Hi, pointless_rant It this normal ? ie one requests a mac code from the current iSP in this case 'post office' and within a few hours the download speed drops to around 1Mb and download to .05 . Has now been at that for 3 days, support suggested I restart the browser ! ( I don's see how that would help my ssh connections )

We are having problems with internet download speeds.. We have a 3.6mb Sat link --- and at times we have worse than dial up response...the Sat link stats are all in the green but the service seems poor... but i have just realised that FTP and Youtube always seems fast? is it possible that an error can exist in our network that only causes problems with internet pages and not p2p

I was just happily browsing the web using my Three dongle. It was topped up to 5GB a few days ago. Suddenly I got a text Alert stating that my credit was about to run out. I called 333 and the Customer Service Agent hadn't got a clue what was going on. CJB. ======================= On the My3 web site my account states that I have

Please can anybody recommend a good NG for questions about a Panasonic Easa-Phone 30810BE - I want to add an extra extension but the phone I plug in behaves oddly. Thanks -- Graham J uk.telecom would be the most appropriate group, although many of its inhabitants

I know there are a few ISPs who offer ADSL on a contract of less than 12 months - Plusnet and Be are two examples. But are there any who offer a ADSL and phone line together for shorter periods? Will OpenReach even allow you to do that? Thanks Theo

Just what goes on in that bowl?

Why is it VM still want you to sign up for a phone line whenever you take another service like broadband? In this day and age they should be providing a voip-capable cpe. Besides, I only want cable as a second internet connection. I'll keep the DSL line as a backup, and for that I need a phone line anyway, not that I use it. (insert rant about VM still advertising fibre-optic consumer...

Is anyone using one of the subject devices? I just bought one and I can not get it to connect with my VF TopUp and Go Mobile Broadband SIM. I see that the "Configure Profile Settings" page of the device's Admin web server shows a Profile Name of "3UK" with a static APN of "3internet" and all of the fields on that page are greyed out and not changeable. Can anyone with experience of this model...

For the past few days I haven't been able to connect to nntp.dsl.pipex.com. It seems to be rejecting my password, although none of my settings have changed. Is anyone else having problems with nntp.dsl.pipex.com? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: ---

In the past, everything was running on an in-house FreeBSD server running on ADSL. It worked OK but we had various issues with spam handling... and obviously a lack of 24/7 operation, especially under power cuts etc. We have just had a 20hour power cut (countryside near Brighton!). We have a UPS but it's no good for 20hrs. Having moved my antispam filtering to Messagelabs (£420/year but it

Any ideas what went wrong with the Virgin net e-mail yesterday? Is there still a queue of e-mails in transit?

Our access started to become flakey on Sunday, then on Monday we could not even get any of our modems to connect. The phone was still working, so on Monday evening we rang Tiscali (Talk-Talk) only to be advised the entire UK was off. Same story From Tiscali Wednesday. Come Thursday evening (last night), we still had no access, so rang Tiscali again and after getting rather stroppy with...

Anybody know what has happened to the SamKnows website? I can't access anything to do with broadband availability and the 'contact us' doesn't work! Peter

This is probably just a frustrated rant... So here's the issue - and it's been going on for some years now... We get a period of hot, dry weather and then my ADSL line starts to drop-out. A bit of wind, such as today makes it worse. I've tried everything I feel I can try at my end - 3 different filters, 2 different ADSL modem/routers (although both Draytek, but different models), going into...

What speed increase are people typically seeing relative to adsl max on adsl2+ enabled exchanges? Are there any problems resulting from exchange upgrade? How badly should I want my exchange to be upgraded to adsl2+ ? -- Mark Lewis, North Somerset
