BT iPlayer Homehub issues 4:09pm on 28 May 2008 QUOTE:

@Jim: It's kind-of harsh to slag off BT for a bug which shows up when the product's been in the field for several years, when using an innovative service that launched 6 months ago....

@peebee:

The fact that the BT Homehub is a useless piece of technology doesn't make any difference?

It's a horrible unit and I've had 3 replacements from BT now. Every one has been equally as bad. I share a flat and have 3 computers connected to it using the internet quite heavily.

The Homehub always crashes and randomly drops packets. It cannot seem to stay online for longer than 3 weeks solid, all the time degrading in performance. Despite the fact that an ADSL line takes a while to sync itself with the line.

I now use my own router on the line and it has never dropped once. It doesn't drop packets randomly and will support wireless and ethernet packets equally and transfer rates will stay high.

If BT invested in some better products, they might not have this problem in the first place...
The iPod tax resurfaces 11:12am on 18 Apr 2008 "In the States, they are still paying a levy on every blank tape that's sold... because people MIGHT make an illegal copy. How about the Police lock me up in case I decide to become a burglar one day?"

Guilty until proven innocent. Typical of the way our society has evolved.

It's these stupid idea's that drive people to the actions of illegal downloading/copying.
