Yes, I've got a Vodafone 'Sure Signal' box that does the same - intermittently. Having said that, the 'raw' signal is a little better than it was ten years ago, but I expected it would be much better by now. Ho-hum.

You have to select network, signal, and location before it shows coverage. For my area it shows good Vodafone 4G coverage, yet I have never had a 4G signal inside or outside, and Vodafone themselves say they don't provide it in our area (and have no plans to do so).

I can understand sites that rely on advertising revenue being concerned, but it's entirely up to the customers whether to block ads. I think the donation request policy of sites like this one is the right way to go. But if ad revenues are essential, a 'nudge' policy of having minimally obtrusive ads and politely requesting the user to disable the adblocker because they depend on ad revenues. That way, the user can decide between the value they get from the site and the annoyance of the ads.

I've had a 'No Cold Callers' message on my door for the past year, and it's made no difference at all - they all just ignore it. Door-to-door sellers and charity collectors are actually told to ignore them (that's what they tell me). Depending on my mood when I answer the door, I either just silently point at the message, or ask whether they can read. Most say they didn't see it, the rest say they saw it but ignored it. Just sayin'.

OK, thanks. It's certainly bad practice and completely insecure. I terminated the account.

Not sure if this is the right forum (please correct me if not)... I recently registered with my dental insurer to handle insurance claims online, and filled in their online form with personal details, including a login name and password and password reset question and answer. I then received a confirmation email (also copied to two other people in the insurance company), containing all that information, including the password and password reset question/answer in plain text. Bearing in mind that email is totally unsecure, i.e. equivalent to posting in public, it clearly defeats the point of having a password, but is this a breach of data protection legislation? Also, is it acceptable that my personal password details can be sent to others?
