust be a time of internet woes ...I've been getting a daily drop in ADSL connection for a couple of weeks, but yesterday, there were three in a couple of hours ..very unusual for me.
It was one of the reasons I ditched ADSL - it was too ropey, was always having problems with drop outs and noise on the line, exchange is about a mile & a quarter from me, whereas the Cabinet is only 320m away and it's only the last few meters from the other end of our block that is above ground, VM doesn't exist here so there is no other options. It's possible it's just the line card that has failed and needs replacing, we'll have to wait and see, I've had very good service since joining PN from BT which was also good but the price was more, i have had the occasional slight drop in speeds which is normally fixed by pulling the plug early in the morning, but this time it didn't work.Must be a time of internet woes ...I've been getting a daily drop in ADSL connection for a couple of weeks, but yesterday, there were three in a couple of hours ..very unusual for me.
I bought some new filters (The master socket is 4 years old, and not the filtered type) so I'll try one soon. One is the transistorised type, the others Billion and a brand I don't recall ATM.
VM have been laying fibre, and digging up pavements and grass verges - just hope they haven't disturbed something. There again, it may not be them at all - whatever, the SNR on the down section drops to around 3.0 before it drops connection.
Hope yours gets fixed soon with little fuss on your part!
I was with Pipex, and through re-sales, ended up with nightmare TalkTalk - speed was around 3.5-4, and many disconnections. Went to Zen as I'd planned to if Pipex disappeared, and intended to get FTTC after having a new master socket installed. Had the wiring brought around outside and the socket in here just two feet from me now. Speed increased to 7.6 so I saw no need to get FTTC for my needs. All fine until Boris had everyone routed through the Westminster POP shifted off for the dratted Olympics, and hasn't been as good since. I'm back on a London one now, but never been as good as it was.
VM don't seem to have good c/s - I like Zen for their UK base and access to tech services. They aren't cheapest though.
Billion has some good reviews and might be the one I would plump for if ever the Fritz! 7390 that I have breaks down although I would probably go for this one: Billion BiPAC 8800AXL VDSL2(Fibre)/ADSL2+ Dual Band Wireless AC 1300 Modem Router with 3G/4G LTE failover 4 x Gigabit LAN, 1 x Gigabit WAN and 2 x USB port: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories even though I hate white for electrical goods, being only 70mtrs fom your cabinet you would be able to get the full 80/20 FTTC product from someone like PN and probably save money over Zen, especially if you paid the telephone line bit annually like I do.
My 7800n is under my desk, so I never see it really, but I agree, white/beige is not a particularly attractive colour for most electrical appliances. Still, now that we don't smoke, at least they stay that colour!
This is the Zen/BT estimate for my line: "Your line will typically support up to 62.4Mbps download (Min. 36.1Mbps and Max. 80Mbps), 20Mbps upload"
Good - at least you know ..now let's hope it's fixed quickly!
I haven't got around to getting the powered hub and drive yet, but saw these, and they seem like a good price for 2TB:
They look good, I'm assuming you will be getting that switched powered hub to go with it, so that you can switch it off when you need to.
Yes, I'd get the powered hub too. Interestingly, with the drives, the red one is more expensive! ..never mind, blue will do
Can't remember where it was but there was a report that the Seagate had a better fail rate than the Western Digital drives, so think you probably made the right choice, and you know you like BlueYes, I'd get the powered hub too. Interestingly, with the drives, the red one is more expensive! ..never mind, blue will do
I had intended getting the WD 1TB - but I don't suppose there's much to choose between these things ..none of them totally trustworthy!
Well then ...in that case!Can't remember where it was but there was a report that the Seagate had a better fail rate than the Western Digital drives, so think you probably made the right choice, and you know you like Blue
...and yes, rumours abound that I do have a fondness for blue!
a few more pennies in the jam jar thensaid embellishment now has a new home!
until the end of the year when the other George & co will want their cut.Indeed - and very welcome too!a few more pennies in the jam jar then
Last tax bill put a hole in savings, but seeing my next tax bill at the year-end will be for 2015: a very lean year because I got very little work done, it'll not be so bad! ...whatever though, we can't run away from it
