BT Home Hub 3 review
What a peace of ****, I know ISP given free routers are generally poor quality but this one takes a cake,
1) Wireless
If you are connection any thing more than 5 equipement router struggles to cope you might think 5 is a lot of equipments, but with smart phone , tablets etc 2 people house hold will have 5+ items. Good thing ASA upheld the complaint about their Misleading Most Reliable Wireless Connection Claim
Another thing Home Hub 3 will automatically enables BTFON their is no way to turn this off on the router. It’s secure but still BT should have given me the choice not enable it by default.
2)wired
only 100mb ports connection is ok but not much their to write about
3)DHCP
Router has DHCP server but you can’t change the DNS on that I think it’s to do with BTFON. If you use opendns, google dns or your own DNS then you have to manually change the dns server.
4) router interface
Full of BT adverts their net protect plus and some other **** product I dont care about. Advanced setting dont have any thing advanced
5) No root acceess
BT give you a user call admin on that box but can’t have a root access (some one need to crack this box I can donate this box for free to any one in few days
I have ordered Linksys E4200 Dual-Band N Router
ice age 3d
Went to watch it yesterday not a bad movie, had few money moments then again it’s a kids movie so can’t expect more. disappointed with Park Royal Vue cinema, Customer service is very poor . Staffs are like robos not going there any more
What a drama to buy iphone 3gs 16gb on payG
1st we went to carphonewarehosue , the guy there gave a big lecture about he can only sell 1 phone per/person etc. Made us to wait 30 mins and took all my details and said o we can’t sell iphone 3GS 16gb on pay as you and ask us to go to an o2 store. Because of this guy delayed us O2 shop was closed.
Finally bought it on apple store. Even apple store messed it all up, as their top up thing didn’t work but they were nice about it let us have the phone I might do a un-boxing video
.
I would never go to carphonewarehosue again.
Smart phones
God where do I start, at one point we didn’t have much choice just windows mobile and blackberry. Very expensive and have to pay ton of money to use them etc ,even then they were lot of phones but still very few Os that run on the phones,
Now lots of different smart phone OSes. all got their plus and minuses sadly we can’t format and install what ever we like. All locked to the hardware.
I like android phones looks nice and well integrate with Google services. I think palm pre is just a gimmick. I don’t like the hand control things will work for me and such a girly phone, not sure they will have it here in UK. but even i they do I wont get it.
I’m not well excited about the new iphone as well. Looks nice again very expensive if u have to go 4 that 32gb one,.
Don’t buy Belkin Linkstation pro drives
God the worse network drive ever, every one I know having trouble with it. I bought 2 and 1 dead. My work place bought 8 drives 2 of them are dead now. kind a shows how good they are
their older ver of linkststions are great. I still have the 250 gig ones it’s this new ones that having trouble , (which have drive to drive backup and AD integration etc,) may be they try to do more than what it can do.
BT, Virgin Media, and Carphone Warehouse users change your isp now
All 3 isps gone sell your browsing information to a spyware company call Phorm where they will put targeted ads on their participating web sites.
Here is register link that’s explaining this bit more. I’m with Virgin Media and moving away soon as I can. If you with any of this isps please move and tell them why your doing that too, Even Sir Tim Berners-Lee didn’t like the idea
new UK law to terminate p2p user’s ISP accounts
read the bbc news item , God only know how it’s gone work, most ISPs wont know what users are sharing as most p2p connections are kind a encrypted. It will be interesting, BPA need to get their head examine
what a rip off
Ok so I was reading few blackberry reviews and come a cross blackberry 8800 have GPS so phoned up to find out about getting one. what to you know phone is like £69.99 with £35/month contract that’s fine but you have to pay £40/year for the GPS and £1 for every MB map I download. what a rip off.
I’m staying with 8300 atleast it’s got a nice screen and very light.
No family discount for vista ultimate :(
Well I bought the retail version Vista ultimate thinking I can get home premium for $50 (up to 2 pcs), apparently that’s only for US and Canada for UKers, we still need to pay £139 to get the same software they get for £25, I’m gone get some one in Canada to get it ordered. Stupid M$ then they cry as people pirate their software etc
Mayakannadi (tamil movie)
Just came from the cinema, I never seen a boring film like this in my life and It’s very long as well, It’s about a guy try to make it big in life, god I don’t even want to write a review about it :@. I can’t complain as I didn’t pay for this movie, I not a big fan of Cheran’s movies, but noting else to watch I think Rajani’s kamals movies only coming out next week here.
