Perhaps
They can work out how to enable Exchange Only lines at the same time! No fibre for me :( Not yet anyway LOL
RIP BE
Yep, got the news this morning, will stick around for the moment, I am no fan of Sky either and I bet you can be sure that Sky won't continue BE's excellent routed subnet (Muti-Static) IP's on their network. Just got moved over to the new core network as well!
Sadly despite my local exchange being FTTC enabled, I am an EO line, so no fibre for me for the foreseeable future :(
BE worked well, great support and very few problems IMHO, Sky is overloaded at best, adding another 500,000 customers is suicide without shoring up their infrastructure (although the rate of calls to the BE cancellation department did shoot up this morning, so there may not be many left come the sale! :) )

980,000 at the moment, I've managed to reconnect, but for how long, who knows!
Naming
I dare someone to actually name their product 'The Fondleslab' I know it's el Reg's name, but by christ I'd buy one :)
Posted in Virgin Media begins 100Mb upgrades
Pity
they can't be bothered to roll it out everywhere!
I live in an Virgin Media area, only they can't be arsed to feed it down my street.

Silence!!!!!!!!!
I keeeeel youuuuuuuuu!!!!
Sorry, just watched Jeff Dunham...couldn't resist, I'll get me coat.....
Shame...
That they can't get their arses in gear and upgrade the analog network in my area in Southampton!!
I'd probably go for a bundle package if they did.
Update
It only seems to affect machines running the 8.7i engine and XP SP3.
Fortunately we had not rolled out 8.7i to everyone yet, so only a small subset of our machines were affected.
I found the easiest solution was to copy the dat files from a 8.5i machine with the 5957 dats and also take a copy of svchost.exe.
Boot machine normally, when you get the DCOM is shutting down crap, open a command prompt and abort the shutdown, open viruscan console, turn off Access protection then go and shut down the Mcafee services.
Copy the dats into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Mcafee\Engine.
Copy svchost.exe to c:\Windows\System32
Reboot, job done :)
I

But what the hell, just donated and thats his target met :) Damn good cause!

Mines the one with the sonic screwdriver in the pocket and the geeks guide to Dr Who.....

Wouldn't be so bad if...
Their website actually worked!!
I spent over two hours last night trying to book a flight to Dublin for 14 people, every time I entered all of the passenger names and clicked next, the damn thing kept timing out..

@Nir
"or areas needing something that makes a lot of noise and has pretty blinking lights."
Yes, I remember those, my boss had me build one and shove it in a rack, it was just a panel with lots of flashing leds, he used to call it the 'Impresser'
Never told any clients what it was, but it did look good in the rack and they seemed to be impressed with it :)

@Adam
Oh crap, I've got 4 of em and a couple of Masters as well......
*straps himself into the wheely chair*
I still say....
that Catherine Tate is a very poor choice for the companion.
Her acting performance in the earlier episode left a lot to be desired.
Oh Shame...
As if they didn't make enough out of it already.
I think...
It's all part of the Lizard Army's plan to take over the world, somewhere to control all their mind control robots and taser fitted robots!
