Thinking of switching to Vodafone Fibre 2

I want a reliable provider with a speed of around the 67mbps that I've had with my current provider. Have been with Sky and my contract is coming to an end, so I'm wondering is Vodafone Fibre 2 is any good?

I've been on Sky's Superfast so it will be a VDSL (Fibre to the cabinet) setup. Surely this should be an easy setup for Vodafone Fibre 2?

Also can the frequencies of the wifi be switched? I've had to connect a device that can only run on the 2.4gHz. With Sky they said the splitting of frequencies is actually quite outdated but the way round it with them was to lower the security level in settings from WPA3 to WPA2. Although that doesn't sound good, it's the only way to effectively get the 2.4gHz frequency.

Has anyone had experience of trying to do this with vodafone and how easy is this?

Cheers

Mould / Mildew on Vinyl Record Labels

Made a post about this elsewhere last year...

I have some very speckled looking labels in my vinyl collection and am going to try different methods to see what will clean them up properly.

I've been advised that just a slightly damp microfibre cloth should be enough and I am unlikely to experiment with hydrogen peroxide, bleach or any other sporicidal agent unless I absolutely have to.

One thing I definitely want help with is what microscope should I be getting power wise?

I want a good look at these labels as I'm treating them but am not experienced with microscopes and won't know what power would be appropriate. I don't want to get some cheap gimmicky microscope.

Example pictures here:

Somebody else says this is Mildew rather than Mould ...(Brit here so I will not be dropping that u thank you very much!)

Any advice most welcome

"Goal In Other Fixture" Alert

With the group stage reaching its conclusion, this smug C Major "notification" will likely not be heard anymore.

I sort of simultaneously dislike and like it. It's annoying but it does actually add some tension.

I've also heard it when there doesn't seem to be any goal elsewhere at all, so are they going to play it if someone's car gets nicked or their wife goes into labour? Where's the consistency!?

Will we realise in about 15 years time that we have a generation of young adults in all corners of the world being casually triggered every time their flight is delayed?

Discuss.

TV people, do I actually need a Freesat box? ...or just an adapter?

Want to connect my smart TV to the satellite cables coming in to the house left over from previous owners. I don't actually want to record live TV or anything, would just want the freesat / freeview channels if the TV I have allows this. It's a Samsung UE32T4307AK (from 2020). Am I right that I don't actually need a freesat or freeview box and I can just connect satellite cables to the Antenna input with the right adapter? If so which adapter do I use? Not just something dodgy from Amazon if possible, Thank you
