TerryMcCann Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 There's a notice in the Examiner today about the upgrades. Work starts on the 3rd October with Douglas being upgraded over 11 days and then various towns throughout the month with poor old Port Erin being the last to be upgraded on 2-4 November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 As of Jan 1st 2006 in the mountains of Switzerland - twice as high as Snaefell (almost) - 2500Kbits/200Kbits will cost GBP 44 including cable modem and VAT. If you have seen the flooding and avalanches you will have an idea of the infrastructure problems we have - it's not all cheese and skiing. And this offer is from a small cable TV / internet company, not a big outfit like Swisscom (main Swiss telephone company). The customers are all local, friendly service - nice people. Mail server can be a bit slow at times but I'm not complaining. The sun is shining, it will be 27C today and it's Friday ! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> just got no roads left after the floods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD4ELI Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 just got no roads left after the floods <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually here's OK (Laax) but I went through Klosters over the weekend on my way to Davos by train and Klosters was / is a mess in some areas. But it'll be sorted quickly and professionally. No looting, no-one shot, sadly 5 died. Meanwhile in the southern states of the old colony...
