  1. Cutest pig around back for more! :P

     

     

     

    Some of you may remember that a year or two ago I made a topic similar to this asking for any sig based on this picture.

    Now, I'm mainly asking for an avatar, however I will also accept signatures to go in the rotator - so don't worry people that have made one for me already (names I remember are thruitall, mitsubishi, subtle_rune, 4be4jue, and there was one more... Also sorry for spelling mistakes) because they will still be in the rotator. The avatar will also be rotating.

     

     

     

    Specs:

     

     

     

    -For signature, please make it within the TIF signature limits. Perhaps around 450x175

     

    -For an avatar, please make it 100x100 and again, within tipit limits.

     

     

     

    All you have to do is use the picture of the piggy that I showed above. The rest is freestyle!

     

     

     

    Oh, and there is one more rule: it's gotta have "Jcfc" somewhere and "The cutest pig around" somewhere else. Thanks in advance! \'

  2. I learnt a lot from the last two posts. Thanks very much :)

     

     

     

    I suppose that I was kinda annoyed about getting it halved. The policy that they have does seem pretty fair, and now I realise all the slagging off that they get is completely unjustified (namely I didn't understand the 250kBps dl speed). Thanks for all your help everyone, I've learnt a lot ^.^

     

     

     

    Now to persuade my dad to get that £56/month offer we had in the post the other day for XL in everything virgin (£20/month off :o)

  3. A few questions:

     

     

     

    a) I'm supposed to be getting 2mb broadband - that doesn't mean 250kbps download, right?

     

    B) So I was downloading a game (1.5gig) and after about 400mb I found my internet connection download speed was halved. Phoned 'em up, they say "As part of their acceptable usage policy, your internet will be restricted if you download too much in peak times" They later elaborated to say 400mb-ish between 4pm-9pm. It's then restricted until midnight. Is this normal throughout other UK ISPs?

     

    c) The biggie: Switch or no switch?

     

    c)a) If I should switch, why? And who to?

     

    c)B) If I shouldn't switch, why not? Should I change to one of their quicker plans?

     

     

     

    Virgin Media has been getting a lot of flack for their policies. If you use bittorrent or something like that, they will either cut your speed in half or block you entirely. They also do this for people who use a lot of bandwidth and download a lot of files.

     

     

     

    You're lucky they haven't completely cut you off from the internet, or sent out one of their "letters" explaining that you have 1-2 more chances and then you can't use them as an ISP.

     

     

     

    I say that you should switch to a new ISP that doesn't block downloads. This thread explains the matter a bit more, and if you read some posts further down, will give you some ideas on other ISPs that you can switch to.

     

     

     

    Really, Virgin Media is shooting themselves in the foot here. And switching to one of their faster plans won't help at all, they'll still cut you off.

     

     

     

    I wasn't using BitTorrent, and it was completely a completely legal download.

  5. If this is true, it'll probably be abit like hunter - made to update existing skills. E.g.,

     

     

     

    -Fishing - Fish from your boat

     

    -Construction - Make your boat a home

     

    -Defence - Pirating

     

     

     

    For hunter, theres fishing, ranged, etc.
