Official: Sky to buy O2 and BE's home broadband product in £200m deal

Ploughmans Lunch

Re: Where to go then?

My brother was connected by Talk Talk late last year and is very impressed with them.

They are improving a hell of a lot, but lets face it they were appalling with customer service for many years.

Would I swap to Talk Talk? Maybe yes, I was with UKonline and transferred to SKY when they bought the former.

Although I've had no problems with my broadband and the customer service has been good I do feel that SKY is getting too dominant in the market and we need more competition not less.

Swedes? Every one I've met is either a manic depressive or a drunk.

Re: Daleks?

New Daleks, Epic FAIL.

Need to be replaced with the TV Offal "Gay Daleks", now that would be a massive improvement.

Re: Not Just Radio Amateurs

And a technically ignorant regulator who cares not a fig for anything but money.

Paris Hilton for the new Ofcom Boss please.

She could do a much better job than the inept nitwits running it now.

Re: Behind the US and not moving...

On the money HMB.

Ofcom care only about robbing everyone and are worse than low life estate agents.

The reason why Ofcom are so slow is that they've sacked anyone with any useful technical ability.

Paris Hilton angle? = Paris could run Ofcom better than the spotty yoofs that are screwing it up now.

Re: piffle

Epic fail psycho dude!

The Japanese tsunami disaster rescue operation had massive input from hundreds of Japanese amateur operators.

Many lives were saved thanks to their efforts.

The main technology used was good old fashioned shortwave radio communications.

Put that in your pipe & smoke it ducky.

Re: Learning about Amateur radio

Good grief old man you really like to monopolise the frequency.

Do you find other amateurs seem to vanish after you pass the transmission back to them?

I'll send you a tray of bread pudding to calm you down a bit.

Would you like sugar on it?

Paris Hilton

The Boss, really?

No he isn't, he's the son in law of the disgraced ex general manager of the RSGB who was/is involved in the recent court procedings for financial irregularities in the RSGB.

His title "Amateur Radio Manager - Carlos Eavis, G0AKI" as seen on the RSGB website seems to lack a description of his function.

What exactly does he do?

Uhhh answers please on a postcard....

Paris Hilton, well she hasn't a clue either.
