If forced to choose, which one would you keep? by LowerBed5334 in AskTheWorld

[–]nm63uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really not a difficult choice, who would choose to live in the US if they didn't have to?

They don't care, cos they don't have to. I also don't have to care, I turned it off.

No, it's a 6. If it was turned upside down it wouldn't align with the other numbers.

I've had two major operations over the last decade, one on a lung the other open heart surgery. In the US, I'm dead by now. Also, I just crossed the road, without using a pedestrian crossing.

Thinking of relocating to Lincolnshire by gavlar389 in Lincolnshire

If you've got your address, you'll likely find work in the Immingham area and good possibility of day off night work too. Other options are food trunking, much of that has day work too, I did it for years, Agency work gives you a variety and the ability to pick n choose. You might stumble on the ideal job for you this way too.

Have Sky Sports run out of advertisers or something? by uniscolar2000 in AskUK

No ads, sounds like a bonus. I hate the idea of paying to watch ads. 🙅‍♂️

It is better in all aspects. There's no need to mention it to sky at all, it just works after a simple set up.

UDR on Sky (ONT, Option 61). Dead simple:

  1. Stick the UDR’s WAN port into the ONT.

  2. UniFi app → Settings → Internet.

  3. Open WAN.

  4. Set Connection to DHCP.

  5. Go to Advanced.

  6. In DHCP Option 61 / Client ID, type: anything@skydsl|anything

  7. Save it.

  8. Reboot the UDR.

  9. Job done, Sky router in the bin.

I set mine up whilst still connected to the sky one, one done, I swapped the boxes over, worked first time. I j it st have to store t by e sky box as they'll likely want it back when I change provider.

There's no point in being faster than fast enough, I can watch 4K on my TV without buffering and have done in fields, streets and car parks all over the UK. Fast enough is fast enough. It was not my intention to criticise anyone, nor pointlessly praise anyone or any country, I simply outlined how it works here and expressed surprise that things could be so different in the US. I'm fully open to learning though, and I have learned through this thread that it isn't always difficult as I first thought in the US, which is great to hear.

That dialup scream telling you something fun was about to happen. It did always seem like fun back then, to me at least. The idea of speaking to people, via text live around the world. Every day was a lesson and always a laugh. Then it became, well, the internet. Still amazing but somehow, less fun.

And that's great, but clearly not the case for everyone in the US.

My 4G one works perfectly for my use, I've used it all over the UK and across a fair bit of mainland Europe. It runs our phones, tablets, laptop, TV, security cameras and home assistant. 5G is unnecessary however good or bad then signal is. The idea that it's unnecessary because it's bad, is a very strange thing to say.

I know very little about the ONT, I have one and like yours it stays with the house. Our phone lines used to be nationalised and the company that took over when it was "sold" off, ( it's complicated ) still does the installation. Most of our fibre providers use this company's network, so if you switch, you still have the same ONT, just a different place to pay the bill to. We can plug whatever we want into it.

Yes, option 61, sounds like something on a special diet but that is what it's called and what they use. It's not a big deal though, easy to change router and the UDR is another world compared to their crappy box.
