Switched from BT back to Virgin Media a couple of weeks ago; there was a weird issue at first (some devices getting a 192.168.1.x IP address instead of 192.168.0.x, so they didn't have internet without a static IP assigned), but it's sorted itself out now and it's all going swimmingly. Fingers crossed they become a bit less stingy on the upload speed in the near-future. :p

If it's that bad, it'll probably need a resegment, which means waiting for council planning permission (hence the long wait).

 

They usually won't make you pay for broadband until it's fixed. 

Contacted the CEO's office a few weeks ago and got a reduction on the price until October (when they should be sorting the problem).  Yesterday the router reset itself for the 2nd time in the last couple of weeks - even resetting the password and forgetting the wireless we have set up.  But today, about 2 hours ago the speed was back up to normal - 40+, but right now it is down to 5-6.  Better than it has been for the past few months, but not what i'm paying for.

Replaced leased ARRIS WBM-760 (older 4x4 - had the chop called by Comcast itself) with personal ARRIS, formerly Motorola, SB-6183.

Comcast is doing 180Mbps down and 12Mbps up. I can't for the life of me understand why such a discrepancy between up and down. But I remember ten years ago a 1.5Mbps/768Kbps was a baller status speed, so we've definitely progressed.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
