Hi, Don't know which broadband to go for. I live in non-cable area (in Sheffield) so i have to go for a BT line my requirement is 8mpbs and as i download lots of movies n video's i need (so called) unlimited download access. Previously i had demon (in my last town) and was quite good service for 20£ (which is now 18£)

Trying to solve a problem for a friend, and failing. He has two pcs connected to a Demon-supplied router. Recently he's been unable to access at least two major commercial websites - they time out. If he powers the router down then restarts it, he can get both sites - but only once. Then the problem starts again. We've cleared caches and cookies, and used both Firefox and IE - same problem. Can...

The Talk3 International +Broadband looks like excellent value to me- saving over £15 a month or so. Any problems with them as a broadband provider?

Hi, My ISP allows me up to 8GB monthly download allowance and as I understand it this can apply to simply images or short films at Youtube coming up in the browser regardless of whether I download them or not. Is there a program which can warn me if I am close to or exceeding the limit? Preferably freeware.

I don't know much about this. How do I go about updating the firmware of my modem (Dynalink ALE-070). TPG Tech support (by Email) suggested this to me to improve performance - Thanks for any help - Regards

Mother-in-law ordered Sky 'free' package (already have TV from Sky) in February. Connection was established a week later (according to Sky), but the modem/router failed to sync (or even attempt to). I had a look at their phone wiring, removed the BT front cover and used the test socket all to no avail. Tried several filters and even a replacement router sent by Sky (although the original...

Now I've got my Homehub embedded in my network I appear to be getting the old Nat/routing table overflows causing the router to lock up after around 48 hours. Is this a known problem or is it just my usage which is causing the problem. I have turned off the UPNP support as that did appear to make a difference with the SKY Netgear, mind you that didn't stay up for 48 hours at one go, so...

I've got two routers here with the same sized power connector, but forgotten which PSU went with which :-} Can anyone with a Voyager 2100 verify what voltage / current output the PSU kicks out please ? The two PSU bricks I have are as follows: 15v 1A (badged OEM) 9v 1500mA (badged AHEAD)

I would reccommend BT Total Broadband to anyone as they have great spam filtering and you get a free Wireless Hub with phone. I have been with them for years and would not change.

Anyone else getting "Website could not be resolved to an ip address" on Tiscali BB. Its been like it for 3 days now on and off on various websites like Ebay and Empirestores and is getting annoying. hugh

Really, I think these may be the biggest bunch of useless pricks on the entire planet. Ordered BB on 21st June, gave them my MAC code etc., order went through, router arrived about a week later, shortly afterwards I received a letter with my activation date (2nd July), however noticed that the letter stated that I opted for an engineer to install the kit (which I didn't). Phoned Sky and...

Probably the office 45/300GB package. Both suppliers exactly the same price. Is there any difference?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but.. are Orange better than TalkTalk? I've had some problems with TalkTalk, but after they upgraded the line, its been a fast and reliable service, though its missing lots of things like Newsgroup access and the ability to put incomplete addresses in and get results. What about Orange?

Greetings - I recently upgraded the firmware on my WAG54GS to the latest version. Is that upgrade now stored in the device itself? I.E. if I press the reset button, or use the setup pages to "return to factory default" will the update remain? Thanks

I'm trying to advise a friend on which ISP/phone combination to go for. She was initially interested in Virgin's 20quid for phone+2Mbit, but I dissuaded her on the basis that Virgin's phone connection is really expensive for calls. However Virgin have a 10quid for 2Mbit for 12 months offer until the end of the month, which is tempting, and means she could get a BT line for phone plus Primus...

Bear with me... a bit of a saga. I'm 1200m from exchange (actual line length) with an attenuation of 19 and until recently had near rock solid 8128 sync and 7150 profile. June 25th line started dropping, especially when the phone was in use, but resyncs were always at or very near 8128. Checked all the obvious things... disconnect and reconnect everything, reboot router, no improvement. I have...
