"broadband" hah

mindygoths company decided she needs broadband, so are getting BT Business satellite 500/1 for her.
Which, upon reading the BT openwound website ["fair share"] policy, doesn't mean 500Kbits/sec with a contention ratio of 1 (ie just her), it means just one PC. No lan, lan naughty. And the bloody bt openwound account will have a throughput limit of 750Mb per week after which one gets throttled, and further occurances of exceeding the data count limit means users "will be contacted by the Help Desk to discuss ways to change their usage patterns.".

WTF?

Yes, she'll be able to get big attachments (oh err missus) quickly, as long as she doesn't do it too often in the week...

I think I need to get my own satellite provider. One without such silly throttling limits. (500Kbps=apx 36Gb per week, so with a data throughput quote of 750Mb, she can only use 2% of the potential bandwidth!)

Ah well. Back to tins of baked beans and string. No naughty downloading videos or music for me.

(no subject)

Mmmmm, Thorntons milk chocholate Almond Butter Crunch.
from the fridge, just absolutely *delicious*.

No calories either! (none described on the bag so must be Zero. which is nice)

Xbox : Burnout 2

Right, that's all cars & courses unlocked in Burnout 2, gold medals won in all the grand prixs.
Now to go and do the same in all the crash modes.

We like crash mode on Burnout 2. Just don't let Dannage near the console, for verilly wilst he wipe thine high score out! :)


In Other News : Still no job or work. Got used to the depression, I think.
Will continue to rely on mindygoth for food drink & electricity :)
