When I first signed up with Zen, they gave a lifetime price guarantee. They don't offer it any more (and the prices have actually fallen since!), but it was definitely a big breath of fresh air after virgin "press 1 to only increase the bill by £2.50 instead of £5" media.

The consistency, too.

When mine first installed, it was 3ms or so, it's up to 8ms now the network is more loaded, but it's absolutely rock solid.

I think there is such a thing as "threshold" bandwidth, for us that was about 15mbits up and 100 down, and it means that no matter what silly stuff people are doing (other than saturating the entire pipe), things just keep on trundling.

I looked into this for my car. The conversion has a 50 mile range, essentially replaces the engine with an electric motor, locks the car in 3rd gear, and replaces the fuel tank with batteries.

It cost about £3500, which was a bit much for me considering the car only cost £3k, and I could just sell my car to buy a 100mile+ leaf for the same outlay.

When it's a day old, you can definitely beat someone with a baguette.

Dating is simple, just exist, meddle with their family, and be an extremely rich member of the aristocracy.

Remarkably, I did the same, and still had something disabled...by Spotify.

The unit had Spotify compatibility (as in, an input mode where you also got access to liking a song by pressing the volume button).

Spotify dropped support for it in the app, so it's not useful any more. It's not really a problem, Bluetooth input and media controls still work, and I've disabled the Spotify input. But remarkable how possible it is for companies to ruin something!
