Three 45 gallon drums overflowing into  a 10 foot deep 15 foot diameter underground tank (~11,000 gallons) fed from all the downpipes from around the house. During one storm it filled one 45 gallon drum in 15 minutes. Approve

..and you won't notice any improvement in your internet connection, or download data-rates - only in peer to peer transfers between PCs on your home network, and only if both PCs are 108Mbps enabled.

That's a super G - but it will only do 108 Mbps if your PC/laptop supports 108 as well. Very likely it doesn't, most systems come with 54Mbps cards.

I am.  I should be able to get 108 Mbps.

This is the router:

So it's 802.11b not g.

You're complaining about 54 Mbps?  Ermm

If the router is communicating over 802.11g, that's the max bitrate anyway, regardless of the rate of the incoming data stream.

No, that's definitely about the people - always has been and always will be - I've had that thrown at me since the days of IIRC and Newsnet BBs - and sadly have to agree with them - I only stayed with them for the Ad-free free webspace and now that's gone.

Is that a bypass that means that all Alton, Medstead and Alresford residents pay our Internet bills?

Apparently it's okay in Swindon - obviously their Sainsurys aren't built like a giant Faraday cage like everyone elses.


I've no idea whether a mobile 'phone works in the Swindon branch of Sainsburys but I have a feeling it does.
