Newbie very satisfied

Heanorman — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:01:22 GMT

:)Hi,
Joined Plusnet a couple of weeks ago and delighted with everything .
Having been with aol for 6 years and struggling every day, i thought that was how the internet was.
To be quite honest the only thing i am annoyed with, is the fact i have wasted 6 years of my life, and paid a high price [£££] for it.
Thank you Plusnet for everything, and to put the iceing on the cake i live in the Loscoe / Heanor area which is probably only 15 miles from Sheffield as the crow flies .
Plusnet make you feel one of the family with the way they leave a message on your answerphone asking if you are ok, and i must admit i have never spoke back because i must have got used to this hard world elsewhere of no contact.
The router is wonderful, push the wires in, switch on, and you are on the internet. This to my mind is unbelievable. Just wish i had another one as a spare [embedded with my serial number]. Will have to enquire about this on another board . Or maybe if i signed up for longer say 2 or 3 years i might be given another one free.
Next time i am in Sheffield i would like to call in at Plusnet Towers and give a big box of chocolates. [Room for bribery here, router, long contract, chocolates,photo of satisfied customer.
Thank you for everything my Plusnet.
All the best Graham ---------

Thanks for the feedback, and welcome to Plusnet and the Community Site.
Re the router, you could purchase another as a spare but tbh there's not much point as the one you have would be replaced if it became problematic inside a year.
If there's anything at all we can help you with please shout up.

Hi,
Just as a matter of interest how much do you charge for a second router, embedded of course.
If this is classified information perhaps you could email me.
Bit of a mad scientist really with a collection of old pc's and operating systems.
I like to keep main pc right [and router] and not play with, it and experiment with the rest.
Have got a bad track record of wrecking stuff, then binning it.
Sure i am going way off topic here , and perhaps need some correction.
Ps, serious tight wad really, but no harm in asking price.
Thanks, Graham

I think there are lots of people here who could rival you for bits of computer and networking kit lying around
A new router would set you back £40. It'd be the same model you have now, with the same firmware and features.

No, but these guys could sort you some

Feel free to arrange one, your Comms Team like parties and can be very helpful if plied with alcoholic beverages

I find question marks particularly useful in these instances, smileys are for smiley purposes

Why all the cobbled stones on Chesterfield market?

There are many things you could ask about Chesterfield, but we're probably best not knowing the answers

Quote from: Heanorman

'Cos we rock

Quote from: Heanorman

Dunno, but very very few people get banned from here, and you seem like a fairly amicable chap

Quote from: Heanorman

To cheer us up in readiness for the rain and cold coming now you've said that.

We don't have any, our moderators are lovely.

I just did

Morning all,
Blown 4 pair of speakers up :'(, through adding 3 metre wire, so i could have them next to me. Well they dont blow up, they just dont work, and when reduced back to original wire length, still dead. Tried them on 3 pc's and dead. Been up and down that b----- ladder into the loft more times than i can count.There were another 4 up there with question marks on them, which turned out to be useless anyway, so i am sat here with 7 pair of dead speakers and a tangle of wires.
Went to bed , and half slumbering, suddenly came back to life, remembering i had some nearly new netto tv surround speakers in the loft which i bought a couple of years ago for a project which failed at the time. Out of bed at 3.30 am, up the loft again, about 6 speakers a vertical amplifier and about half a mile of tangled wires. : Thought well i can put the main speaker and amplifier where i sit [with 3 metre of added wire as before]. and i dont have to turn them on. If i turn them on the sound card might blow :-\, or even worse. A lot worse.
Typed American Radio in google and clicked on the first one and a list of radio station came up. :-\Clicked on something like ''country and western'' from Dallas or wherever, and it started playing. But of course ime not that daft, the speakers werent switched on.
Well go on then, if it all goes wrong i can blame Plusnet. I can spend Monday thinking of something.
Turned the volume knob on the amplifier right down and gently pressed the power button. Tammy winette [poor at spelling] was whispering a song. In for a penny in for a pound, took the bold decision to turn the volume up and --------- WONDERFUL like a rolls royce
Got to stay in today, my new router might come by special delivery.
All the best, and have a nice Monday Graham--===============
