virgin bill up from 50-54.80

Glad I got rid of those crooks! £417.6 saving per year. My Smarty internet via SIM router is still only £20 a month, PAYG. Unlimited but slow, which for me is fine. The only issue is the rapidly changing IP address which confuses banking and some other login websites, occasionally Google will ask me to solve a captcha, thanks Three network... fixed by using a VPN. Afternoons, it really slows down to the point where Youtube videos don't play smoothly at 1080P, so I drop resolution down to 720P, which is fine because after a few seconds I focus on the information or story, not resolution.

Giffgaff on my phones and laptop, no price increases, also PAYG but not unlimited - I prefer buying network unlocked devices for flexibility, it's worth it. When on the road, I could use the Smarty SIM in another device.

Does your TV have a smart upscaler gizmo? I haven't bought anything 4k yet. The 43" VA panel monitor I bought a couple of years ago is 1080P.

it is this

fkn thing bends like a bit of paper only just got the fkn thing in the front room in its shed

My 43" monitor had a really thick giant clear sticker all over the front of the screen, and it was hell to remove. I've never had to remove such a mega sticky big thick sticker, had to go really slow in case I broke the screen. Slow like a glacier, after laying the screen flat and pulling it back very horizontally. Yes it was supposed to be removed.

If you can't find a setting to make 1080P blockiness go away, maybe try a box?

You don't want the 1080P video feed from the spy camera in Rolex chick's bedroom looking blocky either, unless she's blocky. Nothing wrong with liking blocky chicks by the way, if they float your boat. They're easy and like to eat.

Size is the snag, walked into curry's and saw 85 inch 8k (with images of smaller sizes inside, makes 65 inch look tiny). Anyway, wanted it, badly. Perhaps it's like gaming about distracting from escaping reality. Which may not be healthy, but defo good on a typical rainy English evening.

Well no, I am (as the gladiator in asterix said as he wheeled himself around on a trolley) in reduced circumstance, quite poor. But it doesn't stop the wanting things.

at 8k you wont even get 60fps you wont need any heating tho
