Things that annoy you ?

[sifi]

People in the football thread who talk about their team as "united" or even worse "we". It's like a puzzle trying to work out who folk are talking about.

Black people. They annoy me.

When your Friday night is amazing and the rest of the weekend is dead boring in comparison.

when it takes 30 minutes and one reboot to post this because your new flatmate is hogging the bandwidth.

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

[RABun]

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 )

If it's cable, downloading stuff shouldn't really affect your browsing.

Sounds as if its a problem with what he is using, is it torrents?

[ampersand]

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...

If they change their contract in a way that is to your disadvantage, you're entitled to cancel it without any fees and keep any phones they've given you.

[ampersand]

aye he's awright, i just hate the advert.

"she's here."

aaaaaaaaargh naw!

[rexclark]

he could almost be in the inbetweeners with those acting skills!

[dakyras]

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.
