    Broadband Speed Part 2

    It's unsurprisingly more satisfying than the broadband speeds ;o) I'm currently sampling Casa Grande Surf Hostel on Tenerife and for a small island in the North Atlantic the Broadband speeds are not that far off the mainland Oddly it says Madrid is under 50 Miles from Tenerife, somehow I...

    Broadband Speed Part 2

    I'm visiting friends in Morocco at the moment, 3G/4G where available isn't that bad and the download speed on ADSL2 isn't that bad but the upload is horrid: Someone would do well in introducing them to cable broadband

    Android Phone unlock possible ?

    No, not really but I was pointing out I tried using a giffgaff number and info on the O2 unlock page as CH has put other details into the Three page, in my case it returned an error saying the phone number wasn't an O2 numebr, at least the Three page accepted the O2 details CH entered.

    Android Phone unlock possible ?

    Android Phone unlock possible ?

    Giffgaff do indeed use O2 (which is also owned by the same parent company, Telefonica). Three can still unlock the phone, even if you didn't hold the original contract but you need an active Three pay as you go SIM and credit on, you might have to leave the SIM in the phone for a while (O2 say...

    Not Another one 2016 - RIP Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds

    It's all a big conspiracy: The BBC had pre-prepared obituaries ready to run, where they pre-warned? I know they have the book with pre-prepared obituaries for the Royal Family (as do most, if not all commercial radio and TV stations) but I never thought they'd have a book on "notable people"...
