    Is this BT infinity or BT's normal offering?

    I'm getting 21.25Mb download, 2.06Mb upload. I suspect I'm paying more than you.

    My standard BT broadband (I could have infinity if I wanted/needed it but haven't gone for it as yet) is 8Mb download, 0.8Mb upload, as a comparison. I could in theory get 35Mb here if I switched, but not a gamer or a big downloader, so don't see the point.

    I'm still so bloody tired after the treatment. Yesterday I had to go for a 40 minute snooze at work in the sick room. Today I thought I was going to fall asleep at my desk. This is driving me bananas.

    Yeah. I need to take a couple of months off to recover. I can't though so work has to put up with 6 months of me below par before I leave in Jan. Then I reckon I have another 18-24 months until I can do something less pointless with my life than working for idiots like this.

    I'm quite angry at the moment.

    Gen this pair of posts made me really angry for you. There's nothing I can say or do to help, but I really am angry that you've been put in this situation. Jerks.

    No, cable. For which we overpay.

    The fan on my laptop is suddenly very noisy. Is there a DIY cure?

    Is your laptop an apple?

    Evening all. Need to go back and catch up, but I just bought .co.uk and .com

    And it's not what I said before. Not that different, but not that. More playful, less 'brand' :o

    A lot of the apples have tiny fans that tend to get clogged. No idea about Toshes.

    I'm running my PC with the side of the case off. It's quieter that way.

    Some kind of BT (don't think it's infinity).

    Gas+Elec via nPower. Will be via someone (anyone) else just as soon as my account has been sorted out (assuming that ever actually happens).

    Best offer was a £157 saving and a £30 cashback. PC's playing up though, so didn't really look further into it all etc.

    As a low user slight price differences won't affect you too much so the best strategy is to circle between the 3 cheapest providers switching every 2 months and pocketing 30+ quid cashback each time - 6 switches per year = £180 cash back (tax free) for probably 3 hours effort :)
    I think....

    I've just bought a new Dell laptop for £160. I can't believe that it will do much at that price, but maybe I'll be surprised.

    There's a £50-60 fee to leave :)
