Of course we should update before starting, else it will only get troublesome later.

I'm waiting on a positive confirmation from Llamabeast before saying 'do it'.

PS: We have 4 pretenders uploaded currently - 6 to go.

Yep, we'll definitely be using 3.10. I'm just about to install it now...

No problem I am just grateful that you are willing to host our game, many thanks once again.

BT are hopeless!

I don't know about BT (cos I'm not British) but if I ever migrate to the UK, now I know I won't be using them!

And thanks for hosting our game llamabeast!

BT really are spectacularly bad. Unfortunately they still have a monopoly on connecting phone lines, although you can choose someone else to operate the line once it's connected. Actually we did consider cable - but the relevant company (NTL) are notorious for bad customer service so we decided against them! Aaargh!

Anyway - can I just confirm you want to play on Urraparrand for when I get to start it?

Gregstrom · #7 October 15th, 2007, 01:26 PM

Yup - Urraparand's the one.

BT is just like Swedens Telia; they own all the lines but "lease" them to other companies. It's a pain in the *** for the consumer it is. It has gotten better in recent years though.

NZ are probably worse off though - there is (AFAIK) only one ground telecomms company there. Telecom are also one of the two mobile operators.

Prices aren't exactly great. When I was there in the spring, data transfer was NZ$10 per megabyte.
