I think she was a computer voice algorithm.

No reaction at all - I rest my case.

Said he was from County Broadband and they were just finishing work in the village, and were checking that we had all heard of them and giving me a last chance. He said they can do 300 Mbs full fibre to premises for £37.99 per month. A phone on PAYG was free or free calls to local and national numbers was £6 pcm.
I said that I had just committed to a 2 year deal elsewhere - paying £43.49 pcm -but he said they could fit their service and defer payment for up to two years until that expired. Then their two year price would then kick in, and there would be no RPI + 3.9 % increases. I found no reference to that in their literature so I rang them. Immediate answer, and an email confirming it all in about five minutes.
Impressive.
He assured me that they have full access to Openreach ducting and fitting would be painless.

Plugged in the new DVR and still the same, turns out it's the power supply to the cameras that's failed (I've recently replaced the power supply to the DVR). The camera and DVR power adapters are the same spec so the system is operational again.Big Kev wrote: ↑01 Jul 2023, 12:07 My CCTV system spat out a warning that there was no storage available. Usually this would indicate a HDD fault , I had a spare in ths cupboard so swapped them out. The device formatted the HDD but still the same error and I suspect a fault with a component on the motherboard. It's a few years out of warranty so I've ordered a new one, fortunately there's an offer on Amazon, it's due for delivery tomorrow.

When I next wrote in the Search Box and pressed Return it produced a search done on Bing although I've always had Google as default in the Settings menu. I looked in the menu and it had been changed to Bing, so I've changed it back to Google. But how did it get changed by a Firefox update?
