What provider are you with for fibre broadband? (This question can tell people a lot about a person... )

EDIT: I like that desk. It has so much storage space!!

Havent got one yet, it may be virgin or BT.

atm we are with BT because the missus loves talktalk and the channel recordings, but i want cheap(ish) fibre...

any recommendations?

Do you have a phone plan with EE? We are currently with EE after receiving £7.50 a month deal for fibre for like a year (and then £15.00 a month for the rest of the 18 month contract) - I just checked and EE customers get £10.00 a month less, which basically means I would've been paying £25.00 a month full price. However, we have extremely limited options (no Virgin or Talktalk, etc.) as we live in a more rural area - still get 25Mbps though, so can't complain.

But I hear BT has the strongest bandwith (although depends on where you are in the country), and some of the best customer service. My advice would be to shop around, but you haven't got loads of time methinks. Virgin often do the greatest deals of TV and broadband, but Sky have also upped their game a bit too. Plusnet are cheap and cheerful, and have reasonable good customer service, but I've had issues with them before.

One thing I can recommend - if you have kids, get an unlimited plan. They are uncontrollable on their electronic devices!

My missus says that the landlord can get us discounts with virgin fibre as he has many lettings which use the service, hence the deals.

just done some browsing and found BT offer the cheapest (excluding above deal) with up to 76mb DL with the postcode im going to.

guess i will have to wait, but whatever i get will beat this 19mb DL/ 2mb UL speed for £20 month lol

I still have nightmares about the 0.1Mbps DL that I used to have to endure back at my parents house. You'll be glad to know its been suitably upgraded now.

Ed Miliband used to narrate on the Night Garden Childrens programme, it's where he learnt his charismatic leadership skills.

Night Garden Childrens programme

I remember that. Child's version of the Hindenburg that makes farting noises right? Iggle Piggle and what not. Jolly good programme if you ask me, highly educational for our children.

Don't forget the random massive inflatable shape creatures things!

The Pinky Ponk you mean

 

[d1nky]

LOL at some of the shit said in here!

man ive just spent nearly £800 this weekend and not a PC part to show for it

 

[RCoon]

That is arguably one of the scariest things I've ever seen. All those blowup... things?... coming to get you all alone in the forest...

The Pinky Ponk you mean

I have no idea what that is. Is that the actual name of the farting balloon thing that transports the little golliwog family? (I'm not racist, I have a golliwog mug, power to the Pete)

In other news, apparently Britain holds 13 life sentence criminals in open prisons, and allow them to wander around out of the prison, on a more permanent basis.

You know you're bored when you're researching In the Night Garden. The Pinky Ponk is the weird farting balloon. There's also a Ninky Nonk, a weird noisy train. There's like six alien species which are all fairly scary. Welcome to the world of children's television.

The Tombiloos were my favourite, well actually they were my Grandaughters favourite but that's good enough for me.

Suggest we all change Avatars for 24 hours to Night Garden characters!

Maybe....

but i have no idea who Night Garden are - I dont follow the top 40 pop charts anymore - are they anything like one direction?

 

[RCoon]

Bare with me, I'll change it when I get to work this morning

EDIT: Look at me, I look like David Cameron!

 

[LaytonJnr]

We almost have a full set of characters now

I seem to be having a bad day today or something...
Just after ordering my new brand new spankin case from Scan yesterday, I was hoping to get a confirmation on my order today as it was bank holiday yesterday, but as soon as I go onto their website, they tell me that their customers service and the warehouse have been evacuated?! 0_o

P.S. I'll change my avatar as well when I have time to join this flashmob of yours

 

[d1nky]

These bank holidays have screwed the majority of deliveries over. I'm waiting for a few things to arrive.

P.s I'll change mine when I have a chance too

 

[RCoon]

I feel like we should try and get the rest of the forum on the bandwagon, not that any of them have a clue what the show is.

 

[R00kie]

@RCoon I have no clue who they are, look like English teletubbies or something

Ah I never saw telletubbies, was just a bit past my time as a child. I do recall a pancake eating hoover however.
I've seen one or two episodes of In the Night Garden because I have so many young ones in my family (Irish families have a tendency to breed rather a lot). Enough to understand the madness that is children's television.

Go for some Night Garden imagination rather than duplicate characters, there are more to choose from such as the Pontipines. Wottingers. Pinky Ponk. Ninky
Nonk and Haahoos!
