I would first like to start off by insulting BT, but I won’t despite the poor connection and general service, as in the end, they’re alright to most other customers I know. Then I want to introduce Sky Broadband. These guys are great. Built from the (as you can see below) Easynet infrastructure, they provide tonnes of bandwidth, on an incredibly fast connection.

7148kb/s is pretty impressive considering I am 50 miles from the exchange on a 8Mb/s connection. Technically speaking, they’re doing the impossible! I realised you probably wouldn’t enjoy …

First and foremost, I’d like to point out that I’m not a Mac user, and haven’t been for a long time. I won’t be for a long time, thanks to Apple’s ‘generous’ UK pricing scheme. The next thing I’d like to point out, which you are more than likely to know by now, considering you just pressed the link, is that Microsoft has released the latest version of Windows Live Messenger 7.0.
