Can it be possible? All my domains redirecting through UKreg are unavailable, UKreg itself is unavailable, the Fasthosts control panel is unavailable and the Fasthosts support site is unavailable - and yes that is the one sporting the proud boast of the Fasthost Award Winning support service. An answering machine message explains that there is 'a problem' with the UKreg customer database and...

I've been using UkOnline's 8Mb LLU service for around 15 months and its been fine. I'm also a Sky satellite subscriber and therefore eligible for Sky's cheaper BB service which is UkOnline's offering rebadged, (Sky having bought EasyNet). I received my code from Sky allowing me to request BB from them but, ringing them, was told that I have to disconnect from UkOnline before they can then...

I have recently had to change provider due to relocation so thought I would give my first impressions. Was previously with a cable provider since the beginning of BB and just moved into a non cable area. I am not served by a LLU exchange so I went with BT Total BB option 3 with the "free" wireless VOIP router. Pleasantly surprised with ADSL performance. Out of the box the supplied router uses...

Hi, I have a broadband 8000 Wireless & LAN combination router Netgear DG834PN (use as DHCP, IP 192.168.0.1) and have now also bougth a US Robotics Wireless MAXg 5461A (Standard IP 192.168.2.1), to use it as Printerserver with its USB port.

I am presently a longtime onetel dial up user and lam ooking to move to broadband. I don't want to have to change my email address. I note that there seems to be some sort of relationship between onetel and talktalk. I also use call18866 for phone calls. Can anyone advise on what onetel/talktalk are like as a supplier of broadband, what their deals are and can you still use call18866 for...

So, broadband has finally arrived in my part of the world, and I'm now online... partly. I have a desktop PC, a notebook PC and my wife has a notebook Mac. The internet connection is via a BT Voyager 1200 wireless ADSL modem/router, with wireless adapters in the PC and a built-in Airport card in the Mac. We've got the two PCs online but can't get the Mac to connect. The Mac can connect to...

Hi, I've recently purchased an Apple iMac and upgraded to broadband from dial-up at the same time. The modem supplied by the internet provider works fine, I am connected to it at the moment while I post this. So the ADSL line works fine. However when I plug the ethernet cable into the router I can't see it from my iMac, presumeably because it's not set up yet? But even hard-wiring the router to...

I recently changed ISP, and shortly thereafter I began to get complaints that emails sent to me were being bounced. The reason for this turned out to be that the ISP was using a crude rejection system, so that any sender IP found on anti-spam blacklists were simply rejected with no notification to the intended recipient. My email setup works by having a single destination of my own domain,...

Hello, I wondered if anyone has any thoughts on TPON lines? How to get them converted to copper would be a good place to start. I've got no further than finding the latest info on Samknows (dated 2004)

I know this subject has probably been done to death many times before, but with the goalposts changing almost daily, can anyone recommend a good uncapped service? Cost of service is not the most important factor (although still fairly important!), however reliability of service is along with technical support, etc. I don't want to get involved with any of these herberts who have crappy...

Hello, Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing intermittent drops in connectivity by Plus.Net? Over the last four weeks I am continually having to reconnect to their service. Plus.Net's response to my query being:
