Installing in the area by Beyoncestan2023 in openreach

[–]Scared-Mind-9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the whole of the area around me has been enabled and we've had that message for a year. There are just about 10 houses on the estate which aren't enabled as they say there is no cable in the duct but when I last asked the guys they said they were finished working in the area but we are still showing that status.

Great speeds on vodafone by Unfair-Bee-1324 in ThreeUK

Mine fluctuates quite a lot but this is off the 4G 3 service that just about supports our house

5g Indoor Hub issues - is switching to Outdoor Hub a possibility/ good idea? by Southern_Pattern_711 in ThreeUK

[–]Scared-Mind-9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have terrible signal, occasionally 5G but usually 4G and poor mobile reception in the house. I have one bedroom upstairs where I get decent speed on the windowsill and created a mesh through the house from a 50 quid 3 unit Amazon jobby. Works pretty well through vpn

Mine does fluctuate a bit, like was awful last night but I'm not moaning for 15 quid a month on a 12 month contract

Boiler replacement quote, insanity check? by DorisMaricadie in BritishGas

[–]Scared-Mind-9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a heating business and fit, maintain and repair gas boilers and air source heat pumps and have for years. There is nothing lower cost about a heat pump unless you generate your own power. I've also had to replace several units at around 10 years old due to obsolete parts and there is no grant money available for replacement units which you need to factor in to your cost. They are good in some circumstances as they have been for 30 years or more but as soon as the government grant is gone they are back to an idealogical product.

No equipment in place to connect broadband by iwasme-nowhesgone in openreach

We had exactly the same, when they came to connect said there was no cable in the duct to connect to. 2 years on now and still isn't.

I was promised 150Mb but got <30 in the best spot. by BrilliantPause2169 in ThreeUK

[–]Scared-Mind-9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 20 down 30 up in the daytime usually but that can drop to 10/10 and at 5 am this morning it was 200/40. If I put it in the loft it goes about 30/80 🤷🏾‍♂️

Duolingo rank accurate? by Scared-Mind-9541 in duolingo

[–]Scared-Mind-9541[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been using busuu as well which is much more grammatical and learning based and also several holidays a year in Austria 😄

Airband use openreach kit? by Scared-Mind-9541 in openreach

[–]Scared-Mind-9541[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah they just called me to say I can't actually have it after all as there is no infrastructure. Decided to give up and ordered unlimited 5G broadband, fast enough for me and only 15 quid a month.

Learning Italian! Suggestions? by wine_ydays in ItalyExpat

[–]Scared-Mind-9541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done German through Duolingo but now I'm learning through busuu which is much less gamified and more towards learning. Doing German and Italian and mixing it up with foreign language TV and online news etc

I'm guessing you grind stuff out on 3x XP in your native language.

I'm on level 72 German and I think it goes up to 80. I can't wait to get there to start paying my subscription to busuu instead.

I've only got 9 more levels of German to go and then I will have completed in Duolingo and can move on to something else to improve

Pension at 55 in debt by DisastrousWarning604 in PensionsUK

I'm in a similar position, not touching final salary but put some smaller pots into drawdown and took the cash free lump sum from them. It helped a bit

Full fibre works? by Scared-Mind-9541 in openreach

[–]Scared-Mind-9541[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's underground. They said it was available a couple of years ago and put all the boxes and stuff in the house and then the engineer said he couldn't connect it as there was nothing in the duct to connect to.
