Live sats sounds a great idea.

Sat down to play last night.  Entered three tourneys on Blue Sq starting between 7pm and 7:30pm.  Pre-reg"d for the Virgin rebuy qualifier at 8:10.

7:34pm my Tiscali broadband packs up.  Manage to get through to someone at Tiscali after leaving it for twenty minutes to see if it returned.  The automated message said

"Some customers in the Southampton area are currently without broadband access.  Our engineers are aware of the problem and we apologise for any inconvenience"

Well, 2hrs later and I guess there engineers were still trying to find the problem.  Eventually spoke with someone who told me it might be worth trying in the morning.

I did mention the word "compensation" and got told did I mean a days compensation for loss of service.  Funnily enough, I wasn"t all that bothered about the 50p a day cost, but the $80 I had invested into my poker tournaments for the evening was slightly playing on my mind.

Never had a problem with Tiscali before.  Oh well.  Anyone had any joy in getting compensation for loss of broadband service ?   I"m assuming it"s pretty much impossible.

So, when are the live qualifiers ??????

And on another point, if you were to be playing in a higher stake game and this happened, do you have to just take it on the chin, or does anyone have a backup option in place for such circumstances.  Just curious.........

Lots of Broadband users are having lots of problems with various ISPs. Those worst affected - from the phone calls I"ve been bombarded with for almost a fortnight now - appear to be Orange and Tiscali / Pipex customers.

The 3G card / USB Modem for Mobile Broadband is a great idea. T-Mobile do a £4 a day Pay As You Go deal which means you buy the equipment outright (I think you can get it for £80 in Tesco) and then you pay only £4 on the days you use it. See here (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-broadband/data-plans/pay-as-you-go/)

The live sat is on the 22nd June at 4pm, capped at 80 runners with 20 seats available to the Virgin festival, entry fee = £30 +£5*

A damn good option, I"m sure you will agree.

Missed out on a seat in the live sat at DTD by 3 places.  Bainn made it in though, as did Maureen (The Nun). 

I was disappointed but won a fair bit on the cash games so that cheered me up.  I might try and play in some STT sats that DTD wants to hold this week (if they can get any more seats from Virgin).

Otherwise, I will come along anyway and just play cash.

So, I"ll be there.  Good luck to all APATers who"ve qualified for the main event.

Hmmm, I"m having second thoughts about Virgin Airmiles. 50k miles is enough for a return flight to Vegas... that"s good. And so long as you"re flexible in your travel plans you will probably be able to get a free flight sometime close to when you really want to go.

But how about this then... on my return from Vegas in May, I enquired at the check-in about getting a Premium Economy upgrade using airmiles....

Me: "I would like to upgrade to Premium Economy using some of my airmiles."
Check-In dude: "Yes Sir, let me just check which fare you have."
Tap, tap, tap on keyboard...
Check-In dude: "Sorry Sir, you have an "x" class ticket, this is non-upgradeable, you need a "y" or better ticket."
Me: "I just booked online, I put in my dates, it gave me a price, I paid it... no one askes if you want "x" or "y" or whatever."
Check-In dude: "No, you have to request a flexible ticket."
Check-In dudess: (who has also been tapping a keyboard) "We do have one PE seat left, if you would like to pay £289 we can upgrade you."
Me: (looking at Check-In dude) "But, but you just told me my ticket was non-upgradeable??"
Check-In dude: "That"s right Sir, not with airmiles... however, you can pay for an upgrade."
Me: (whilst thinking, "GFY!!") "It"s OK, I"ll sit with the poor people, thankyou for your time... have a nice day now."

Now, on my return home I decide to see how much I can save by booking an upgradeable ticket... here is an example (current prices on VA website) -

14 - 22 Oct 2008
Economy Lowest: £591.60 + 2000 airmiles "x" class (£659 cash only)
Econony Flexible: £1679.60 "y" class (not available as "miles + money")
PE Lowest: £1358.60 "x" class

So if I want to be able to upgrade on the return leg, I need a flexible ("y" class) ticket... which will cost over £1000 more than the cheapest fare plus 10,000 airmiles... or for £300 less you can just book and go bothways PE!!!

Bargain.
