| | Early termination of an 18-month T-Mobile dongle by
Allan
Does anyone have any views on the changes of decent early termination
charges for a T-Mobile dongle. It's 6 months into 18-month contract,
and I want to cancel: the service is pretty poor, so that could be
grounds. Also, the recent ruling by Ofcom on early termination charges
on landlines could help (but only refers to broadband when it's packaged
with a landline). Thought I'd ask for...

Andrew Benham
A friend and I finally persuaded one of his neighbours to upgrade her
broadband. She was still paying for a Fixed Rate 2 Mb/s service which
was installed years ago, even though her exchange has been both 21CN'd
and FTTC'd.
So she went for BT Infinity, and it was installed a week ago. The
installer apparently said it might take a week for the speed to
stabilise, which surprised me.
Anyway, my...

Is news.enta.net down ?
Have spoken to them several times recently and they seem to indicate
that they have had a problem with their news server, no they have
apparently fixed it but say that it's having difficulty peering.
Now it seems as if it's off the air altogether..!!
Anyone else using this news feed ? if so is it working for you ?

Yep yet another post about BB speeds, I am testing with

is 50% faster on its speedcheck, how can this be so? I have run

| | Disconnections on ADSL2 service by
Mark Carver
I've been suffering occasional but regular ADSL disconnects for a couple
of weeks now, and the frequency of them has increased since some heavy
rain last Wednesday.
The symptoms are as follows:-.
Suddenly my router (Cisco AM200) will lose sync with the exchange, or
its sync speed will drop dramatically.
When I notice this happening I can hear crackles and whistling sounds on
the phone line.

Hi,
Has any BT residential customer managed to get BT Connect on their

I am looking at the pros/cons of getting a BT Connect connection with
a couple of static IP addresses and minutes to UK landlines included.
The BT Openworld residential packages don't include static IP or
multiple IP address options...

I have seen two PCs both Dell Dimensions that access the web thro

PC1 is slow to load web pages and broadbandspeedchecker shows a D/L

PC2 loads web pages faster yet shows a D/L speed of only 1000 Mbps.
Both PCs use Firefox, any ideas why the page loading is so different

I've instead been advised that I should change my package from a Home
