My mother today migrated from BT (voice) and Plusnet (ADSL) to Talk Talk (yes I know!) for both services. It's all working as expected, but I caught some strange things happen this morning I turned up at 10:30, and dialed 1571 from her phone,it was TalkTalk's 'Voicemail' service, so I assumed the voice transfer had happened. I then dialed her number from my mobile, and was greeted with the

"Powys man gets broadband via satellite over Africa" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-40745533 " they are positioned above the equator to maximise coverage." Oh dear! Actually, they are positioned over the equator because that is the only place you can obtain a geo-stationary orbit, enabling fixed dishes to work. Satellites that aren't in geo-stationary orbit

I have a TP-Link Archer VR900 Router. I want to stop one device accessing the internet at all times but still be available on the local network. I have looked at access control and parental control but neither seem to be able to do this. Suggestions (other than get a new router )

I'm upgrading from standard Plusnet broadband at about 12mbps to fibre at about 38mbps They say they're going to send me a new router which is fair enough but it set me wondering - exactly why so I need a new router or what is it about faster speed that the current router can't cope with?

If I wander in there with n devices connected to their wifi, can the interfaces talk to each other as well as the net? I'm hoping the answer is no... as I'm dreaming up a shared internet facility trying to keep student users roughly isolated on a simple switch (no VLAN support). Current plan is multiple DHCP leases, all individually on their own local lan subnets, each subnet connected to...

I need to buy a spare one of these cables. I have a VSDL connection. Does it matter if I buy one that says that it is suitable for an ADSL connection? I don't know if they are wired any differently. Ideally I am looking for a shielded cable. If anybody has any info on where I could get one I would be obliged. I am looking for one myself as I type... Many thanks -- Cheers,

Quick sanity check: the way Openreach ISPs implement ADSL these days, is it necessary to program the router with a username and password to authenticate to the ISP, or is it entirely done by which line you're on? Does the same apply for LLU ISPs? For FTTC, do you still get given an Openreach VDSL modem, or is it integrated now? If you change fibre ISP, do you keep the VDSL modem (with any...
