Glad it wasn't just me.  I checked my inet speed and that was ok but it looked like the wifi was slow.  One good thing (I suppose) is we're watching less telly now partly because you can't channel surf Smiley

Pat, Do you mean you recorded via the Filmon subscription service (Record in HD etc).  If so, how does that work ?  Can you replay what you've recorded at any time and if the broadcast quality is bad, does that also affect the recording ?

I pay the minimum amount, I can't download on to my computer but I can record programmes that are held on filmon's website so bad reception still affects me.  I may pay more so I can download because I like the BBC Iplayer that allows this after a programme has been shown. You have to 'book ' Filmon before a programme is shown. Cool

There is an add-on available in Firefox which allows you to watch bbc iplayer as long as you are not hiding behind expat shield, which the beeb has wised up to.  Just go to firefox add-ons and look for British T.V. or BBC.
I use expat shield for itv channels and then disconnect to use firefox for bbc progs. I am using a landline with 10mb broadband. It works for now but I have faith in the boffins at the beeb finding a way to stop it soon enough but whilst it's free lets make hay so to speak. Grin

10mb here too -  we ARE lucky.

UK VPN at 5 quid a month allows us access to all UK Iplayers and their ilk.

Can also stream most films as well - clever thing this tinterweb

We get 10 meg sometimes more from Movistar ADSL in Vinaros.

We took the deal of a free Android mobile phone, Land line/Fijo, mobile and ADSL all paid together for approx. 43.00 euros a month called MINI FUSION.

DenGeo - I would have liked to be able to use the FreeVPN but I need a fixed IP for some work I do, hence having to pay for it.

We connect using Guifi - www.guifi.net Have a look at their map to see if anyone nearby you has it. If you have line of sight, you can connect

Cheers for that, I'll take a look as soon as I get back to the delta, presently languishing in Nottinghamshire for the next week.
