1.0 TB Hard Drive for ?333

[Barman]

I broke the terrabyte barrier ages ago 

I'll see your external drive and raise you a nested network data store.   




I thought Wench had a box of cables anyway and was therefore 'in'.

I bet you didn't pay ?249.00 for it tho!

Very true.    I had to stump up VAT

Do you also collect stamps? Own an anorak? Have a little note book full of engine numbers? 

Sad techno geeks own things like external hard drives and have their pcs networked and talk about hubs and bandwidth.

Bet he has all those! 

I am not a sad techno geek,  , I hope, yet I have all of the above and more, how else do you back up several computers,  use them in the garden or anywhere else in or on the property, share files with others, or download huge files at the speed of light? 

Uhmmmmm! Well first I don't have a need to do those things and second it don't matter what kit you've got.... you are still only as fast as your local exchange and nothing will tweak mine to over 56Mbs until they upgrade it ~ 'prolly in several years times.

   I had a similar problem..., did a lot of research, found an unbundled exchange and move in next door. 
I wanted to mover further when I discovered the speeds they can get in the Far East, but someone stood on my tail.

It doesn't really matter to me ~ I only type with three fingers anyway.

Actually, 56Mbps is a pretty decent speed to have.

........ unless you meant 56Kbps of course........

As for the three finger typing, it's still ahead of my two finger 'hunt and peck' technique.

Is that just half the fingers on each hand?

I just looked again. The little message that shows when I hover over the wireless icon at the bottom of the screen says 54Mpbs today.

As for Darwin's comment it is really two fingers, One from each hand and a thumb for the space bar.

Unfortunately, that is only the speed between your laptop and the wireless router?

I never claimed to be a geek but no amount of kit is going to improve it UNTIL the exchange is unbundled ~ is it

Dunno  -  Depends what speed the modem is operating at (at the line connection not the wireless link).

Or this one...

I always use Chicago for consistency?

For comparison, my ADSL service here gives 356kbps down and 31kbps up.

My cheapest satellite service is 512kbpos down and about 350kbps up.

Define 'cheapest'?
