Cool - I want it, but wouldn't I have to know what his computer is called and stuff to be able to shut it down? Also i don't really want to shut it down i just want to pause his downloads long enough to download a tv programme from iplayer or something then switch them back on.

He did say he was downloading a few films yesterday and it seemed to clear up at about 10:30 but that was a bit late and i ended up taking my iphone off the network and watching tv on 3g, it was much quicker.

It was so bad i couldn't even view web pages last night. grrr

Yeah you would need to know the name but that should be fairly easy to find out using social engineering techniques and he's probably left the administrator password as blank like most people do. You could just use pskill to stop the process that's running the downloads of course. :)

(I think you may be right about the 'evil' thing :unsure: )

hmm, when i'm downloading torrents, it normally makes my computer go slow. assumed it was something to do with bandwith but when my brother downloads stuff (like last night) it doesnt seem to affect me...

I spoke to the person dealing with the complaint on Saturday, basically he says the above is an option for me but states they want the phone back (only had the contract 4 months)

Other option is to add on another 250mb data free (giving me 750mb) and a one off goodwill of £50.. pretty miserable offer so am gonna try for more or just cancel the contract.

That's how I understood it too, gonna phone him again tomorrow as from what I've read they can't get the phone back (especially when I paid a small amount for it too!)

If they give me a better deal I might stay, if not I will just leave.

    • You do get some weird swings here and there, so... Cypress Hill?
    • It was great, but I don't know why they continue to play Wide Lovely Eyes and Rings of Saturn, which are the weakest of the tracks off both PTSA and ST. Well, I do. It's cos they're about Suzie, so he can sing what he wants. They're the low points of the set. The rest is ace.
    • I didn't this time, but I've seen them before and just because you saw both that night doesn’t mean you can compare them. The Stones were great, but.you didn't think so and you went somewhere else looking for a good time and you found it. For whatever reason you didn't like it, but you were an outlier and all the reviews said they were great.
    • Annie Lennox could be the one to unite the whole forum, nobody has a bad word to say about her, even noted curmudgeon Skip 😄 I'd probably even amble along for a bit meself, and i'm also a miserable sod 
    • If the below link works - thats interesting.   While I don't particularly put much stock in that account as a source (never seen it before though, tbf), and I can pick a hole or two (see below) in what he says - the timing of it is a week before I had the Fontaines '27 stadium info (same stadium he says on there, Tottenham). The info, or part of it, matches up.   Holes I'd pick: I'd have to watch again but I THINK he says 'end of year' for Tottenham - not possible, for a number of reasons, though he's probably just got his words mixed up there. It's Summer '27, or that's what I've been told. He also says Glastonbury is/would be based on how the album does. That doesn't stack up to me, unless it was a 2028 thing. I suppose that could stack up, i.e a verbal agreement for 2028, but still seems a bit of an odd approach. I would personally still expect it to be 2027 alongside the stadium gigs, IF they are gonna do it, though I've still not got a Scooby when the album is gonna drop, only that the tour is due for Spring (or early) next year.   Interesting, nonetheless.   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaOB3Q9qkwW/
