ouch so you got banned eh

Yes, rather annoyingly. I got away the first time when I hit 12 by pleading extenuating circumstances. Presenting yourself well, talking nice and showing the magistrates how great a productive citizen you are to society works wonders. I had 12 but 3 were knocked of being 'nice'.

Unfortunately two weeks later while getting off the motorway I was caught by Gatso doing 44 in 30 mile zone and this time could not escape the wrath of the law. However as 3 points from past are coming off on 1st Feb. I am allowed back on the road. Indeed I recieved the DVLA notice last week.

what car/cars do you have now?

Still BMW Coupe M3 but bought a new Mini Cooper this summer. Great fun to drive not that I got much chance though. This coming summer the BMW3 coupe goes and still not decided although probably another M4. My brother was suggesting the BMW6 but that is too big and fat

so you went into court looking dapper and they slapped you on the wrist.

but you never learnt you lesson. so are you on a clean slate?
prepare for you insurance to go up.

what about an audi rs5?

@xenon54 @Vergennes @Kaptaan

i pay £400-550 per month

isp: BT
leased line i can get up to 5gb but i dont need that kind of bandwidth for about another 3-4 years

 

[Indus Pakistan]

so wen in to court looking dapper and they slapped you on the wrist.

No, it is not a arrestable offence. They just notify your ban and you have to hand in your licence.

prepare for you insurance to go up.

Yes but you know what they say. It's not what you know it is who you know. I have some mates in the insurance industry who should give me a good deal - although still going to be expensive.

what about an audi rs5?

My brother has AudiRS5 - it would be pissing in his turf. Have another brother who has Mercedez AMG E class coupe. We take our cars very seriously !

well not even that all you need is a broker

so your confined in to the bmw realm then in that case get the bmw m4 then.
it may sound intrusive but here goes, but do you buy your cars out right or get them on finance/ contract hire?

dont know if you know but i spent a huge amount on a gt speed it was used but it was certified.
i have just found out like a few week ago the carehas already lost £8k in value!

 

[Vergennes]

5 year contract! id probaly just block them from debiting money out of the account and tell them to whistle.

There's no contract,I voluntarily stayed five years with 'em.

I didn't have the choice to be honest.

I'll explain ;

The major (and almost only) internet providers in France are ; Orange (known previously as France Telecom),SFR,Free,Bouygues Telecom and Numericable. (Now Numericable bought SFR to form SFR-Numericable)

Back in the time I had a maximum speed of only 5mb,if not less since I lived far from the remote subscriber unit or the server. (don't know if it's the right term). If I chose Orange,SFR,Bouygues,I couldn't have TV since it couldn't work due to the distance as I said.
-
Numericable uses the cable,so I could have access to TV and good internet speed,but I was with them before and they are just bunch of thieves,nowhere when you need services,but always here when they need money. They always stole money from my bank account,so I blocked them from debiting money and throwed their boxes in the trash. (They have really bad reputation.)
-
So,only Free could provide me with TV services and I chose them. The service isn't that bad,but internet is quit slow.

You see now.
-
Orange deployed the FTTH in my city and I decided to choose them,and they are the only one offering it to me. They are investing a lot to provide the FTTH to a maximum of persons. The real,the pure one.

@Kaptaan

i thought you lived in paris?
if numericable did that over here ofcom would fine their @$$. you should always use a credit card and if any unauthorised transactions happen contact the bank and they will refund you. as a last resort initiate a charge back and your guaranteed to get your money back.

No I live in a city about 10km west from Paris. It's not as if I was living in the mountains far from any other kind of life.

You know I gave up,I just wanted to get rid of them and never heard about them again.

@xenon54 How much you pay ?

:O R u running a CCAM server ?

 

[A.P. Richelieu]

Don't worry there's worse. Exemple ;

Me.

Thankfully,I'll change my internet provider next week and with the FTTH,days with bad internet speed are soon gone.

What about others ? @Kaptaan @waz @mike2000 is back @A.P. Richelieu @vostok

Have had 100 Mbps FiberLAN in my appartment in central Stockholm for 10 years now.
Fiber to a router in the cellar, and Cat6 cable to each appartment.
1 Gbps possible at extra cost, but not needed,
It is included in the $300 per month appartment fee.

Got 100 Mbps FTTH in my summerhouse last summer. I just pay when I am there.
You can get an operator for a week for $15, or $30 for a month.
A longer term subscription would be $240 per year.

My iPad 4G connection is $7 for one year, since it is limited to 0,5GB per month.
