Talking New house and more importantly, new fibre to the home..

Howdy,

My lack of activity recently (not that its really noticable except in the welcome area ;¬o) has been due to me moving into a new house! And more importantly waiting to have the internet connection activated!

I'm now the pleased user of a 85Mb/s down, 5Mb/s up internet connection!

Now I have practically no excuse for slow thread post!

(sorry had to post about it, I remember when 300 baud was all I had to log into my BBS' and post ;¬D)

Makes our cable look not as good.

Nice that things have worked out.

Does that mean you can play mafia now?

Very nice. I think my next house move will be involving the question "can I get super fast Internet?"

New fibre? I guess the family won't be getting much new diarrhoea for a while. And the speed of your connection makes the NBN look shit.

Now all you need is to get it up to 88Mbits/sec and use a 121 terabyte hard drive and you'll be away in a DEL or EAN.
