Out here in the sticks on top of a Welsh mountain such things as fibre aren't a possibility :)

But then unlike the south east I have empty roads and few people :) I'll take that over fast adsl any day :)

+1, Same here for me, I have one option, BT, which runs at the heady speed of .25mb/s, Watching videos/tv online isn't an option unless you have a day or two to download it :(

I've signed up for BT Sport HD, which as I'm a broadband customer, I'm getting free, So you're welcome to nip round mine for the live bradcast, just bring lots of beer and nibbles :lol: :lol:

Oh yes . but would add my favourite all time racer Steve Baker (no 32)

Assume you guys have been watching the Unridables on ITV4 then? Story of the 500cc 2 stroke era.

Episode 1 available on ITV4 player, I think episode 2 (Doohan onwards) is this Wednesday.

no missed that .... although in my defence I tend to shy away from the ITV channels as they're infested with some of the worst celebrity dross. Ta for the heads up I'll go and have a look

A very good point, however even though I live in London, I generally only ride in the South Bucks, Oxon and Gloucestershire areas. It would be nice to step out of my front door and have it in front of me though. You're lucky to be where you are.

Now, I know they get a right slagging from all and sundry, but I've been with Tiscali/TalkTalk for years, and I've never had to contact them about anything, it always just works. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. (Thread hijack :oops: )
