Hmmm, wonder just how many residential phone lines at 75 quid install plus 11/mth rental I have to order from BT before I use up all the spare capacity in the crappy aluminium cable up the hill & they put a nice working bit of copper in. They'll probably just refuse to supply another line here though rather than do that. bloody accountants.

Boored again, have asked Pipex to try converting my Business Highway line to ADSL. I think I'll just keep putting requests in with different ISPs until BT Holesale get fed up of me asking and give in and give me something! :)

Must be some way [ of getting off this planet other than getting high | get broadband here (excluding shitty satellite service limited to 750MB/week, we've got that, its pants)].

Am trying to persuade a local web design firm with a LL (leased line) down the road to let us buy some bandwidth off them, then put some mesh nodes with 802.11g WiFi in the few houses between us & the LL...

You know what? It's time for a nice cup of coffee with a generous splodge of brandy in it, a good book, and a 3hr soak in a nice bath.

Do I know how to party or what!

And remember boys and girls, if you get random SMSs, 10 times out of 10 they are spam.
(eg I just received "You have 1 new BPQ voicemail. please call 0871 210 4164 to listen to it". Would love to find these spammers / fraudsters, put them in the hole in the ground where BTs bloody aluminium cable is, drop some ferric oxide and a magnesium fuse, light and watch from a nice distance...)
