Comments on: some nice recent photos – am v slowly catching up with flickr! http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2008/07/07/some-nice-recent-photos-am-v-slowly-catching-up-with-flickr/ The life and education of two growing beans - our 10th year of blogging Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:18:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.34 By: Chris http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2008/07/07/some-nice-recent-photos-am-v-slowly-catching-up-with-flickr/#comment-5932 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 22:56:08 +0000 http://petitsharicots.org.uk/weblog/2008/07/07/some-nice-recent-photos-am-v-slowly-catching-up-with-flickr/#comment-5932 I know, and of course nowadays we just upload the fullsize images, not botheriung to make files smaller. We have 832 as well, as we use an onlne backup service and it speeds up that as well.

But I’m waiting for Be/O2 to unbundle our exchange (was supposed to be by 30/6, now put back to by 31/7) so I can jump ship and get 2+ mbps

If we had 2 MB she would still be complaining – it’s just the way it is :^)

ADSL2+ which BT is just starting to roll out generally has a faster speed – about 1.4 mbps, though if you sacrifice a bit of download speed you can get up to about 2.5 mbps. Similar speeds can be got at the moment already using one of the LLU (Local loop Unbundled) providers such as Tiscali, Be/O2 etc.

Flickr takes ages and you can’t send loads off to go cos then it fails. Grumble as we’re behind lots too. I thought the tagging was bad enough but no, definitely the uploading.
