Broadband - now we're motoring again!
Discussion
Been six weeks without Broadband, since I moved.
Ouch! Really been missing it. Now all hooked up again.
TIP: If you were just outside the distance when you last enquired, BT have now extended the coverage in some places.
I am about 4 km from the Watford exchange, but was originally told the cabling was in excess of the 5.5km limit! Mrs Beano hounded them while we were considering "mid-band" as a compromise, and eventually a helpful soul said "I think we're extended the distance to 6.5km now, can I put you through to check?"
A week later and I am back on my "better" computer, with sound, able to play DVD's and CD's, play in Photoshop and able to communicate to you all in wonderful Cyberspace at ADSL speeds - just done a test and it's all working pretty well OK

And have you seen those Intel Centrino adverts?
You're gonna need something like that, just in case we have a tough winter.....
(Min spec as specified in the blurb is a Pentium II 233 and 64MB - so it's worth knowing that there is a benefit for anyone other than Deb who doesn't have/want/afford the latest kit....)
