OK, I got an email with a link to steam key on humble. And now with our new isp we got no data cap  :-O~~~

Dunno what's up with that uplay thing.

Still, uncapped internet is a plus. What upload/download speed have you got there?

Speaking of games (and I think you may well have seen this deal before) the Walking Dead's free for a limited time at Humble Bundle.

I started playing this last night, and had the strangest sense of dejavu that I had installed it previously, played it for two minutes and nuked it, though it wasn't in my steam library before I got the hb key for it. Maybe I watched a youtube preview of it a while back.

I have it on low quality settings as a precaution, but the graphics are pretty primitive to begin with. As is the game play, which so far consists of multiple-choice dialog with a game character. Hmm, might give it one more chance.

I look sufficient of an arse without the additional of google eyes.  But they do look funny. Maybe I will.

Right you are.

Any idea what the average is over there and is that the best you can get with that ISP? Just wondering 'cos those numbers seem low compared to the speeds we get here (at least in cities, we have outlying areas with some dial-up-like speeds).

That's the minimum package and likely well below average but not really sure about that.

The ISP advertises plans with "speeds up to 250 Mbps" (down, obviously), which cost more: https://primus.ca/index.php/ont_en/internet.html

We're not streaming or downloading huge amounts at this point (get all our movies on dvd from the library, which has a great selection) -- apart from surfing and email, Mrs.D watches a tv show, I download games, that's about it. The new service seems faster and more reliable than what we had.
