Fairy lights could 'slow' wi-fi speeds
I don't want to spoil your Christmas preparations but you may want to
know that Christmas tree lights can slow your wi-fi. This is a warning from British watchdog Ofcom as it releases an app that can check home broadband. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34964847 The video is not available outside the British Isles so ignore it. |

Well I would have preferred it if those fortunate to live in countries not burdened with the totally incompetent quango, Ofcom, had not been able to see it. I wonder how much of my tax was used to pay someone to write an app that says if you move out of range of wifi, it won't work as well? -- Bill |

Ask your local MP. Apparently the people who are revising history have taken the British defeat at Yorktown and the US Revolution out of the history books, because here in the North Carolina USA I can see the video. |

They could just as easily have used some sort of free scanner tool, to make measurements and interpret results. http://download.chip.eu/en/inSSIDer-...r_7443073.html https://supportforums.cisco.com/disc...i-measurements I don't use Wifi at all here, so don't have any first hand experience with such things.

They could have used your taxes to pay some teen age girl to get pregnant to get social housing and.or tax credits and/or benefits of some kind. You really need to understand how politics work. Look at David Cameron. He decided to bomb Daesh so that some more refugees can come to Britain!!!! For those who are not aware of Daesh then please note that the terms Isis, Isil, and IS are not to be used from now onwards as these terms give them credence to their claim of an Islamic State when in fact they are a bunch of Islamic Scumbags. -- /*This post contains rich text (HTML). if you don't like it then you can kill-filter the poster without crying about it like a small baby so that you don't see this poster's posts ever again.*/ /*This message is best read in Mozilla Thunderbird as it uses 21st century technology.*/ |
