So you say you want 2k but the build is 2700 so $700 needs to be cut, yes?
theres close to $500 worth of RGB garbage on there. Shouldn’t be too hard to do with equivalent performance.
Big air cooler instead of RGB AIO- ~$50
non RGB memory ~$80
a 2.5”ssd that still maxes sata6 and is therefore just as fast ~$30
Non high speed storage HD ~$50
more reasonably priced GPU ~$65
Non rgb non glass panel case ~$150
Semi-modular PSU of more rational size ~$40
thats a bit over $500 with no performance change at all.

Surely you could claim Freedom Of information's act. Requiring them to disclose all information held on you. So if you can get in another live chat ask for the reason and if they dont disclose it then pull that card, even if it doesn't work its still an easy way to break customer support.

perk0vic got a reaction from MystikIncarnate in Improving 4G Broadband
From my research I found mastdata too hence why I went with Vodafone as they had the closest mast to my location.
It looks like an antenna is my only option. Thanks for the info - appreciate it!

No, only a Windows 7 key will activate Windows 7.
However a Windows 7 key will activate Windows 10 still.

it probably is; be aware that different antennas have different frequency ranges that, for lack of a better term, they're "good at". any antenna will work, but getting one tuned to your provider would be better. If the router's web interface will give you the band it's working on, that would be ideal, just put that cube in the window and check what bands it's working from, and get yourself an antenna that works best on those bands, and you're golden.
if it won't tell you what bands you're using, you're going to have to guess. Here's the wikipedia page for vodafone UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK#Radio_frequency_summary
bonus points will be issued (in the form of higher stability and better bandwidth) if you can get a semi-directional antenna, like a panel antenna (discussed in a recent episode of TQ), or use something more directional like a yagi antenna or similar, and point it at the antenna tower. Unless you're using a dish-style antenna, it's unlikely you have to be super precise about it.
In doing a small amount of research, I came across this: https://mastdata.com/ which may help you orient the antenna towards an antenna tower/array (otherwise known as a mast).
Good luck.

RDP only supports Windows machines! If you're running CentOS youll need to be comfortable with a command-line interface (unless your VPS host provides you with some kind of control panel).
Your best bet is to find a Windows specific VPS, they usually cost a bit more due to licensing fees for Microsoft but easy way to go.
