But ...Love the slow-growing snail in your picture!<br /><br />But that's a really good picture of life in the go-getting electronic world of Milton Keynes. Theoretically I'm only 250m from the nearest 3G mast, but in practice can only get GPRS half the time. It's not all about proximity or signal strength! But then this go-ahead city has pathetic cable which isn't ever going to be suitable for Internet, and nobody is being forced to take action. So we're either on mobile, or on broadband which for me, like many thousands of others and some significant businesses, is too far from the nearest exchange for anything brave to happen there. Come on HMG, what about some competition here!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954107540860171789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-63020224739746729082009-05-10T16:01:00.000+01:002009-05-10T16:01:00.000+01:00Availability of a fast data connection is still pr...Availability of a fast data connection is still pretty patchy, even in quite populous places. <br /><br />We get almost no signal of any sort on O2 in our corner of Arborfield, and at St James it is dependant on which side of the building we are - one side is GPRS, the other 3G. Whilst in both of those places we've got wi-fi routers and broadband, people in parts of North Finchampstead can't even get that as they are so far from the Eversley telephone exchange that the ADSL signal is non-existent.Richardhttp://www.peat.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-87221148727734712212009-05-10T13:03:00.000+01:002009-05-10T13:03:00.000+01:00Erm - I think blogging about the speed of your don...Erm - I think blogging about the speed of your dongle might be a sign of Internet addiction. GET HELP! LOL ;) <br /><br />Yes a speeded up infrastructure would be great, then they might stop those irritating BT adverts with Nick out of My Family who (if I'm following the story properly) seems to have just got his girlfriend pregnant because his broadband connection failed.Pam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952001402591649389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-39223552861035535842009-05-10T11:49:00.000+01:002009-05-10T11:49:00.000+01:00I wish they'd do it here.
I went to a conference...I wish they'd do it here. <br /><br />I went to a conference last week, and though they had a WiFi setup at the centre, I couldn't connect to it, so had to wait till I got home to blog about it. <br /><br />I don't know about Fred the Shred, but we could have saved a bundle on Jake the Fake's ordin... sorry, inauguration.Steve Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283123400540587033noreply@blogger.com
