I can't see the point yet of 5gb and 10gb fibre in the home. My phone goes only up to 550mb.

so in a nut shell city fibre put connections in only to houses mostly with no virgin cable that was put in 15-20 years ago.

because 50m up the road some house do have it and some dont, there building 2 new houses at the top of the road and those wont have any connections for internet at all pmsl.

i can get 1gb from virgin but it is not fibre and still will have a crap upload speed but virgin does not seem to use the city fibre lines as not a option for direct fibre to the house not that it will go any faster down load anyway.

but my post code says i can have it ? from 12 different providers like giganet ect :rolleyes:

i dont want 100mb down load speed i want 1gb that means 10gb or 10.000mbps and buy virgins pricing that will be 500 quid a month.:rolleyes:
We had the original old fibre from long before Virgin bought the setup, it was called Cable back then. But years later Virgin installed the modern fibre along our main road. Then they updated by rewiring into the housing areas as each person wanted to be connected, exactly as I said.

The first in each housing zone was a loss leader, turning into profit as more got connected in each zone.

So I'd say unless it's an indie game or something, around 100 gb would be a good bet. The average game will average somewhere between 40–50GB. Unless it's Call of Duty coming in around 200GB. The good thing about the PS5 is it comes with 825GB SSD hard drive.

you got 2or 3 of them going at the same time then thats when you need fast down load speed or be sat there for hrs downloading the games and go get a 10tb nvme drive for the ps5 @7000mbs or it wont even work if its not that fast :rolleyes:

as for the cable to our house it is the same old thing they put in when telewest done it so there is no way i can use city fibre stuff yet it says i can have it at my address ?

i dont have a ps5 because if you only have a 800gb drive then that means deleting and downloading them to make space or spend thousands on a enterprise class nvme drive for a playstation :rolleyes:

but when i get my new pc it will have 10gb and 2.5gb on the mother board but there is no isp for that speed not that id pay 500 quid for it o_O

Just sell some of one of your gold bars? I should get into this weed growing lark early, and get established before it's very soon legalised. Where do you buy seeds?

Thanks - now all I've got to do is make some untraceable bitcoin, buy seeds using that bitcoin, and get it delievered to a recently vacated address I can break into and retrieve my parcel from, because it'll be worth it for the anonymity... otherwise if seeds get seized on the way to my house, the cops'll know where to raid immediately, or they might note the address and raid my house in about 6 months, or however long it tales to grow a crop... how long does it take to grow till harvest anyway?

Downloads from Microsoft's servers are the fastest - downloading images etc. is the only time my connection provides downloads at full advertised bandwidth, apart from when downloading Linux .ISOs via P2P.

Yes I forgot that seeds are legal to own, but not to grow. Where are they shipped from? Amazed they accept cash on delivery - more anonymous. I could order many just before I move. I don't smoke it, so I'd have to find a distributor, sell and try not to get arrested or shot before it's legalised, because they'll undoubtedly only issue licenses to people who pass a CRB check. After trading for some years, I'll be minted and finally be able to buy that kickass Asus you linked.

Don't seeds contain THC?

So which is your favourite? It puzzles me when people say this strain does this or that, becaue it's all just THC and all that should happen, is a greater or lesser effect according to THC content.

Maybe I could plead on medical grounds growing this "Medicial" strain?


...from what I've read, it'd be death for my eyes (CSR), but not if I sell it to get rich! I could buy new eyes when they become available, go all Steve Austin.

more thc the stronger it is tho it can mean less yield
Blimey, so if I can convince the interviewing Doctor that I need it to reduce the pain from my completely imaginary incurable condition, it'd just be the NHS prescription charge for regular weed?

Harley Street is full of weird Doctors - the last time I went there, a genuine quack hooked me up to a thing with electrode handgrips, which delivered electromagnetic "therapy" of some sort, which felt very odd. As he modulated the mysterious signals using some dials, I remember looking at his extremely strange arched and drawn out Ming The Merciless-style theatrical eyebrows, which had huge conical warts sticking out of them - read he'd died of cancer two years later, which is ironic because a tumour is the reason why a friend paid for that treatment on my behalf, because she couldn't convince me that it wasn't pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo which would have no positive effect whatsoever. I reckon he'd used this machine on himself too often, eventually killing himself with tumours.

An actual get out of jail free card then? I'm starting to wish I could smoke weed, so I can experience the satisfaction of getting away with it, feel part of the weed elite or Police force. Many years ago a now lost friend of mine had never used drugs before he joined the MET, hasn't been the same since: hookers, coke, weed, hookahs, smack, hookers, speed, Es... I have no idea what he's doing now.
