I've literally only ever had Virgin Media broadband. Service was great back in the day but past 10 years it's gradually got worse and the prices has become silly for broadband only. But it was the only provider of fast internet in our area. However Openreach have finally installed Full Fibre in my street so I'm looking to move to either Plusnet or EE.

From what I'm seeing most switches are from something that's not cable - so since my house has never had any sort of telephone line since I've lived there, is there something more to the install?

My Virgin broadband goes to crazy prices at the end of this month so wanting to do this soon.

I love these sprayed edges or specially illustrated editions of books but they mostly seem to be for fantasy reads, which I am not a big fan of.

Anyone aware of any or do you have any special Editions of weird girl books you can show off?

Currently reading the Mindsight June book and absolutely loving it. I'm not finished it but so far it's reading as 4 or 5 stars for me. Very pleased.

Any guesses yet for the next box? So far the 2 have been quite different.

I received my copy of Japanese Gothic over the weekend. It's beautiful and I'm very happy.

However I sat down to start reading it today and found quite a few of the pages are very faded at the bottom. It looks almost blurry. It's still readable but does make my eyes go weird. Top of the page is fine but it's almost as if it's running out of ink halfway down the page.

I flicked through and it's just affecting the first couple of chapters but a bit annoying.

I tried to take a picture but it doesn't show up, I guess my camera enhances it automatically or something.

Wondered if anyone else has experienced this before. I've only got the evernight quarterly so I've not had a lot of books from Illumicrate. This is just my 4th. Is it worth reaching out or just suck up.
