Opal Internet ISP Review (formerly nildram broadband) PDF Print E-mail
Category: Reviews Thursday, 30 September 2010 - Written by Alex Dixon

"now reduced to a snail’s pace"


opal-broadbandI’ve also been a victim of TalkTalk, the so called internet company. During the past months my old ISP Nildram (great company) got bought out by Opal Internet (TalkTalk). The official move to the isp happened about the 9th of Sept. Since then my internet speeds have been shocking! I would normally be hitting 4MB’s but was now reduced to a snail’s pace ranging from 1.5MB in the late hours to 1MB during peak times (Last week it even dropped for 10+ hours).

Since I am a home based web designer and avid gamer I picked up on this instantly, It was time for a isp change! This though wouldn’t have been the easy task I first thought. Initially I tried to contact them via their customer support email system requesting simply my MAC code. Eight Days later I got a response which was clearly a automated message trying to blag me off with answers not even relevant to my question. I sent another email back venting my frustration and have yet to receive any reply  back.

Focus ST-3 Review PDF Print E-mail

Focus ST3 FrontFocus ST3 SideFocus ST3 Rear
Model - Ford Focus ST3  | Mods - Custom stainless steel back-box exhaust

"Teeth Shattering Raw Power"


Overall Rating – 85%

Ford has always been known for its ability to build great fast cars at a fraction of the price. In my eyes the era of the Escort and Sierra really set milestones for Ford so when they announced the meaty Focus ST I was keen to get in the hot seat.
Like the Golf GTI on first look the ST could be mistaken for one of the standard models, that’s of course if you don’t have the glaring orange or the go faster bonnet strips. I myself have the subtle strips down the door panels whilst the rest of the car remains a snowy white. The model that I am reviewing also has a custom stainless steel back box exhaust to provide that extra low down grumble before breaking into a mammoth roar. At some point I will try and get a recording for anyone seeking to have a similar reverberation on theirs.
