All internet based games were thus useless to me, not once, but twice, for 6 months at a time! The only reason I didn't go insane and shoot up my ISP's HQ, was my healthy stack of single-player games. Now, with SH5, offline play isn't an option, which begs the question as to why anyone in a similar situation (many places in my country, mine isn't the worst!) would buy a game with such limitations. Not exactly the best of business plans, when you're trying to sell as many copies as possible.

Case taken in point. I'm looking to trasnfer to Prague, Vienna or Moscow next year. I guess stable internet connections are something the yankees got right?

Yes, you've had cable far longer than any of us, Britain for instance only has one cable company. Even our cable is problematic in many areas, assuming they are lucky enough to have cable coverage!

Wow! I have 3 companies which can satisfy my TV, Phone, and internet needs. Gives a bit of leverage when one gets less than satisfactory service.

It's frustrating to say the least, especially when our idiot of a PM claims that Britain is leading the digital age! What planet is he on!

Wouldn't happen to be (entirely/partially) owned government condoned?

If you're the only provider who gives a $hit about service?

Best would be a graphic with green/red, each covering a full day from 00:00 to 23:59

A good picture is worth a thousand words.
