    When I rented a flat nearly 10 years ago, we had to get a wireless broadband solution as the local area hadn’t got any decent broadband installed yet (despite being a brand new village between two towns), however to install it they needed to drill through the entire wall. To do that I needed the landlords permission, but it turns out it was owned by someone (or an entity) in China and the estate agent couldn’t get ahold of them, so I said fuck it and just said yes they can go ahead and do it.

      That happened to me, but it’s a block in the town centre. Houses next door, full on broadband. Flat, nope. BT lines. Connection wasn’t very stable. I gave up on it and bought a 5G broadband hub. It works amazing.

      …and ever since that day, blackn1ght closes his curtains and lives in fear of the inevitable blowback. Even the smell of wonton soup makes him break out into an intense sweat…
