My friend still uses it. His dad won't let him share his broadband, and BT won't let him have two broadband connections in one home...for some reason. So he's stuck with it. x

Why won't his dad let him use the net? That's a bit harsh. :lol:

He should get Virgin, you can have both a cable and an ADSL connection.

Totally expecting 'wankers' from the first post. Thread does not deliver.

quite a few people still can't get broadband because of their location, think countryside locations.

Same. But Cyburn is not constrained by social norms. He is an avant-garde thread maker. He will deliver us from the slew of "Wankers!" topics which eat away at this forum like a cancer. HAIL EMPEROR CYBURN.

HAIL.

I know, I feel very sorry for him. He enjoys downloading music and other such things so it really is a pain in the arse. I did not know about the Virgin thing, I will get him to check it out, thanks! x

He could just get his dad to stop being a dick and buy a router himself.

Or one of those mobile broadband dongles. They're gooseberry fool, but better than dial up.
