I know, I really have no excuse for not attending more events. It always seems so much further when I drive it though ...

I think it's the 'up to 30 mbps' package, but this has got me thinking... They recently wrote to me to tell me my bill was going up to that price because they'd upgraded the area to 'up to 100 mbps' standard.

Now if I'm not on that service, why am I paying more for it??? :think:
