Ket, good luck, just remember never switch to the free 2mbps package. It will make you tear your hair out. xD

Thats a good deal! i'm guessing you've taken thier TV and phone package with that aswel though?

Hopefully you'll get more of the 20mb unlike most others i know who's had that and average 8 - 10 mb.

I actually know someone on that, and they've not got a bad word to say about it, but then again it's a woman who only likes to use msn and the odd bit of browsing

[Ketxxx]

My nearest exchange is ~50 miles from me, so I should get about 15Mbit really. I did pick their whole package, but even with just the internet it was a good deal, £15 month.

Ket


De-lidded & lapped E4400 £35 inc. shipping
Lapped E7200 £35 inc. shipping (held for tigs till end of the week)

Think i may be interested in either of those... hopefully the E7200 if tigger don't have it

Its pretty guaranteed tigs will be taking the E7200, like 99%. Best grab the E4400 while its still available

You got Sky TV?

[Ketxxx]

Nope. Literally just their broadband package they been bugging me about for months. Try them again.

@ Ket - I'm waiting for my money from the job centre and that should come tomorrow so hopefully it'll go well and it'll come when they said it will. Just a few questions: Whats de-lidded mean? and how's it go for overclocking?

[Ketxxx]

De-lidded just means the IHS I have taken off for the extremists. I still have the IHS tho for those that need to use it for their cooling solution. All you have to do is put a little TIM between the core and IHS and it works just as before it was de-lidded. As for OCs, had it to 3.2GHz 400FSB on my old AW9D Max, but I forget at what voltage.

Sounds good, bad news is i've just been on the phone to the joke shop (job centre) they've suspended my claim for one week though, so i'll only be getting £50 this week and won't be able to afford the chip

[Ketxxx]

Why have they suspended one week of your claim? Sounds like your local job centre are a bunch of arseholes.

[KieranD]

whats that spending benefits on computer parts?
and people moan about scrounger typical UK

You got them spot on!!!

Apparently my job search has not been upto scratch even though i have filled in my job log with 11 job's i've applied for, the actual reason they suspended my claim is because i haven't used thier services to look for work (i've actually been looking via third party websites and/or directly at companies).

They're being pretty sadistic about it to be honest.

[KieranD]

dont worry about it they are like that to everyone, i have a family member looking for work hes had better luck asking old mates and people he used to work with the job centre is a joke like you did say

I actually can't afford to spend it on computer parts (not that often anyways) i always put bills before my want want wants, lol.

[Ketxxx]

Thats retarded. When I had to do that stuff as long as they could see I was trying they didn't care how I went about it. I would appeal their idiotic decision.

... and that is exactly what i'm going down to do tomorrow!

[Gzero]

Do they force anyone whos not got an appointment out at yours too?

They have a security guard to sit and point to which way your meant to go sit and wait at... and it is an open plan area, a sign would probably be cheaper.

Please note:

Sky Broadband is exclusive to Sky TV customers.

[Ketxxx]

Thats not how it is for me. Even on skys site if I just wanted to select broadband I can. I dunno, their messed up like most large corporations lol.

Hahaha, they do, i even took my little brother with me the other week n he sat waiting around (he's under 16) and they asked him what he was in there for, so i had to go over to them and say "look mate he's waiting for me so just leave him alone" the guy gave me a funny look, and it looked like he wer guna say sumat but then a few other youths came in so he went to them

[Gzero]

Hint hint, get him practicing on the crappy touch screens. Why the heck do they say I have to come in 10 minutes before sign in to look on the directories for a job, when I can do it from home and on my mobile (if I was really desparate)?

Grr it's like a big F' you for not finding work while we sit here all day doing nothing but pretend work.

And another thing, employers only looking for 2:1 students, go stick your head down the loo and flush a few times. Just because one sucks in an exam doesn't mean they can't do the same job. :/

[Gzero]

Let not the UK club house thread die!

What's the cheapest thing you have ordered online (including p&p and must be from a shop)?

Just got a 8cm akasa blue led fan for £2.78 free delivery. It's damn hard finding items for less than £2.
