Soda Jerk Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 You would be amazed how often the Sky or TalkTalk equipment is to blame, its the vein of my old mans working life, the shoddy equipment these companies use that he has to help them fix every day and the absolute morons they employ to fix their equipment. BT Hubs are toss too. Or they were anyway. The Hub4 is decent, but the old Hub2 I had previously was worthless. Had to be reset several times a day. It made it impossible to illegally stream football, the bastards. Replaced it with a cheapo Netgear one which was an improvement. Now I've got Infinity, I've not had to reset the router once since it was installed. I better not speak too highly of BT though, or I'll be deserving of a smack, or something.

Aye i was more meaning the equipment used in the exchanged, i think ive made my feelings on the hubs clear before, they are terrible most of the time, saying that like you ive only had to reset my infinity one once since i got it and the wifi in the flat has been much better. But dont get me started on the BT Vision box, my god what a piece of crap that thing is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have O2 broadband. Much cheaper than when I was with BT. And no usage allowance. Never had to reset the router (from what I remember) and never had any downtime issues, or had to call them. O2 broadband is now moving to Sky Broadband. They better be just as good.

The Milner Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'd be wary myself, i wouldnt trust Sky with my broadband, although im sure plenty of people have no issues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have Sky broadband and only have good things to say about it and Sky's service is generally pretty good. Especially in comparison with my experience with BT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Y'all don't know you're born. Try putting up with Virgin Broadband in Glasgow. Miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 The only issue I have with Sky is the calls I get every 6 months trying to get me to take a TV package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 The only issue I have with Sky is the calls I get every 6 months trying to get me to take a TV package.I've had one so far, when the move from O2 to Sky was first announced. I just said "Do I need to do anything, will there by any downtime and will by bills change?" They said No, I said thanks, bye. But yeah, I stream Netflix and NHL Gamecentre in HD with very little to no buffering issues. And I never go over any usage allowance and get charged extra (my main gripe from when I was with BT) so it's ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 BT are unlimited now. Been pretty happy with their broadband recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 no issues with sky, but since we have been with them a year the bills have slowly been going up, obviously charging us full price for all services. Want to quit and go fibre optic with someone, but i don't want to deal with talk talk, once bitten twice shy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Not content with taking F1 from me so that I get less stuff on TV that I like for the same license fee (and shame on the BBC for pooping their pants and ending their deal early), Sky then have the audacity to steal my ISP from me (Be). I switched ISPs as soon as I heard. Fuck Sky. I am rather cross with them and can't see myself doing any kind of business with them any time soon on that basis. Childish - possibly, but on the whole I'm a bridge burning bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) If someone takes you out for a meal at a restaurant that noone in your group has been to before, is it rude to critique the food? as in, because someone else is paying, am I allowed to say something like 'the steak was a bit tough, but the potatoes were really nice'? Or are you socially obliged to say it was all really nice? I did this the other day and my girlfriend said it was really rude. It wouldn't even have entered my mind that it was in any way rude - but maybe I'm wrong. To me, part of going out to eat is discussing the food, the decor, whatever and it's in no way a reflection on the level of appreciation you feel for the gesture of someone offering to pay. I mean, all of us really enjoyed both the food and the evening in general but I said something about my burger being not as good as my starter so it's not even as if I was sat there moaning the whole time, it was just an observation.
