Re: The end of the line for fixed line broadband?

It might be the end for very light users. For someone like me whose usage as recorded by BT as

At 23:59 on 11/04/2012 you had used 26.51 GB of your unlimited usage allowance.
Your average monthly usage is 80.29 GB.

Then mobile broadband is a non starter.

Re: Radio 1 schedule changes from April

Really impressed that Greg's show has been transposed into the new slot, with virtually all of his former features intact.

Game ...

Can anyone comment on a suggestion, I heard, that the adminsitrators chose to close where HMV have a reasonable presence locally, so concentrating the estate where competition is thin?

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Not so much fun for the 2,104 staff made redundant today with the immediate closure of 45% of the UK Game store estate. PWC are keeping the remaining 2,814 on for now.

277 Stores closed immediately

333 Remaining open for now.
