iPlayer & Other Online Streaming: Hidden Costs? Page 3

I haven't got a mouse,I did have one, but the little wheel seem to attract Belly Button type hair so I threw it away.

I was going to buy another one but then I remembered something I think I saw on Tenko or that fat F**king Ray Mears made for some Pygmies while he ate them out of house and hut.

Basically wash out a small empty tin of Heinz Spaghetti hoops (Take label off for reception & Copyright reasons)

Then covertly get some copper wire (Old folks home smoke detectors are a good source)

Punch two holes in the can using half a fork (Middle prongs bent back) or stab it twice with your flick knife.

Then put the wire through the two holes in the can and then ram he other end of the wire into the Esc button on your keyboard and your up and running.

It shouldn't be possible. Even if it were uncompressed, CD-quality audio it would be well under a gigabyte. Is it possible that someone else is using your connection?

I average 250 GB per month.

This is what I'm hoping. Even when I listened to about 3 hours a week I still didn't go other at the end of the month.

I've now uninstalled the Think Broadband monitor.

Time will tell. I'll update tomorrow on this after I've seen BT's update.

Does it have to be spaghetti hoops? Is it because their hoopiness leaves a homeopathic impression of space, allowing the information to flow more freely?

No its because Asdas smart price tins have a low metal content and I won't buy Branston because they're f**king Nazis!

Why are Branston nazis?

I'm not one for gossiping but I heard that the recipe for the sauce that they use on there spaghetti hoops was originally found in a raincoat that used to belong to Hitler, true story.

'Keep him talking. I'll phone,'

But will they understand your accent duck? They would probably think it was Roy Wood and Geoff Lynn back on the acid and doing crank calls.

Teddy I find I get brilliant reception and superfast BB from Branston- maybe it's the link to Virgin?

No its the fact that the metal they use is the same as on the MKIIII Tiger Panzer, you could be using the tin that was responsible for the fall of Belarus, have you no morals.

I've been with BT for over a month now after movign and got a good upfront deal. I'm have now been warned about over useage so I'm now going to just upgrade for a few quid a month.

I don't want to do it online though for fear I will be buying two packages and having to spend three weeks on the phone trying to rectify it.

My broadband costs a tenner and is superfast with 02, unlimited.

There is a free online test to check speeds in your area, good luck!

UPDATE: The free monitor I downloaded told me I'd used 4GB in 4 hours yesterday. I checked the BT monitor and it tells me I used less than 0.8GB.

Panic over!

Thanks for your help, though

TB what are these online moniters ? like to check our useage, even though we are unlimited.

The free one is called Think Broadband which you can get from a Google search. The BT one is in my online account where I pay bills and shiz, but O2 should have one in your account, I guess.
