I have been lucky the past month. A neighbour has been allowing me to use her broadband connection.

But today the connection has gone down so I am having to use my broadband dongle and it is awful. It’s slow and drops out occasionally. and of course it’s not cheap.

To be fair I seem to be living in a reception black-hole even my tv needs a boosted aerial and I’m on the top floor. Not too far away you could stick a coat hanger in the aerial socket and get a brilliant signal.
