Virgin Media boss AND ex-Murdoch man: BSkyB broadband is 'lousy'

Poughing cash

Shame Virgin's not prepared to plough some cash into expansion. I'm on a new build estate and my cabinet supports ADSL only. No fibre at all. I'd switch to Virgin in heartbeat, but it has "no plans to cable that area". :(

'200 million' fanbois using iOS 7 just a week after release - study

Easy now...

I've upgraded to IOS 7, but I really wouldn't class myself as a fanboi. My contract's up next month and I'm seriously considering defecting to Android. Just need to convince myself to write-off my existing app purchases...

NORKS harbouring 3,000-strong cyber army, claims Seoul

Well...

It's definitely good to keep abreast of what the norks are up to. ;)

Coke? Windows 8 is Microsoft's 'Vista moment'. Again

Reading this page...

Off topic, but am I the only one finding these comments hard to read with the mahoosive orange Office 365 banner surrounding the content? My eyes keep getting drawn out to the sides and it's very annoying because I have to concentrate harder to read the middle!

Freesat downs own website after Downton quickie

Re: I switched from Sky to Freesat

@ Eponymous Cowherd: The thing I miss most is Eurosport. I'm more of a MotoGP fan than F1 and the BBC's coverage is so poor I don't even watch it any more. :( I also miss Dave, primarily because what I've seen of the new Red Dwarf series seems a return to form.

I also realised that my OP suggested baby was on the way now. The decision to switch was made back in August. Baby is well in situ and screaming the house down. ;)

I switched from Sky to Freesat

With a new baby on the way, we decided to can Sky's £50 per month HD pack (with no sports) and shell out the one-off fee for a Freesat recorder. We bought a Samsung box and we run it alongside subscriptions to both Netflix and LoveFilm. Works perfectly for us. Don't really miss those Sky channels as we realised we didn't watch them much anyway. Sky has now been trying to entice us back with 75% off. Too late for that, guys. You ripped us off for far too long!
