anyone who subscribes to talktalk is a gullible fool. The broadband service from talktalk is disgraceful, (if it ever works at all) and when you want help from them the lines are constantly jammed with long queues, sometimes you don't even get into a line, the automated message at talktalk says 'all agents are busy, call back later'. The guys who run talktalk are just a bunch of confidence...

I'm looking for a low-cost way of feeding our (community-owned) village shop with a broadband feed from a generous neighbour who will allow the shop to piggyback on their existing ADSL feed. Leaving aside any issues about ISP rules on sharing, there is the issue of how to get the feed across the road (the shop is on an "island" site with roads on every side). Wifi is not an attractive...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The newsgroup uk.media.broadband has now been removed. The reason for the removal is: Traffic to this group has dropped to a level indistinguishable from zero, and the posts that are written would tend to be better served by posting to uk.telecom.broadband anyway, being enquiries of a technical telecoms nature.

Having just migrated away from a very expensive BT Broadband package, I thought I could be very clever and keep my BT pop3 email address whilst subscribing to my new ISP. Not a chance! Today, just three weeks after I migrated, BT stopped all pop3 access to my email address, only allowing me to access my emails through their crappy bt-yahoo webmail. Further enquiries revealed that to enjoy...

I've recently discovered that all the houses in our street originally had all copper wires running from the telephone poles to the houses - But about 15 years ago our cable blew down in a strom and BT came along and replaced it with a cheapo Allumium Cable. We struggle to keep a 1mb/s connection going with Plusnet, whilst next door who recently got ADSL is zooming about at 7.8 mb/s. We...

Hi all, We have recently upgraded to 8Mb ADSL for our Business Broadband. Today the adslguide speedtest is reporting 2.7 down and .7 up, which i imagine means that we are currently in the 'training' section. Problem is that whenever we try any consistent uploading (such as an ftp upload to an external server) the speed shoots up to 80-ish KBper sec for about 10 seconds and then drops...

I've made five orders from Clarity.it over recent years and their deliveries are always lamentably slow and this time I emailed an enquiry about the delay. "I know from several previous orders that speed of delivery is not your strong point, but it would be appreciated if this one could be shipped no later than tomorrow as it is required for a job this coming weekend." It was ignored and...

I see Carefone Warehouse has taken over A.O.L. uk

Being only used to cable broadband I have been assisting elderly relatives to set up their ADSL connection ( virgin .net), remotely. They are in Cornwall I am in the Midlands.

I've been using TalkTalk for quite a while now for broadband and I didn't used to have any problems sending emails from my Mac. Recently, I've been having problems where my emails get stuck in the outbox and I keep getting an error saying that it couldn't connect to null smtp server. I think it's a TalkTalk problem as a few days later the emails will miraculously send with no changes at my end...

Hello, I'm considering changing ISP to Be There, www.bethere.co.uk which looks like a reasonable LLU offer. There's not much feedback on their performance here or in www.adslguide.org.uk , apart from the usual difficulty of MAC release or ceasing ADSL on an LLU'd line. Has anyone any actual experience of the reliability of their service?

Folks, I bought a Draytek Vigor 2800v because according to everything I have read this a very good router, and I need the unlocked VOIP functionality. But I find that is connects at only 75% of the speed of the BT business hub (aka 2Wire 2700) that it replaced. Typically the 2wire connects at 2528/448 while the Vigor only connects at 1880/448.

1.How does the broadband connection established ? When the user gives his username and password.? 2.What is the role of broadband servers in establishing the legible connections? 3.Does it possible to restrict the users PC to connect other than his ID and pwd?Acording to the users phone number, which has been provided at the registration?
