The joys of faster internet

Finally today my 8mb internet connection was turned on, and yes thats slow now compared to most places in the world now (I’m looking at you Japan), and the fact that the lines used here in the UK are from when phones were first invented the one I use can only handle 3mb but its 2mb faster then what I was on before so I am very happy, and a big plus, no more AOL. Since I first got the internet I have been with AOL (I was with a couple of other but also had AOL at the same time. Don’t ask why, my dad was paying for it so it was his choice). When I first used AOL I quite liked it, it had a couple of fun multiplayer games… Splatterball and some space ship one, but then they were taken away, and I found that chat rooms are a scary place to be with people pretty much stalking others on there.

But now after about 10 years with them, I have finally changed to O2. Is very cheap since they are also my mobile phone provider. Just hope it continues to do this well.

Oh, and I will be doing a couple more “my views” soon, GTA IV and Mario Kart. and maybe a Wii Fit update but I havn’t been on it for a while… oops! what was the purpose of that again?

oh and for a closing note, and this is something I have tried writing a couple of times now but has just turned into shouting. I live close to Manchester, UK and work there and last wedesday I witnessed the Rangers fans on mass “invade” the City Centre and when following the events all day and night and then seeing some of the result back in Manchester the following day… and many blog reading, and viewing of pictures and video of the riot which happened made me very angry. Manchester is one of my favourite places to be and to see it pretty much “ruined” in one night by a bunch of pissed up hooligans made me very sad. I like football… and Scotland, but to see what those Rangers fans did last wednesday night, and then to be supported by the Scottish Conservative party who said “Manchester is to blame”… well I just hope Glasgow holds a Major sporting event soon and then the Scottish Conservative party can witness there city being destroyed… hopefully by their own Rangers fans. Let there police force be beaten to the ground and stamped on.

HELP! UK Broadband Info!

Ok I can finally be free from AOL this month, after many many years of having them as my provider I can now, very happily say bye bye to them.

I have done some research into other ISP’s but what I need is peoples honest answers, if you could tell me who you are with and what package and your thoughts and/or your recommendations.

Im looking for speeds of 2mb+ unlimited, and less then £20 a month, I had looked at o2 but have herd bad reports from them.

So… please, all I ask for is 2 minutes of your time… I will be very grateful

and to start the recommendations off I shall give you mine, NEVER EVER GO WITH AOL! rubbish service, rubbish help (today when phoning to cancel and get the MAC key they told us they will email it and that its not the law to just give it to us…. when in a matter of fact it is) basically just rubbish… avoid!
