Hi there, My cousin looked into getting a BT Line and they wanted £160 to put one in. It used to be £125 for the line so this is a lot of money.

Hi all I built a PC for the mother-in-law recently, setup her Broadband and all has been well until Friday. She can browse the web no problem but can't log into Hotmail, nor can she log into Talk Talk to check her account details. She presses "Sign In" after entering her details and then nothing happens and I think it eventually times out. Trying to assist over the phone I got her to log in as a...

For 24 hours now Tesco.net have not had their servers supplying me with NGs, anyone else effected? Tesco I guess do not have servers but use a subcontractor so other ISPs might well be effected. 24 hours off seems a long time to fix. Tesco web page says more news at 10-30am. -- Regards, David

I recently moved house and arranged with my broadband supplier, Tiscali, to transfer the service to my new address. Having moved in I have no broadband. On phoning Tiscali, they say there is a ‘tag on the line and I have to contact BT’. When contacting BT I’m told ‘it’s not there tag and it’s up to my provider to resolve’. Can anyone advise how to proceed as I’m getting nowhere?

I use Tesco broadband and Outlook Express and am subscribed to 12 newsgroups. For fully 3 years clicking on "Synchronise Account" had downloaded new messages to those ngs without problem, but since about mid-day on June 30th "SA" has brought down no new messages. The Checking / Downloading panel with its list of ngs appears and is run through, but in each case I am told there are no new...

There is approx 900 metres of cable between my PC and the exchange and I've had the line checked and been told it is up to spec. ADSL Max is available. However most online broadband checkers advise I can only get a maximum speed of 2 meg on my line. This is odd, as I know someone that lives a bit further from the same exchange than I do and they get a 6 meg connection through BT. I've had...

The exchange I'm on has got a WBC 21CN activation date of next Wednesday. Should I expect the earth to move? -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting:

Hi ... The GF is moving into a new (rented) flat. The guy leaving has been with TW/BY/VM for a few years. Are they likely to allow her to 'take over' his account (+ she wants to downgrade - doesn't need the TV stuff)? Cheers ... Mark

I notice on Netgear's Web site that various firmware upgrades are available for my router, in particular: 4.01.37 (for outside NA) 24/3/08 4.01.28 (for UK) 31/5/07 The question is, is it 4.01.37 or 4.01.28 that should be used in the UK?

I want an ISP that will give me a static IP address and won't mind how much I download/upload. I do not mind paying £50-70 a month if that is what's neccessary.. any recommendations? Cheers Mike P

I'm a bit confused because if I enter a neighbour's phone number into Be's website (I don't have an active BT line at the moment), it offers me all 3 Packages. I just became aware of this site http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/ which says this about my local exchange: "BT are currently upgrading each exchange to be able to offer WBC which will also bring ADSL2+ speeds of up to 24Mbps."
