Review of Belkin FastCAT network cable - 10 m

WORLD'S BEST CABLE

Advantages: Good Quality
Disadvantages: Over Priced, USB Now Used

...happy to see the little screws on the cable end. On my old cable I had these tiny little screws and had to get a screw driver if I wanted to unplug the cable but with this model I only need to turn the end to release it. So if you have a printer which needs a cable like the APC why not spend the extra few pounds and buy this. It's very good quality and will never let you down. I couldn't have been happier with it. I'm not too big a fan of USB cables for printers... Bring back APC!...

Xbox 360 network adapter, to buy or not?

Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless
Disadvantages: very high price

...i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had a 30m ethernet cable running down my stairs which is not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the network adapter. THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360 theres a light which is green if its working and red if its...

Network Cable is Boring

Advantages: It has stood up to 1 years of abuse
Disadvantages: Network Cable is Boring

...Hardly exciting is it network cable. The only thing that really intersts me about network cable is the things that come along it at high speed to my computer. Considering that the function of the network cable is to get porno, arriving from the internet via my boradband router, to my computer screen as fast as possible, it is quite an important item. Most people just go for the cheapest, which is a shame considering how much is spent on an broadband connection over a year. According to the BT engineer that came to fix my broadband 90% of the total signal loss goes in the last 100 meters. If you loose too much of your signal then this has a massive effect on the speed of your connection. What I am saying here is that skimping on cables is really a false economy if you are paying over £200 a year for a broadband connection then...

Xbox 360 network Adapter

Advantages: Cute,Compact,Attachable
Disadvantages: Weak signal,Very expensive

...Microsoft and their proprietary products are poor performance,and too expensive.This adapter detects the same network my pc adapter detects but only 1 bar of signal.My pc adapter has 5 bars on the network.The xbox adapter must not have an omni antenna and the gain is probably 1dbi.I tried to opened this crap and put a higher gain antenna but the connector is a sub micro connector specially made for microsoft to screw us.I still could have rigged a better antenna,but i accidentally lost an ic chip trying to pry this thing apart,now there goes 70 bucks,never again. Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times...

Another Cable Review!

Advantages: Durable; Brand name; Reliable
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive; Overkill for a 56k connection

...jack, which is a nice touch. They also prevent the tab from being snapped off. The plug itself is moulded onto the cable, although the BT plug is the standard crimp-on variety. Looking at the plugs more closely, the contacts are plated with 24 CT gold. Although I am sceptical about any performance gains, I would agree that it will certainly help with durability, since the gold will resist oxidation which would cause signal degradation. The technology used in the construction of this cable is very similar to the technology used for Belkin's standard range of Cat 5 ethernet network cables. In fact, Belkin claims that this cable can support data transfer rates up to 100 Mb/s. Those sort of speeds are way off into the future, in terms of what you can get through a standard telephone or even broadband line, so you have to question whether...

O2 - A great network!

Advantages: numerous call plans, broadband, mobile e.t.c
Disadvantages: NA

...O2 is a UK mobile telephone operator, which is part of Telefónica Europe. I have recently rejoined O2, as most of my friends are on the network, and I would therefore benefit more. How to join O2 Joining O2 is really easy. You can either become a Pay Monthly, or Pay as you go customer. You can ordered a sim card, from their website, should you wish to go pay as you go, using your existing mobile. Full details of current Pay Monthly plans, are available on their website also. www.o2.com Network Coverage I have always found the O2 network coverage to be fantastic. I have never experienced a lack of signal, in the area that I live. Therefore, the O2 service, in my opinion is very reliable, as I always have an active signal, that is able to allow me to make calls and texts Pay As You Go When you order a sim...

Review of O2

o2 a brill network

Advantages: great network
Disadvantages: none

...I have always had a pay as you go mobile for as long as i can remember but never with o2 untill this christmas. I wanted the new pink swivel nokia for xmas off hubby and it was cheapest on o2 so i changed networks again. I have been with virgin, orange, tmobile vodaphone and one to one before they changed to tmobile. The new phone i brought is great and i am even happpier with the new call charge plan i have had with them. I have opted for your favorite place number which allows you 500 free minutes to any landline and other o2 mobiles as long as you are in the post code for the area you have chosen and this seemed like a brilliant idea for me as i never venture far from home. All i have to do is put £10 a month talk time on my mobile to recieve my free 500 minutes which i have been making very good use of and always use...

Review of O2

laptop on a TV screen

Advantages: watch movies on your tv from your laptop
Disadvantages: none

.... This just ensures that the connection is always there as they sometimes tend to fall out if you don’t screw them in however if you don’t want to you don’t really have to screw them in. The cables 2 metres long which might not be enough for some people, however they do a range of different lengths so just look out for different ones if you need them. Because my TV is quite near my laptop on my desk however I only got the 2m cable as if I got one any longer id be left with a load of cable kicking about. Most TVs don’t actually have the capability to plug this into the back of though so your best checking that first and then checking you laptop or pc has the port too. Also then measure the length you’ll need before purchasing one as you don’t want it to be too short and have to buy another one. These...

Review of Belkin PRO Series VGA cable - 2 m

the cable that will last a lifetime

Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...
