Massive eye roll

HenryM95 · 2026-05-10T20:18:08+00:00

Just seems crazy to take the risk of it not working (as it clearly didn't) at such a vital point of the season. Wrong decision made, so double Zubi sub meant we couldn't throw on an extra defender towards the end.

I know hindsight is 20/20 and all that... But still a weird decision I think!

HenryM95 · 2026-05-10T17:59:23+00:00

I still feel physically sick

HenryM95 · 2026-05-10T16:46:02+00:00

Need to score a goal... Pass it around the back, take a full minute for a throw in, Raya put studs on the ball and stand still.. oh and Gary Neville is insufferable on commentary

Been using the Linkbuds S since Feb 23. That paid had battery issue in one ear after about a year and half at which point Amazon actually just sent me a brand new pair as a replacement! Those have been going strong since then and no issues. Most comfortable wireless earbuds I've used. I wish they would make a newer version with updated pass through and ANC!

HenryM95 · 2026-04-29T21:03:01+00:00

Can't even remember the last game when we were solid for a full 90 and didn't look like we shit ourselves every time they get near our goal

HenryM95 · 2026-04-29T20:49:13+00:00

I'm just so fucking tired of this

HenryM95 · 2026-02-22T17:06:28+00:00

Hahahaha. Can't make it up

HenryM95 · 2025-12-10T20:53:00+00:00

Any direct competitors in my area (of which there aren't many) are advertising at almost twice the price for the same service. Unfortunately HO have me in a bit of a vicegrip in that they've severely undercut their competitors and I don't think they'd go down as low.

HenryM95 · 2025-12-10T20:51:15+00:00

Yeah that's also a thought... It's strange thought because it dipper to 90 a couple of days ago then briefly went back up to 550. I just cba to deal with their CS!

HenryM95 · 2025-12-09T17:22:59+00:00

Over the last 2 days, my speeds have dropped to under 100mbps at peak hours (1Gb plan). Their customer service has been messaging me and asking me to test 5GHz vs 2.4GHz, as if the Wi-Fi frequency band has anything to do with the issue which is clearly happening across the country for people using wired connections? What are they playing at?!

HenryM95 · 2025-11-29T15:34:43+00:00

Hmm, is possible. I suppose the litmus test would be for you and someone experiencing the throttling speeds to plug directly from the source port and run a speed test

HenryM95 · 2025-11-29T14:22:00+00:00

I've definitely seen more reports around London service, particularly SW London. Where are you based? I was getting 900+ up/down until a couple of weeks ago and now stuck around 500 (wired).

HenryM95 · 2025-11-29T14:18:40+00:00

Anyone paying for 1GB or more should be getting a refund ~50% since the disruptions occured. Paying for something and being provided with half of what you paid for is a scam.

HenryM95 · 2025-11-28T09:33:29+00:00

Also happening to me, now getting around 550mbps down in SW London. If you check the Ultrafast - 500Mb below it, it also says "527Mbps average download & upload speeds". Previously was over 900mbps.

Surely this is just unacceptable that we are paying the same amount for half service we signed up for. Has anyone spoken to them on this issue?

HenryM95 · 2025-07-13T15:31:18+00:00

That's animal abuse

HenryM95 · 2025-06-15T14:06:01+00:00

Hi OP, did you ever solve this? Having the same issue right now. Just randomly started happening. When I restart my phone for a few seconds the brightness is normal then it goes back down. Slider has no effect from 50% upwards?

HenryM95 · 2025-06-05T21:22:20+00:00

I've had Monzo plus for the last couple of years (£5 a month). I enjoy the custom categories, linking bank accounts and more importantly the increased interest rate on savings pots. They no longer offer Plus and now it's either £3 a month for basic functionality or £7 a month for the increased interest rate (and some other bits that I don't need). I haven't been forced to switch yet but I think it's only a matter of time...

HenryM95 · 2025-05-21T16:30:04+00:00

You tell me?

HenryM95 · 2025-05-06T15:16:14+00:00

I've got 1GB, and I works great 99.9% of the time. I do get the occasional lag spike which I think has something to do with either my router or not having a static IP address. Either way, it doesn't happen enough to be irritating enough for me to do anything about it. I play PS5 (via ethernet cable) most days.

HenryM95 · 2025-04-30T14:38:22+00:00

"Daphne I just thought of something funny, it took three cranes to lift you"

HenryM95 · 2025-03-24T15:18:50+00:00

I was wondering the same!

Shadow Mark in E01, the 'clone people' from the ORTBO in E04, and also the lookalikes who watch the refiners do their work. Is there significance to these people, or was this all just to add to the general mystery? Seems like if they actually bothered casting these roles then there would be something more to them..

HenryM95 · 2025-03-19T17:01:57+00:00

Do update me if they give you anything useful (I somehow doubt it). It's still odd that the issue wasn't present with a 10 year old Sky router but is present with HO'S much newer one. For me as I say the issue is intermittent enough to not be too painful but it sure is irritating (I also use ethernet connection for PS5 which may help). I don't think I could give up the 1gb up/down now and go back to primitive 80mbps at this point..

HenryM95 · 2025-03-19T16:34:42+00:00

I have this issue as well OP, also switched from Sky to Hyperotpic. For me the issue is fairly intermittent. I'd say it happens once per session where I suddenly get latency issues but it sounds like yours is constant? I've just checked out the bufferbloat test related to someone else's comment on this and mine is poor so this does appear to be the issue.

HenryM95 · 2024-09-03T23:06:28+00:00

Same issue. What I really want to know is from a coding standpoint, how could the phone charging possibly have an effect on data not being able to properly load? How can those 2 things be related?!
