The Pointless Page

What a pointless forecast for this area as it did not mention rain for this area but it has been tipping down for the last two hours

Right there, JVB. It somewhat spoilt our morning out.

We had rain too yesterday, mainly just drizzle. 

Finally seemed to have located Broadband problem. When we moved in 30+ years ago I was working from home so had an extension to the landline put in. It would now seem that when the Broadband is connected,  it is through this extension line rather than the main line ,where there is no problem as we have recently tested over the last day or so. However to leave the broadband attached to his main line would need some alteration to the layout of the front room and hall to accommodate plugs. BT's won't come and upgrade the poor extension line as they said that the original owners should have had the foresight in the 1970's to have such alterations done!?.

it's a shame that our location doesn't have cable and the nearness of woodlannd makes other providers impossible. What's the feedback on Sky's Broadband or is it pointless looking anywhere else?

Lovely photos Brue. Autumn colours coming through.

Having a good day! (Not). After coming to a sort of temporary solution for the Broadband I have also had to arrange our energy supplier as our  current deal expires at the end of the month. Hate dealing with energy companies. Our current one couldn't get it into their head that our direct debit was set up at the start of the deal to cover the usage, give or take, for the full year. We asked them not to alter it up or down as usage would go up in winter (surprise) and down in summer(more surprise) but NO they just couldn't resist and I think we ended up paying roughly the agreed amount but never the same amount each month as requested and agreed by them. Pointless exercise.

Won't Sky's Broadband still use the BT infrastructure?

We have unreliable broadband due the distance from the nearest cabinet, nothing will improve it due to this so we're stuck with what we've got. I'm often on line and then everything stops or slows down, our new lap top has offered us more resources but nothing else to speed things up. Half our village is ok, we're in the wrong half! 

I am off out soon to see the musical Nine to Five tonight plus a meal at the theatre. Have a good evening all.  (Can't get the silly tune out of my head every time I think about it! )

This may be absolutely pointless but we are in a rural area in kent and had the same problem.  We now have callflow, from what i remember so many people had to sign up and then work was done on the cabinets and aerials were put up in some places.  I'm pretty sure the county council had to pay something as well.  We now have pretty good internet.
