    Wi fi/ internet upgrade

    Need to upgrade the wi fi/internet stuff at my place.

    Internet suppliers

    I am thinking of giving up my local suppliers, and getting most of my materials form internet suppliers. They appear to have much better prices. I find that with local suppliers the cost somehow keeps mounting up and there is a great big nasty bill at the end of the month. Anyone else use...
