Whizz Bang

Well the last few days have passed in a whizz, but haven't so much banged as fizzled out really, most especially the internet, who would have thought it would be so difficult to update computers, and iPhones and iPads, I think I have broke the world wide net!

Neighbourhood Watch back in Saudi

In Saudi I gave up trying to update anything of an apple persuasion since arriving in January from Bahrain via Cyprus, I thought yahhh don't worry once we get moved we will have great internet and things will be such that you will have lightening speed at your fingertips and life will be grand, ops so needless to say the speed reduced to such brain numbing speeds the I could have wound the devices quicker had that obviously been an app option.

On arrival in Algiers  we were informed that 10gb was added to the house line for our use, and within a week we were struggling with slow page changes and if you wanted to open a video of any kind, and I'm not talking full length film here, you had to wait, and wait, and then wait some more, by which time you gave up and moved on.  This is what was happening in Saudi but because we knew we were moving there was nothing we could do of a private nature to increase our home speeds.  So we contacted the office and the lovely Amel and asked if possibly, please and we would be grateful, please Madame if  we could have some more giga, of course came the reply and we were newly rebooted and up and running, but apparently our area is quite partial to dropping signal on a regular basis, so sitting waiting for your pages to refresh is becoming a regular occurrence, we have even considered the fact that someone is piggy back stealing our line, but because we can't get onto the network we can't do the eye spy thing and catch the little sneakers, but really they would have to be sitting outside the window to be fair, and could you really be bothered, so it is what it is a slow area for the giga, and we have to accept it. We also have to pray our new place will have great internet speeds and make our little hearts joyous at the page changes, and previews.
