Last one to post wins the internets (archived)

Myself and Boatse live in coal-mining/semi-rural parts of the UK and we simply cannot purchase faster internets.
We have to wait for people to upgrade our telephone exchanges before magical speeds can occur.

The point I was making is that I could wait for Dave to get it, and will never see an upturn in my bandwidth. When our ISPs upgrade their equipment, they role out a new plan and charge more for it. My ISP has like 7 layers of internet plans.

I have no idea what you mean with the first sentence and that isn't the first time I've seen you mix role and roll up.

my broadband started off loiyke 11/12 years ago at about £20 a month for 0.5mb internets, it got upgraded for free to 1mb, 4mb, 10mb and now 20mb and it's still roughly the same price

My internets have got cheaper. It was £25 to start with for 1/2 meg broadband in 2004, it went up to £30 for 1 meg but subsequently dwindled to £9.99 for the ten meg I've got now.

Not complaining, loike.

Waiting for Dave to get it would take a long, long, long time, indeed.

As I was typing that, I realised you were probably rodding.

But then I decided I'd role with it and see what happened.

I only do it like once a month, and it has to be ironic, too, or I just don't feel like it's worth it.
I'm also happy enough if no-one realises.

Looking back, those smilies barbie put in are so gauche.

Think about how long it would take Dave to "get it", get it? Also, if it's a pattern thanks for alerting me. That just makes role/roll a new pair I have to hunt down since I do it with you're/your (which I type out incorrectly about 50 % of the time).

And now you see why I like Mary so much
