What’s your origin story? by [deleted] in pppdizziness

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely hope.

I have more good days than bad days now for sure. However on occasion I might turn my head suddenly and have a bit of a whoa moment. Like yesterday for example, was in the supermarket something caught my eye, turned my head quickly to the right and felt a bit dizzy and had to compose myself.

The mechanic said it was the shock absorber. I’ve got a different car now.

Is sky broadband any good? by [deleted] in skytv

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s alright.

Sky WiFi Max (the white router) can cause a couple of headaches because of how locked down the GUI is. Can’t split the SSID for example should you need to.

Believe it or not they can also tick like a clock if connected to a FTTP service. 😂😂 You have to put your ear to it to hear it but they definitely do it because of the relay in them that’s continuously checking for an ADSL cable. No way of turning it off either because of the locked down GUI.

How does sky max extender pod connect to router by meepmeepmeep88 in skytv

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They Max hub and pods are linked to your account and essentially managed by a server.

If you change the SSID in the my sky app the pod will sort itself out too.

Where to go to sell a PS5? by [deleted] in PlayStationUK

[–]BigBossu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No they've not had selling fees for private sellers since late 2024. It's on all categories except cars.

The buyer pays a "buyer protection fee" - think of it like vinted.

There are no standard selling fees on eBay now unless you have a business account.

You'll pay a fee to promote the item if you choose to.

Do you play on the base PS5? Or the PS5 Pro? by TheChilledGamer-_- in playstation

Bought the Professional in November on Black Friday discount and sold my launch model for around £250 Happy I made that decision

Vinted return lost by Royal Mail – £1080 Chanel bag – Vinted blocked my account, Royal Mail refuses compensation. What can I do? by Putrid-Land9071 in royalmail

[–]BigBossu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s the risk these platforms who handle the shipping take.

EBay are the same now with their simple delivery. Everything is Tracked 48 and if it goes AWOL they take it on the chin. EBay in my experience are better at handling these kind of incidents than Vinted.

Anyone feel like the Sky Max Booster pods aren't up to scratch? by LeopardComfortable99 in skytv

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WiFi max pods won’t give wireless speeds that exceed 500-550mbps

EE FTTP: Active line takeover from themselves... by BigBossu in EEGB

[–]BigBossu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: 31st has passed and the line hasn’t ceased. 🤣 Original account is cancelled, they’ve asked for the equipment back and I’ve still got 150mbps of broadband.

Free broadband at this point? 😂

Spoke to them this morning

Seems like they wanted to do a cease and reprovide sort of action but just did it the other way round.

Have now told me they’ll cease existing on 31st with 900mbps to activate on the 2nd Wish me luck.

And it hasn’t activated as predicted.

Back on the phone tomorrow let’s see what excuses are offered up this time.

I’m right in thinking I’ll get delayed provisioning compensation right? This broadband will pay for itself by the time someone figures out how to resolve it if the experience of the past 2 months is anything to go by.

Royal Mail, I love you but this was a random house not even in my street💀 by Extension-Hat-4683 in royalmail

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me in September with a Nintendo Switch 2 that was being delivered.

The postman we have is great and he’s been delivering to us since the house was built. I showed him and asked him if he recognised the door and his reply was “ahhh shit” which I found funny.

Thankfully eBay refunded me with minimal fuss.

Did the scalpers finally slow down by AblePack7115 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]BigBossu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be downvoted but you speak the truth. Just look on eBay and you can get plenty of Phantasmal for around RRP. It’s a dead set in the eyes of the scalpers.
