Looking for recommendations for a BB provider for my sister, she needs/wants; 512k or better High or no dl cap (Initial use probably high) Not using a LLU product (for easy migration) Free setup/connection Approx 20 quid or less per month. She has a router so modem not needed but free hardware is always nice.

Hi all I am new to the group and considering BB especially with the revision of prices - and the fact that I can now get it here in the country! I guy at work commented that he and some others had done side by side comparisons of BT & Wanado speeds (on screen meters?-I am not sure), but they were absolutely convinced that on the same "quoted" line speed of 1Mb BT was "MUCH" faster that...

"William" wrote in message ... I have Demon Express 512kbps for 24.99 per month which seems relatively expensive. If I was to change to their Home product - same speed at 19.99 per month, I would have to suffer some 2 weeks without a service. Is there a better option than Demon, or are Demon likely to reduce...

Hi all, With regards to Pipex users being upgraded whenever BT get round to their exchange, is there a list being managed so we can check and share the details of which exchanges have or haven't been upgraded? Al

Hi all I'm a hi-velocity customer with their 512k package - all well and good until today when I tried to contact them with a view to moving lines - their website seems to be dead and the emails I have sent to the previously working sales@ and info@ addresses have failed. Any ideas? Graeme

I have just installed my Vigor 2600G and it appears to be working fine. I have a laptop connected via a wireless connection. I have set up 128 bit WEP and also enabled access control using the MAC address of my wireless PCMCIA card. What would a hacker need to do to spoof the MAC address of my wireless card? If it's difficult to spoof the address do I need WEP or WPA as well as

I am on the Zen 512 service and many of my friends are reporting their ISP has upgraded them to1mb or even 2mb for the same monthly costs. Any ideas if Zen may offer to upgrade me or should I look at changing ISP Ken

Hi all, sorry this may not be the right place to post this, but you all seem to know alot about this sort of thing, If I wanted to set up my xbox to xbox live I was wondering if this set up would work: http://img212.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img212&image=layout4zb.jpg Where "A" is a switch (Netgear FS605). The router is a Netgear DG834 (wired not wireless) with built in ADSL modem.

Hi I've had ADSL up and running for about three weeks, its been fine until this weekend but now I keep loosing the connection from my router (Netgear DG834 not wireless) to the exchange. The router reconnects within a couple of mins. The only thing I've changed is to upgrade the firmware of the router. Looking at the support pages of my ISP (Metronet) the only reasons for this problem that...

Hello all, W98SE & Speedtouch modem We have just managed to get the Speedtouch software to install after 4 attempts, 2 of these causing W98 to loose some drivers and refuse to boot necessitating 2 re-installs, and on the final attempt having to manually find ISDN.dll and ATMUI.dll files. All is working - why did we wait so long? The speed is fantastic compared to 56k. Cannot find any way to...

Does anyone know if, when on ntl broadband, I will be able to send email via a 3rd party secure (or, to be precise, authenticated) SMTP server, i.e. not via normal smtp.ntlworld.com? I have just signed up for ntl broadband, but it hasn't been installed yet, so don't say check it out yourself :) I have a few domains with 1&1 and they use secure (auth.smtp.etc.etc) mail servers. Now, I want...

Is there such a thing as a double adapter that allows you to plug 2 PCs into one ADSL modem as we currently need to keep plugging and unplugging depending who wants to use the Broadband. Dont want a network etc and dont want to use the PCs online at the same time. Thnx in advance.

Got a letter saying that from April they will upgrade all connections, subject to line quality, to 2MB, without increasing the price. Goodo, I say.

I have an older, enginner installed ADSL connection, with the double faceplate. I used to see a noise margin (3com router) of 26db in each direction, with an old BT phone plugged in. With a new (cheap) Dect phone plugged in the Noise margin sank to 6db! As I assume the line is already filtered, would another filter help or is the phone just rubbish? Whilst on the subject, the only reason...

I'm running 0.9.9.9 beta 2 - occasionally netmeter flips and it keeps coming up with loads of popups saying the parameter is incorrect and I have to reboot my PC. Does anyone else get this or know what the cure is Cheers -- Mike
