Honestly......
TalkTalk. They are the cheapest I have found and in the last year I have only had 1 incident of downtime. They are always fast and I never notice any slowdown during peak hours and you can usually wangle a good deal out of them over the phone. Before I upgraded I was getting standard broadband, unlimited for 11.99 a month where as other people were paying closer to 20+.
Stay away from BT as they charge through the nose for the same services found cheaper (and better) by other providers.
Virgin can be good and has very high speeds but only if you live in the right areas to receive them and still not as cheap as other providers.
Out of all of them though I would recommend TalkTalk. Cheap and fast and efficient.
Had a really bad experience with TalkTalk.. my internet connection would literally drop every hour if I were downloading or uploading too much. Paid a lot of money to cancel with them early. Would never go back with them.
I mean, times may of changed since then tho? lol.

I've been very happy for years with BT. Stable, fast connection and very few outages (very early morning for a few minutes usually). I pay about £60 a month for broadband on the fastest speed, unlimited weekend calls, and mobile plan. I've never had a cause for complaint, and the few times I've called them, to enquire about changing packages, were very pleasant experiences (friendly, patient, knowledgeable people who look for ways to save me money).

Hmm, £40 per month is soooo expensive. I'm currently looking at Vodafone Broadband. Speed up to 65mb for £25 per month! Online reviews seem good too.

Virgin Mobile or Virgin Media? People are recommending Virgin Media -- I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't use Virgin Mobile again (they're a separate business under the Virgin umbrella).
Eek, sorry, I meant Virgin Media! I am actually with Virgin Mobile, and haven't had any problems!

Thanks guys -- forgot to add that Virgin Mobile is not available in my area! Wish they were though, I do want VM.

I've been paid.. oh man, I enjoy transferring it to my PP account. LOL.

Soooo, my broadband with my current provider (Sky) is about to end, and i am on the lookout for a new ISP... any recommendations from anyone would be appreciated.
-
Soooo... I've saved and collected 1k from my weekly $L50 stipend each month, and thought because of the huge milestone piano:, I'll sell the $L! ?
I totally forgot about the transaction fee LL takes... so pretty much, I'll be waiting for a nice chunky, less than $0.70 to be deposited into my Paypal account... oh, and don't forget the PayPal fee too lol.
Should... of.... saved...... and.... should.... not... of sold.... oh well, free money lol.

Used to love playing Slingo back in the day, is there any games similar to Slingo? I understand that there is 'No Devil', but it seems that there are just single games.
Does anyone know of anywhere where you can play something similar to Slingo with other residents, all at the same time, just like you could with Slingo?

Well nobody knows what style you like so maybe some more details would help. Check out some of the blogs and flickr related to second life shopping. There are quite a few men's shopping events too now. Check those on the seraphim website http://seraphimsl.com/
I'd just want to see what others favorite sellers were, and I'd probably hand choose from then on. So not preference really. But thank you, I'll take a look at that website.

Good morning!
Apologies if this was supposed to be in the 'Shopping' forum, but it looks pretty dead in there... thought I'd get a better response posting here.
I haven't bought any new clothes in foreverrrrr, literally forever. Who are some of the best SL designers for Mens clothing? I need everything, a nice AO, skins, shoes, hair.. etc. I have around $L10k to spend.
Any known locations of designers in the market place, etc.

and then I went shopping

I think it all depends where you go and the quality of the sim you're visiting. I have had similar experiences to yourself too. These are mostly in chat hotspots. Although, I have found some really great people in different sims.

I did mine last year, deleted pretty much everything I've had ($$$). Oh well, I'd probably never use that stuff again anyways.. lol.

Let's get this thread populated with beautiful setups! haha ;)

Hey guys,
I made a video showing my Christmas Haul 2017, thought I'd share it with you here on SL. :-) - hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas!

Relaxing today, I have a little party going on tonight with a few neighbours. So looking forward to that this evening. (Starts in 3 hours time!) eek.

You guys should share some of these on SL's Reddit page too. It's a little bit dead over there.. lol.

Get them to cancel their land then..

Many people don't want to do the second transfer (to PayPal), so, for them, it's only one fee. They cash out their L$ to US$ and leave it where it is so that so that LL can take it for tier and premium membership - mostly for tier.
Yeah I got you. I don't have any land in SL, (Well, I don't usually, but I've just taken advantage of the holiday sale of SL Quarterly membership for $11.95, so right now, I do have 512 of land lol.) But... I'd much rather spend the money outside of SL.

Alwin posted as I was writing my post.
There are only two fees from L$ to PayPal, Alwin. 1. L$ to US$, and 2. US$ to PayPal.
Ah okay, that must be where the confusion is. I thought you had two fees. One for selling $L through LindeX and then another to transfer them. Nevermind, just two fees is OK I suppose. :-). Thnx!
@Alwin Alcott Thank you :-)

it is there, in the pay out example picture
Oh heck... that's 3 fees to get money out of LL. LOL. Sell, transfer and Paypal...

the info you look for is easier to read in the knowlegdebase
I cannot seem to find the additional fee you are talking about in the knowledge base. I am assuming you mean the Paypal fee to accept this transaction from LL? I think the only fee you get charged is the fee LL takes when you sell. I don't think they have an additional charge to transfer it away, apart from Paypal.

yes about that:)
but keep in mind... if you plan to transfer it to RL, there will be again a fee
Another fee on top of the Paypal fee?

As BT owns the infrastructure, if you're with any provider, you're *technically* with BT, but paying another provider for the service. You're paying so much money for a service you can get cheaper elsewhere. Potentially saving you hundreds each year!
