  1. That article about the BT socket is an interesting one. So who will be the first company to produce a cheaper version?

  3. Yea… My dad discovered it lol. It will be interesting to see if it works… I daresay BT will have patented it, at least in the UK if it’s taken them so long to develop. I don’t think a tenner is too bad for something which enhances your connection as much as they say it does.

    I think it’s a quick fix though, doesn’t really address the problem. The future of our broadband seems to rest on Virgin Media at the moment :-(

  5. I think the BT socket thing has been used by commercial companies and so was only available to high paying customers and is now being released to the public. Don’t quote me on that though! :)

Tuck in to tech width = '100 '

Tuck In To Tech is broadcast by two teenagers from the north of England, the show briefly covers some of the top technology news from a UK perspective. With the guys' light hearted banter and coverage of obscure news this show is definitely worth a listen!

The Hosts

Alistair Charlton
Alistair likes to think of himself as a bit of a journalist, with literally a handful of published articles under his belt (Alistair is studying Journalism with English at Kingston University). He is also an avid fan of all things tech but is sadly the less knowledgeable side of the TiTT podcast; despite having a slightly obsessive Apple addiction.

James Osborn
James is the geek of the show. Whilst technology and the podcast are sadly more of a hobby than a career choice (James is currently studying Business Administration at Lancaster University) he still maintains a healthy interest in all things web and anything with a circuit board. He also seems to think it's his mission in life to keep the Apple fanboys in check whilst secretly harbouring a quiet admiration for the wonderful things which Mr Jobs throws out.
