The World's Greatest Blog

A few years ago – almost three years, to be precise – I wrote a blog post here in this very World’s Greatest Blog all about installing BT Broadband and Sky Broadband into two different properties where I arrived at the conclusion that Sky’s wireless router was slightly worse in terms of wifi signal range [...]

Every now and then I have a look at what’s trending and wonder what’s happening. Apparently YouTube got hacked today.
