3M My Virgin internet oftens falls over and dies for parts of the day. I also have a £10pm 3Connect dongle which I can plug in during those times. I treat it as a £10 pm insurance policy.


Put a claim in for the lot and see what you get.

DC I did see that post but haven't a clue what a dongle does yet will enquire tomorrow. Nothing to do with Virgin this time it is BT yet again!! Don't know how to make a claim for getting out of a share before it hit that hard whenst I could not see what was happening?????? It happened during the weeks of no internet at all before my kind neighbour let me into his wireless. One can claim for loss of earnings but don't know how to prove it. Sad times here in Lancashire. Don't understand what at £10 pm insurance policiy is either.

Sounds rude 3m , dont ask me . Perhaps you need to get in touch with someone like customer services at BT and explain the situation. Never the way is it that they go up while your off the net.

Just rang Virgin and asked what was going on and was there any point in me getting a Dongle so to speak (answer to my question was) NO. Beacause I have not got any internet connection, it is to do with BT. They will be sending me messages as to the progress of this dam lot. Await patiently - the douvet sounds good to me for now. Good Nite and thanks to all who have tried to help.

Thanks to hm-df

And now, an offer of oil from Puntland
Sandeep Dikshit
Share · Comment · print · T+ Share With virtually the entire east coast of Africa is found to contain hydrocarbon deposits, the tiny Puntland, which is a nation and yet not a nation, is no exception. Its President Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud Farolez on Wednesday held talks in New Delhi on the recent find in Puntland of large quantity of oil.

He invited Indian companies to participate in the exploration and sought New Delhi's cooperation for charting out exploration blocks and training Somalis in the petroleum sector.

The Puntland region is unique — it seeks unity of the Somali people and adheres to a federal system of government unlike the secessionist region of Somaliland to its west. Puntland is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation.

The visit was not due to normal diplomatic exertions. During Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed's participation in the international conference on Somalia in London in February, he met the Transitional Federal Government leadership, Presidents of Puntland and Gulmudug and representatives of other groups. During the meeting, Mr. Farolez expressed his desire to visit India. An invitation was duly extended. Mr. Farolez's official engagements included calls on Mr. Ahamed and Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas R.P.N. Singh, during which he was told that India would favourably consider the proposal for gas exploration and training.

With Mr. Ahamed, the President also sought Indian assistance to train his people in the fisheries sector, education, training, small and medium-scale enterprises and issues related to piracy.

Facing the twin scourges of piracy and terrorism, Puntland has been able to eradicate piracy activities from key coastal towns, including the former piracy hub of Eyl. The government has deployed anti-piracy forces (the Puntland Maritime Police Force) at Eyl and plans to send the force to other coastal towns. In 2010, Puntland Parliament passed Somalia's first-ever anti-piracy law. Speaking at a public engagement on Tuesday, Mr. Farolez said the Indian assistance was vital to ensure alternative likelihood for coastal communities affected by piracy and illegal fishing and reviving fishing activity that had been disrupted. “ We believe assistance and working partnership between Puntland institutions and the international community, particularly the Indian Ocean region, will be an efficient option to finally defeat piracy

Beginning to side to this must be a commercial find, Just to much going on.

Just waiting for an announcement from Horn now, perhaps in the next few days.
Once we have official news the sps should move. Not going to stay in the bag much longer.

Oh! Dear DC you are really fed up according to 3750 but as you know when the bag is closed then the bag will escalate. The choice is have our money back when we can and enjoy it whilst we are alive. Got up too early cannot sleep. Hope you have a good day. I would not imagine PL is having too many disturbed days and nights and hopefully it won't be too long before we see these do great guns like last year don't despair just yet it could get better.

Lol 3m, your up early.

Laugh Laugh DC just seen the man across the road put his black bin out - wearing a black knee length dressing robe - looked better in his shreddies in his bedroom window - perhaps I am glad that he did not turn around. Have a good day - seriously things can only improve.

What a sight lol

Correct.!!

You can see what your missing on the board getting up at this time 3m, not very exciting is it. :-))

Somalia’s Puntland spurs India oil hope
May 17, 2012 By PARUL CHANDRA Correspondent New Delhi .aaa.More Sharing ServicesShareAdd To My PagesemailprintinShare.0..An energy-hungry India has yet another region now on its radar from where it can hope to import a valuable resource, oil. Not many here would be familiar with the Puntland region of Somalia, a country located on the horn of Africa whose name has become synonymous with piracy. But Puntland has recently discovered abundant reserves of oil.
Puntland President Abdir-rahman Mohamed Moha-mud Farole, who is currently on a visit to India, has invited Indian oil companies to participate in oil exploration in Puntland. Mr Farole met Union minister of state for petroleum and natural gas, R.P.N Singh here on Wednesday and shared with him details of the recent oil find in Puntland, said official sources.
But what must be heartening for the Indian establishment is the invite Mr Farole has extended to Indian oil companies to come to the region and carry out further exploration. He also “sought India’s cooperation for the further charting out of exploration blocks and training of Somalis in the petroleum sector,” said sources.
Puntland is a region in north-eastern Somalia, bordering Somaliland in the west. In 1998, Puntland’s leaders declared it an autonomous state. Yet, the Puntland region is for the unity of the Somali people unlike Somaliland which advocates secession. Importantly, Puntland is not seeking recognition as a separate country from the world.
Apart from oil, piracy is yet another issue that figured in the talks between the two sides. In his meeting with minister of state for external affairs E. Ahamed, the Puntland President said international support is required to explore alternative livelihoods for coastal communities affected by piracy and illegal fishing.
Puntland, he said, has deployed the Puntland maritime police force in Eyl, a former piracy hub.

The ThreeConnect dongle plugs into a USB port on your PC and makes an internet connection for you. Check out this page.

http://www.three.co.uk/Store/Mobile_Broadband

You have to be careful though and make sure it can make a good connection where you live. Also the £10 option has very limited download capability of 1GB (but this should be OK for Moneyam). As I said I use it sometimes so have never used it 24/7 for a month.

Virgin will tell you that you don't need it because 3Connct is a competitor of Virgin. It also has the advantage that you can use it anywhere you can make a connection. I have a netbook which I cart around with me and use the dongle to make a connection wherever I am.

The reason I treat it as a £10 pm insurance policy is even if I don't use it it costs me £10 but it insures me against the failings of Virgin because I can always switch to the dongle and I am online again not withstanding the very unlikely situation where both services are down.

Thank you ShareCruiser.
