As usual I am in front row when new things have to be tested. In this case it’s
cablecom and their new internet packages. The bandwidth has been ordered

hit him was somewhat strong! But despite the fact of a heavy wind striking
you I guess it’s really dangerous! Do not try this for yourself!

…or when trains fly by with 400 km/h (250 mph)! The red arrow (the
translation for “frecciarossa”) as the new italian high-speed train is called
is supposed to reach 400 km/h albeit the operational speed is 360 km/h.
(215 mph). But as you can see the development never stops.

So while the order of my new Horizon box has disappeared, I have reordered it
and with it the fast internet line Fiber Power 150. While the Horizon Box is still on

Long awaited, LTE finally goes online and allows owners of appropriate
hardware to surf the internet with tremendous speeds. However owners of

About 4 years ago, Bluray discs came into the stores and finally eradicated
it’s archrival HD-DVD. Meantime, there are also Recordables that allow you
