Thanks Ferdz, yeah it was a fun ride out, the weather is a bit cooler now.

that was a beautiful little town definatly, i like those roads, but they seem so narrow to me, especially when they let the cars park on the side.

Posted May 18, 08 by Swipe
Yep they are very narrow, you do get used to it though, just have to be extra vigilant.

My ISP throttles the speed if(When) I exceed my monthly download limit. I have 4gb btn 8am & midnight and another 4gb from then "till 8am.

My Father was a GP and an Anaesthetist in the UK up til the "60's when he and many many collegues left for Australia, more...

Yep, I'd heard you guys had it bad for bandwidth caps and throttling over in OZ.

Yeah, I think most I know have some relatives that jumped ship to OZ in the 60s for a new life. I guess the world is pretty much your oyster if you are a GP, relocation wise. more...

that road through the town with the brick wall on the right side was sweet. so jealous :)

Posted May 17, 08 by Swipe
Yep, that's probably one of the most picturesque towns around here. There's more footage in the video link in that bbc news article link in the description.

I'm with BT also. We're running 8 things through it including LAN, 3x laptops, Xbox live, BT Vision and a couple of HTC 620. They all work together seamlessly, so I can't grumble.

Nice to see you do a life-saver check before overtaking. I wouldn't more...

Posted May 17, 08 by Swipe
Yep, I'm reasonably impressed with this BT Broadband speed wise seeing as we are located in the sticks. I think it's only gone down once since my mum signed up for it nearly 9 months ago. It did crap out the other night at 12am but was back up at 7am.

I sure hope you don't stop your rides Swipe. The old man here looks forward to my ride alongs. What a lovely town you passed through, you show me scenery I'll never get to see otherwise. Thank you my friend.

Posted May 16, 08 by Swipe
Thanks Larry, that's nice to know. As long as I still have the bike, camera, something to talk about and an Internet connection I hope to keep pumping them out.

The geographical center of England ... Reminds me of the old story ( I'm sure you must have heard it) of the British sailor who decided that he'd had enough of the sea. Started walking inland from the coast with a rowing oar slung over his shoulder, more...

ha nice story

Posted May 16, 08 by Swipe
lol, I'd not heard that one before DP. Cheers.

The thing about bandwidth caps is they are just stupid. If they want to limit your data transfers, they should just throttle the bandwidth.

Posted May 16, 08 by Swipe
The UK is lagging behind again in its broadband infrastructure. Same old story, no one is prepared to make the investment to improve it. Even France is spending a shedload on upgrading to fibre to the doorstep. They are all complaining now that P2P is more...

Posted May 16, 08 by BuddyChrist
:-O
no way. I'd rather have a set limit, then see my internet get slower. If I go over the limit charge me, or I'll upgrade to a tier of service with higher transfer limits.

Posted May 16, 08 by SuburbanRider
They are talking about bandwidth caps here in the US. Fowl creatures those ISP's

Posted May 16, 08 by Swipe
Yeah, most here now are tarriffed, to be honest, I've never had problems with my cable. I managed to cut a deal with them.
