Yeah, I get that it's not insignificant but it's not just a router, it's also uploading my packets to a fast moving object around 340 miles away. I'd like for it to be less but I'd also like for Openreach to put a g

If you can get high speed, low latency, affordable internet access another way then Starlink probably isn't for you. We've just moved to a place where our only other option was a £400 a month leased line delivering synchronous 100

I’m no fan but it’s reductive to call them rebadged Peugeots. Like just about any car you buy, including a Rolls Royce, they are built using a shared platform. In this case, it’s one of the Stellantis platforms.

No. On paper, the BBC is independent of the UK government. Its funding comes from a licence fee rather than general taxation in order to emphasise that. In practice, the BBC is part of the establishment but that doesn’t mean it is an arm of

What sort of problems did you encounter drilling two 60m deep holes? How wide are they?

Don’t forget that you start to lose the personal allowance over £100k so there’s a point at which the marginal tax rate is around 60%.

Ah, Rabbit was amazing. A “mobile” you could use within a few feet of specific locations. As for Ionica, it wasn’t that long ago that you would still see the dishes on roofs and chimneys in the Midlands. Its downfall, though, was less to do
