Just to say I'm driving down to Perth with Dageus , not too sure how long for. No internet at my house.
Have a good time - give Dageus a big cuddle!
Have a good break. You need a phone that can provide internet access. I'd feel cut off without any.

What is the problem with your lack of internet connection?
Is it a particular supplier? If so, I'd advise you to look for an alternative. I have done that in the past.
Safe journey Raven, take it easy. :upvote:
Hugs for Dageus x
Hope you have a nice time Raven. There's a nice swimming pool in Perth (well, there used to be one in 1995 when I took some school children there).
Enjoy the change, and the peace. Be kind to yourself .
Enjoy your time away.. Drive safely..
Stay safe Raven, it's not easy having to adjust to not being able to do what you could once do but I hope you find a way to accept it.

As Raven is probably not seeing this I'll take a guess - that house is mostly unoccupied so it probably isn't worth paying for a connection. I wouldn't but I'd have a phone with a modest data allowance that could be used as a hotspot. Zero internet for me would put a big hole in my entertainment.

Ah! Thank you Klon.
Clearly, I misunderstood. I mistakenly thought that she had internet but that it had gone off for some reason.
Yes, that makes perfect sense, as does your suggestion of internet via a mobile phone.
I agree, as well, that the internet is not something I could do without.
Raven clearly can. She often says she's taking a break from it. I don't watch TV apart from streamed catchup and that's mostly just Farage so I'd be newsless without it (and probably a lot happier given the content).
enjoy your break,Raven, and give Dageus a cuddle from me as well!

Yes, your bank & all the other agencies will pretty much ensure you can't do without the internet even if you wanted to.

Yes, of course. Most organisations prefer to deal with customers' needs online.
It certainly beats using Royal Snail.

Like Mark said, I don't see the point in paying Virgin for the connection when I'm not there all the time. My son sometimes stays there but his Wifi is with the Three Network and can be used anywhere, he just unplugs it from his house and plugs it in at mine.

Thanks for telling me, Raven.
Of course, you do what you find best for you and I wouldn't advise you otherwise.
In case you didn't see an earlier post of mine, I mistakenly thought that you were having problems with your internet connection. Sorry.
