    So cold, so very cold...

    And it's nothing to do with trying to figure out the central heating.

    I've lost my internet connection at home for at least the next two and a half weeks and it hurts! Especially since my HTPC has decided to throw a minor wobbly, once I get t'internet back I think I'll give 7 and WMC another chance.

    Just remember, it will be back soon. Keep the faith, stay calm, and don't do anything stupid.

    Any unsecured wireless networks nearby? McDonalds I guess we all take it for granted nowadays.

    Good idea, I hadn't considered that! Probably won't get me gaming but it'd sort out my emails.

    Could you tether your phone instead? Depending on phone they might not notice and if you have unlimited data use it ftw

    I have very limited data , I could upgrade my connection but I'm not sure I really need it (beyond the next few weeks).

    Edit: Also, I just checked at the O2 shop, the tethered data rate is astronomical! So I bought a half price dongle.
