Recently I read that Broadband and music industries have to tried to formulate a plan to cut back on illegal downloads.
They claim that Illegal music downloads have prove problematic for music and broadband providers for some time, and they are now formulating a plan to try and cut back on this practice.
They saying that for many years the subject of illegal music downloads by broadband customers has been a sore point for both broadband and music industry officials. With officials claiming that they are losing money hand over fist as a result of such illegal downloading activities, officials from both industries have now come together to try and put together a plan that will help to eliminate this sort of practice. Yeah! Yeah!

If you’re frustrated with the speed of your Internet connection and thinking about changing your broadband provider, don’t worry! You just need to run a quick and simple test to find out how your connection measures up. You can start this by clicking here
When you click the Start button, they’ll send some test data down the line and check how long it takes to reach you. To increase the accuracy, run the test more than once and average the results.
Let me know if this worked for you??

Hey People!! Once again Charter Communications has divested itself of subscribers in an effort to enhance overall operating efficiency. This time it is 75,000 plus customers in smaller towns in Illinois and Kentucky. The accounts we purchased by New Wave Communications.
For those you haven’t heard of New Wave, it provides Cable TV, Broadband Internet, and VoIP to customers in seven Southeast and Midwestern states.

Many parents have found that having broadband available can help their kids enormously when it comes to research for educational projects and school work.
There’s also a darker side to the level of access that many kids now have to the Internet through their broadband connections, and many parents are also concerned about their children accessing inappropriate or even dangerous websites, or simply taking an unhealthy interest in spending hours and hours online using chat room and social networking websites, which many kids tend to do.
However, a new service that has been launched could help parents to combat this problem by allowing their kids access to a finite number of sites, all of which have been classified as appropriate for children. The service is called KidZui, and is aimed at children aged between three and twelve years of age.
The chief executive of the company that has launched the new child-friendly service stated that KidZui is not the adult internet filtered for kids. Instead, we have built an entire internet just for kids from the ground up, along with a brand-new, kid-friendly interface. The service has been described as a separate Internet for children, and could help parents to avoid the worries that come with children having easy access to sites that may not be appropriate for them.

Listen to this interesting news. A couple recently received a phone bill for over £11000. They weren’t really sure about their phone contract and downloaded four episodes of Friends via their mobile phone.
Their service provider was Vodafone and they used an “unlimited” phone broadband package. The couple failed to realize was that the downloads were only free while in the UK. Sadly, while they were downloading it from their home in the UK, the husband took the phone to Germany on business, and downloaded a further 2,600MB at a rate of £4.50 per megabyte, Whoa!! Ofcom is expected to investigate the fee, however Vodafone has said that customers were informed of all charges, before they exceeded their download limit.

Hey!! Was just looking at a magazines and found this article about an independent source of UK ISP news. I also visited their website Internet Service Provider Review and they have a database of providers that can be found under the ‘Listings’ section, you may submit changes to this via the ‘Submission’ page.
Infact, those seeking to promote their services can ‘Advertise’ and have a ‘Links’ page for similar sites. Readers must ‘Register’ in order to post reviews or use full forum features.

Hey People! Did you know that hundreds of unsuspecting Web sites are, or have been, infected with malicious code lately?
These websites might include government Web sites (cdc.gov), popular Web sites (dolphinstadium.com), schools (citrus.cc.ca.us), journals and magazines (ajr.org), and more.
If you keep your browser, operating system and anti-virus software up to date, your computer should suffer no ill-effects.

Hello guys! It’s been a week now that I’ve shifted to the UK. Great place! But it’s a little difficult to spend leisure time at Cybercafe’s. I’m planning to setup a Broadband connection at my place.
I’m just comparing some of the Broadband services available. I did find a few websites that gave me a little comparison about Broadband services. E.g. BroadBand-Finder
Broadband Choices
Any suggestions??
