Hello!

I'm moving out and in to a new place soon.

I will have Internet at this new location from the 19th (waiting for Sky to activate). You will be sad to hear that I have a 2GB monthly allowance. Goodbye EverQuest, goodbye Mumble, goodbye beautiful 10Mbps cable hello 1.5Mbps ADSL.

Also, my desktop PC will be replaced by my laptop (you know, the one I spent £1.5k on in May 2009) and I'll be running Ubuntu instead of Windows.

So pretty much... call me?

I have to leave this place before the 26th. That may or may not be before the 19th, depends how lazy I am.

Only 2GB?

Still, I didn't think Mumble takes up too much bandwidth, so maybe you'll still be able to talk on there?

2GB cap? You on 3G or something?

No, it's actually 20Mbps Sky broadband, but we'll only actually get 1.5Mbps.

Sounds about right, Metty and I are in similar positions so

I thought that Sky BB wasn't that harshly capped, though?

We've both got slow speeds, but I know our limit's higher than 2GB and I expect yours is too, right? 2GB sounds incredibly harsh.

Yeah it's pretty harsh for me, but not for my mum who just wants to do some Internet shopping and emails every now and then. It's free with the Sky package. I'm not there long so I don't want to tie her in with a contract where she has to pay more for a higher limit.

The 1.5Mbps is all thanks to the exchange.

Yeah, 2GB = FREE. Sky literally give you 2GB of interwebs for nout. Not too bad deal for what it is.

Could be a blessing in disguise having no internet!

if it is i'm <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING>
maybe they wont notice the 112gb i went over by?

Virgin internet is gr8 NAAAAAAAT

Clearly I have no issues with Virgin

I really wish O2 had usage statistics

Possibly moving tomorrow which will mean I'm without the net for 3 days.

2GB should be enough for Mumble and my web dev stuff

I wish Virgin had usage statistics, thats from my router

My router doesn't have many features (before you say anything, was £20 at the time I got it and needed to check if my O2 provided router was being dodgy, which it was, and it actually works pretty well, once set up for O2 [hard - O2 has a very odd system], occasional DCHP issues, which are pretty easy to fix).

Moving in a few hours

Good luck, I hope it all goes smoothly.

bye bye aaron!!! hope you have some fun in your new place

MOVED IN AND GUESS WHAT INTERNET WORKS LOL

With a speed like that, maybe you won't have to worry about the download cap.
