The all new BE box modem is on its way, allegedly. According to their email I can track it on the DHL site  8).

I shall be tracking something next week that, if and when it arrives, won't be useable until the week after and even then I have no intention of using if I can tweak my existing Linksys. Oh, deepjoy  ::)

The BE box modem is a Thompson in disguise apparently  Shrugs:

You may not be aware of this but the late Alan Clark MP revealed in his diaries that "Family Slang" for a having a sh*t was doing a Thompson. whistle:

I'm sure this is a coincidence
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Your welcome pack with your BE Box will be shipped on 18/12/09 and will normally arrive between 21/12/09 and 22/12/09. Please ensure that you are able to receive the BE Box between 8am and 6pm (if you are not able to take delivery of your BE Box, the courier will leave a note for you to arrange later delivery)

It's arrived  eeek:. It's arrived four days before it was due to be shipped  eeek:

Some kind of timewarp methinks  rubschin:. Oh, and it's definitely a box of tricks, not a "Thompson", Snoops.

Migrated... connected... but at somewhat less than the lightning speeds they predicted  ::)

Still, it's better than previous.
