Anyone Using Telewest Teleport Services?

The interface seems bloody slow even for Telewest. Are the delivered films
and TV programmes received okay? No artefacting, pixalating etc.

You don't know what 'teleport' means?

Assume pedant mode:

Star Trek franchises refer to it as a "transporter". Blakes 7 use the term
"teleport"

A *real* pedant would complain that no-one in Star Trek says, "Beam me up
Scottie."

And then mention (apropos of nothing) that Sherlock Holmes never says,
"Elementary, my dear Watson," and that Big Ben is the striking bell, not the
clock, or the clock tower, which is called "St Stephen's Tower", and that it
isn't attached to the "Houses of Parliament" but the "Palace of Westminster"
and that Tony Blair isn't the Prime Minister, he's...

I don't *think* that Tarzan ever says, "Me Tarzan, you Jane," or if he does
I don't know in which version he might have said such a thing.

And the same goes for Long John Silver saying, "A-harr, Jim-lad."
