We've had that round at Birdham for over a year now... ! Satellite TV point at every birth too.

You'll have to keep up you lot in the concrete jungle on the other side of the canal!

Or was that a dream I had last night and the reality is that we've only just had pontoons put in that you can now walk on without falling through!

MDL Take Note....

How much better this seems that the half assed Wi-Fi at Ocean Village - think MDL did a deal with a company to provide wireless access - bad coverage in the marina, loads of money and badly promoted. Prob not MDLs fault, but service provider a bit slack. Wont be long before all wi-fi hot spots are free, paid for by sponsorship/ad content or like my one at home - free to anyone if they are in range of my wi-fi thingy!

Re: MDL Take Note....

You dont encrypt your wi-fi at home???? do you check to see who is using it and how much resource they take.

VOIP can slow your internet connection so if you have someone next door helping themselves to your broadband service there is only one person that will be smiling.

Have you set the firewall up as well??

Re: MDL Take Note....

Never mind resources taken, spammers in the US are now mounting systems in trucks and simply driving round until they find an open wifi - pump loads of spam up the line and when the wifi's ip address gets blocked by the isp......drive up the road to the next open wifi.....

Doubt it. I tried last night from my flat which is only 50 meters or so from the nearest pontoon. Not even a sniff of the network there.
