Had a letter yesterday informing me that there kicking me from 50Mb upto
120Mb...apparently due to them thinking that I am such a good customer.
Have to wait until june though :(
I havent had much of an issue with the superhub...wireless seems a bit
slow at times but no problems when I'm on the hardwired desktop.
The online back software does work....I had it running under wine in
Crunchbang
Better stop now before I get shot for mentioning Crunchbang :D

5 is enough for me but 60 meg is very tempting. But after a long
conversation i had to decline:
That's not true.

"If you’re currently on up to 10Mb, up to 30Mb or up to 50Mb
broadband, we’ll double your speed. If you’re on up to 20Mb you’ll be
tripled. And for those on Broadband 100, we’ll be boosting you up to a
mighty 120Mb – a new benchmark as the UK’s fastest widely available
broadband."
a) it involves changing modem to a new "home hub" that they claim to be
compatible with linux. (Risky as i did not check details and did not
sound convincing)
It's a "Super Hub". I have one. It's just a custom netgear device with
a cable modem internally. Some people have had issues with it, but
that's nothing to do with Linux.
B) you would get home security that is not compatible with linux
Don't need it.
c) you would get 10gb of online storage that is not compatible with
linux.
Yeah, that's a shame. I tried using the VStuff app in WINE but it
didn't work, but I didn't spend long trying. There's plenty of Linux
compatible options like Ubuntu One, Spideroak, Dropbox :)
Cheers,
Al.
