I found sky a lot better than bt. They were worse than useless. Also that advert campaign makes me want to get in a warm bath and open my wrists.

There's a big BT customer service building up the road here, I suppose if they piss me off I can go in with a shotgun...

Sky are tempting too, cost wise there isn't a great deal between any of them really, certainly not the top packages.

Sky is st. BT is the best you can get in -ville. I mean South Shields. I've tried the whole lot of 'em.
Well, NTL, sky, bt, virgin. Sky again, and now back to BT because they're consistent.

By me, what I mean is over the years I've signed my parents up to various packages and only BT seem to actually give promised speeds.

I went out with a girl once called Beattie Enternat. Black hair like the sands of Iwo Jima. Could bend spanners.

And the NTL man tried to tell my mam that the salt in the air affected the cables. I think that may have been the final straw with them.

Maybe the day after Pearl Harbour was bombed laugh

BT are the best of a bad bunch in South Tyneside. They have just replaced a load of infrastructure in this area too, due to some on-going issues they had.

Still st if you have a problem though, but Sky is even worse.

Just been on the phone to BT and they're saying 1.5 - 3mb/s but my neighbours are getting 8mb/s

Parents' house up the road are getting 50mb/s with Virgin. I fear I might have to go with Usain Bolt's company after all.

I thought people in South Shields still used pigeons for communication?

My van review by Chunk (aged 35.95)

My new van is a Citroen berlingo. It only had 27 miles but I went and done 120 today. It has three seats and one of them becomes a table. You can use it for sandwiches and comics. It has a flashy orange light to tell people that I'm very important. The gearstick is like a golf ball, but without any dimples. You shouldn't hit it with a golf club.

Because it has three seats, there is not nowhere to put your left leg when you drive. This is a bit rubbish. It also has a company logo on it, so I shouldn't drive like a mong no more. It has a sat nav, so if I need to wee I can find a toilet, instead of weeing in the van.

I like my new van. The flashy light is the bestest bit.

I think that thread should be locked, it's clearly diverged well away from the topic.

Who wants to start a gay marriage thread?
