Just to clarify, I'm being lazy, not the microfilter. I just need to ask if I have a reasonable set up to my Wireless Modem Router......... The main BT box is located near my front door, but I need the modem to be located in the middle room downstairs or the signal strength is low in the rooms at the back of the house upstairs. So I am using a telephone extension cable from the main box to...

Hi, Today I have had a wiring fault. I have corrected it but I am puzzled by it and would like to learn what has happened in case it ever happens again. Basically, my router kept dropping DSL every few seconds. I checked with the test socket and got a solid connection. I went to the first slave socket and disconnected any extensions from there. No good. I took the faceplate off and...

I have to recommend a low cost ISP for a friend, she's in her 70s and this will be her 1st computer, and her first ISP. I don't expect her bandwidth requirements will top 1Gb/month for the first year. We are not close to the exchange, I get 1.5Mb, she is about the same distance, so we are not expecting 5M - and the exchange is not LLUed at all (according to Sam). Madasafish seem to have the...

Hi All, OK, I've had rubbish speed all week so decided I'd call Virgin Media and speak to someone about it. He said that I'm on the 'Capped User' list for the whole of this week as I had downloaded more than 5GB last week. I told him that I was only getting around 70kbps during the evenings and he didn't seem at all surprised by this as he said that the capped

If you fall into any of the above categories simply fish out the little envelope that comes with your bill, put the junk leaflets inside of it (remember to keep your bill) and write something suitable across them - such as 'you waste much more ink printing this leaflet than you do my bill' and pop it back in the postbox WITHOUT A STAMP ON IT. For extra effect stick a 'special...

Hi all I am looking for advice on methods of Internet access for roaming laptop users. Specifically this may include a requirement for Skype type VOIP connectivity. These users will be travelling literally anywhere in the world and staying for upto 6 months. Likely destinations are Europe, Russia and former Russian countries.

Hi, I've registered my own .co.uk domain and my current ISP won't allow me to use this domain when I send emails. Since this is being done on the cheap, is there a free email provider which will allow me to register my domain with them and send emails with the appropriate domain in the 'from' and 'reply' fields? I've tried gmail, but the outgoing emails appear as on behalf...

I am aware of the traffic management policy that Virgin Media uses. I have a Size M connection (2Mb) and it is limited to 1Mb for 5hrs if more than 300MB are downloaded between 4pm to 9pm. http://www.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management.php Therfore in theory, with a 2Mb connection it will take 20 minutes to download 300MB so I should be able to start a large download after about 8:45pm and...

Received in the post today. Dear Mr Xxxxxxx. We have a few things to tell you about your Virgin media services, so we thought we'd drop you a line. The first is all about the cost of services. From 1st June your services will cost £1.50 a month more.*

Currently on telewest cable broadband but moving to ADSL2+ The modem they provide give an ethernet output for which i can connect any router i want, e.g. Apple airport base station. Is this same scenario possible with an ADSL modem? I can only seem to find ADSL modems with USB (Speedtouch), not ethernet. Do I need to buy a new built in adsl modem router? this would be a

I send email from a secure SMTP AUTH server, but one which is running on a unix machine on the end of an ADSL line. The ISP (Eclipse) assure us that the fixed IP is not part of any dynamic IP block, and indeed we have never found this IP in any of the blacklists, including those that claim to carry dynamic IP blocks. Yet quite a lot of my emails end up in peoples' spam filters. Nearly everybody...

A friend is getting BT broadband on 9th May. Option 1 is now supplied with the BT Home Hub, looking on their website it appears that it doesn't come supplied with a wireless receiver. This will be required as the PC is a desktop not located beside a phone point and installing an extra phone point is not an option. Recommendations required as to what type would be most suitable and give a...

As I'm on a Max product now I'm feeling the urge to get as much as I can out of my long line. Are there any routers that are particularly good with long lines or is my Netgear 834G going to give me about the best sync I can expect? -- WCZ

I am moving into a property with a disconnected BT line from the previous tenants (the line is still physically connected and there is a box on the wall) A few years ago, when this was the case, connection was free and you were subject to 3 month minimum term. Is this still the case?
