Since the 26th of April my broadband connection has been down. I was orginally with Central point who were then bought out by Fast 24 and was migrated over, with no problems, in the 3 years i've had broadband i've never had down time, until now. After a couple of days i phoned Fast 24 whom reported a fault to BT who took their time in getting back in touch. No problem they reported, so after...

I have been experiencing a phenomenon for the last couple of years where the ASDL connection is getting dropped and a quick re-boot of the router does not fix it. The only thing that seems to recover my connection is to disconnect the from the phone line for at least 5 minutes and only then reconnect and re-power the router (Mentor ALSL/MR4-UK). Is there something at the DSLAM/exchange end which...

Does TT have a news server?? if so, what is it?? if not, can i use any other server??

A quick question as we are setting up a friend's new BT Yahoo Broadband connection tomorrow. He wants to use his broadband connection on his laptop using a modem/router while at home but also to have access to his account via the 56K modem on dial-up while in the country. BT don't seem to be able to understand this question and come back saying one can't use more than one connection to an...

I have a client who had a OneTel ADSL which was cancelled by OneTel by mistake. He decided to move to Demon. The move has been dragging on for three weeks (I suspect the old ADSL was not fully cancelled so the new order failed somehow) BT now confirm that the line is clear of ADSL and Demon promise to have it working in 5 working days.

While many other countries are steaming ahead with adsl 2 and common speeds like 24mbps we are luckly if we have an ISP who has 'upgraded' to Max DSL. If I call my ISP fast4 all I keep being told is 'in a few weeks' 2 months later !! Be internet has lot the plot also, now thier customer services is in India The UK in the backwater of technology again :-(

"AOL with something like 1.2 million broadband connections in the UK is one of the large players, and if the rumours are correct AOL are looking for someone to buy the business. This follows on from reports that AOL is looking to leave the French and German markets also."

I was most amused to day to get a call at the office from Pipex. The woman, with a deep african accent, asked me how I was getting on with Pipex. I told her that I would be switch to Talk Talk as soon as my 12 months was up. I told her I just did not like the way Pipex are always trying to get a few more quid out of the punter. She went on to tell me that Talk Talk was rubbish, they limit...

Hi, Some time ago I called BT about my lack of being able to get higher speed broadband. They did a test of the line and rang me back saying that the line showed to have a fault. Then they asked me if the line had anything connected to it. Of course it did, I was talking to the BT person using a telephone connected to the line for starters. The line also had an active ADSL connection running...

Acording to the BT web-site: Your exchange is ADSL enabled, and our initial test on your line indicates that your line should be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides a line rate up to 1Mbps. However due to the length of your line the 1Mbps service may require an engineer visit who will, where possible, supply the broadband service. Our test also indicates that your line should...
