TalkTalk: Did you get the connection speed they claimed?
I'm currently on an "up to 8 meg" service which gives 3.5 meg on the Thinkbroadband speed test. A pushy phone salesman told me switching to "free" TalkTalk broadband would give 7.5meg, and he'd not seen anybody under 6meg.
I find these claims optimistic at best... What speed were you told when you signed up, and what do you get?
1 AnswerOther - Computers1 decade agoWhat don't they tell you for the citizenship exam?
The other day, after my train was late ( It had been raining, apparently ), I was reminded of British Rail's great excuses of the past ( "the wrong kind of snow" ), and so on... and it occurred to me that they're unlikely to come on the Life in the UK test...
So, what other things should people coming here know about that probably nobody would have mentioned?

Like the solid coating found on cereal bars... I saw a US site selling meltable chips to do this, is there a UK supplier? Does anyone have a recipe to harden natural yoghurt?

5 AnswersFootball (American)1 decade agoFanta or orange squash?
I've noticed that Fanta/Tango, etc. claim to contain 5% juice. Most squashes contain 5-12% juice, but since they're diluted, they would actually end up containing less fruit than Fanta does.
So, does that mean that Fanta is healthier?

Have LCDs caught up with CRTs? Are there particular models with especially good colour ranges? Is this limited by video card anyway?
