Not everyone is reading my home thread, more people might be interested in Netflix though.
I downloaded it on Monday and have been watching more of "Anne with an E" free of charge :grin2: (I was watching it at Heike´s). If I want to carry on with Netflix then after 30 days I start to pay 7.99€ a month.
"Anne with an e " is "Anne of Green Gables" . in case you didn´t know and I am thoroughly enjoying it, better than all the blood and guts and fantasy stuff Netflix has.
I have never read the book and didn´t realise it all happens in Canada, but I bet there aren´t many who have never heard of the classic.
There are 3 prices for Netflix in this country, maybe the same everywhere I don´t know.

I can get about one or two bar on 3G Baz. So not a good idea there plus how far do I go just to stream Netflix for 3 months of the year?
I'm still juggling connections about as the speed is so variable. So will be trying anything and everything to get an acceptable connection speed.

But what provider Ray? Might be worth investigating. Take where we are right now in the Lake District. It's pretty remote and nothing on my Vodafone SIM but on my EE sim I'm getting about 40+Mbps down and 18mbps up and it's reliable. If I had that at home I would switch in a heartbeat. Might even work out cheaper.

Back on topic. The prize for the hammiest series goes to "Cobra".

It's a good cast but it's terribly written. However I cant stop watching it.

W4e watched a film on Netflix last night, called Triple Frontier. It was quite good as it goes: we enjoyed it.

We after seeing our speed at 3.5mbps last night we did manage to watch The Grey Man which was fast and furious as well as Reacher again being a bit the same.
But in both films near the end the baddie and the goodie have to have the most unlikely fight, the goodie always drops his weapon and gives the baddie a chance?
Hello??? He has just killed a dozen innocent people and he is going him a chance???

These power line extenders TP Link TL-PA4015p work much better than the older Olitec ones. Now getting 5.6mbps most of the time.

Just watching 'Untraceable'. Very gripping.

We just watched a film: Medieval about Jan Žižka. Not a period of history I know much about at all so very enjoyable.

Pretty good that Kev. Twenty years ago I was flogging broadband to businesses at £50 a month for 0.5 (yes half) Mbps, £90 for 1mbps and £125 for 2mbps. The half meg one sold like hot cakes as the alternative was dial up or ISDN and it was lightning fast. The reason being all the websites were rendered for dial up and email file sizes were nothing like they are now.

Maybe the computer is plugged into the router with a cable Jan. You will lose speed with a WiFi connection unless you are near the router.

Anyone watched season 5 of the Crown? Blimey! They haven't half stitched up the royals on this one.

It was probably because Lars was using his mobile for a video at the same time earlier. The router is right next to the computer, not plugged in, works on Wifi.
When I tried them all on the speedometer at once they all had a different reading.

Yes it will only give you a reasonably accurate reading if there is no other network traffic locally like someone watching a movie which uses loads of bandwidth.

Now we have adequate bandwidth to watch streaming, the day has been wasted watching a 5 part series 'Treason' and three other annoying films with stupid endings.

We watched a film yesterday call The Other Guys. It was funny and silly in equal measure! Good cast though and Will Ferrell is a funny bloke I think.

We watched Escape from Alcatraz yesterday. An oldie but a goodie. Always good to see Clint Eastwood.

Started `Treason´ last night after I watched a film I have seen before, remembered bits of it, but not all, Collateral with short arse Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx and few seconds of Janson Statham . It can´t be so long ago I watched it the first time as I´ve only had Netflix for 3 years.
