I know noone here will be fooled by it, but by judging by the amount of people fooled by the IO7 makes your phone waterproof idiots who cropped up.. We have all that 1 friend. Don't let them be a statistic.

Bummer, why did I not see this before spending $2000 on my iPhone 6 from some dude at the airport. Do you think Apple Care will help me out?




Chorus has spent $1.4 billion on making their xDSL broadband network faster. If your still stuck on ADSL or VDSL, why not spend from $150 on a master filter install to make sure you are getting the most out of your connection?
I install - Naked DSL, DSL Master Splitters, VoIP, data cabling and general computer support for home and small business.
