The interweb, it lives!
We appear to be back on the digital highway with increased bandwidth slightly earlier than advertised!
We weren't due to be re-connected until the 25th (this Thursday) but i figured i would connect everything up and see if our Wii would interact with our router. I didn't actually get that far because as soon as i logged into the router software it showed an active broadband connection! So i disconnected the dial up...still connected. So it appears to be working!
I daren't tell plus net about it, incase there's some problem with it being this early orsomething lol. I'll just leave it be and reap the benefits :D
in other news, our landline phone appeared to have been rendered fubar during our move. So today we bought ourselves a future proof voip landline phone. It integrates with windows live messenger as well so people using live messenger can ring us from messenger and us pick up the call through our landline phone!
I don't think we'll use it a huge amount initially, but i can see voip becoming bigger over the coming years. Plus i already get 250 minutes of free internet calls from plusnet as part of our broadband subscription. Might as well make use of them!
