Jings, reminds me of Event Horizon... eek!

BARDFINN:

Sadly not, because then I'd spend the time clutching my sides, tears streaming down my face because I was laughing so hard.

As it is I spend the time clutching my sides, tears streaming down my face because the stress is causing my intestines to prolapse.

I'm pretty sure that BT has been throttling my speed anyway for downloading a lot.

I phoned the bastards up the other day to ask why I was only getting 70-odd kbps. They asked if I downloaded a lot. I said yes. They said that a restriction had been placed on the line and I asked why. They said that they would remove the restriction, but to find out why it had been imposed they would have to connect me to another department.

Since this usually involves a couple of hours of listening to a badly-looped seven second segment of saxophone music (boy I'd like to per-play royalties on THAT piece of music) while you wait for someone who has no idea why you are there to condescend to talk to you, I declined.

Anyone else had this?

Perhaps that hand-cranked menu rotator fits the bill?

Still love you, boingboing. ~ish.

That number's a little over at 3:27. Zevon's 'The Overdraft' is 2:42, though.

Gorgeous design, but you're going down like a ton of bricks when some bright spark shoots you in the leg.

Cop "what?" (turns)

BT have just cut my broadband speed from +-4900kbps to 480kbps. No explanation, no contact; I discovered this after three quarters of an hour on the phone to their technical department going through the usual rigmarole of unplugging filters and power cycling my modem.

Apparently the maximum speed of my local exchange has been downgraded to allow them to connect more customers. Great. Has anyone else in London experienced the same thing?
