Skip997 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Fair play for the dedication and organisation. Frankly I couldn't be bothered. Fortunately I don't need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e9t3 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Laptop (on WiFi) and phone (on 5g). I've got two hands so can refresh each about once per second. The only other thing I do is pray 🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing I do is pray 🙏 sadly not possible on a Mac unless I can figure out a way to assign one key to refreshing rather than command r ...... but I tend to focus on 1 anyway and have the second as backup ...

buddiepaul Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Poor planning on my part, but I am redecorating at the moment, so stuff is all over the place. I will just have to try as best I can tonight with a couple of devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouserat Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I feel like there should be some sort of award each year for the most successful buyer with the most rubbish setup. The one who forgets it's ticket day until one minute late, has to log on from halfway up Ben Nevis with one bar of signal and somehow still manages to get through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be on hotel wifi tonight, and dodgy roaming singal / airport wifi at 4am on Sunday. I am not optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time we were successful is where 5 of us sat in our houses refreshing between 3-4 devices each and the one person who wasn't as interested managed to get through on their phone sat in the parking lot of their gym. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 I think @Crazyfool01only shares this stuff because I'll be jealous how nice his house looks. Can you sort mine out too 😉? I'll be on comparatively speedy WiFi in a Portuguese hotel using a mobile plus laptop I bought purely cos they botched my plans by moving the sale date. Nb it will be used after, but that was the trigger as didn't fancy carrying a desktop, keyboard and monitor or persuading my partner holiday would be cancelled.

Penrhos Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Thinned down this year after realizing I can't cope with more than 3 devices at a time. 1) Laptop VPN'd into work as they have a thick internet pipe. 2) Laptop on home network (Virgin) - connected with a network cable for a little less lag. 3) Desktop VPN'd into Europe (usually my bittorrent PC so has permanent VPN running) 4) Phone to keep an eye on here..
