I currently use Virgin ADSL Broadband and have been asked to send 3 Photo's as an e-mail attachment. Each file is approx 4.8mb in size but when I try to send I get a message stating 'Your SMTP server has not responded in 60 secs - would you like to wait another 60 secs'. The delivery then fails even if selecting to wait another 60 secs and also if I try to send the photo attachments individually...

A friend of mind is in the process of getting a Broadband service from PlusNet and has received an email which contains this piece of good news: To confirm, your PlusNet account details are as follows: * Your e-mail address is , where postmaster can be replaced by any word you like or any existing mailboxes on your account. * Your Web address...

Is it just me, or does this condition in V21's terms and conditions seem somewhat devious: ----------------------- 16.8 In the event that V Two One agrees to you migrating your connection to an alternative provider, you must pay all the Charges due, up to and including the date of expiry of the Minimum Period, and you must pay a migration charge of £30.00 including VAT before V Two One will...

UK slipping behind in broadband race, warns CMA The Communication Management Association Conference 2005 kicked off today with a call for the UK government to push forward broadband. Unless broadband was pervasive, UK business could lose out, particularly in terms of innovative services that would be developed in Asia-Pacific, the CMA said. CMA chairman Phil Sayer called for the DTI to take a...

Hello all! I'm thinking about migging to UKOnline in the next few days (have had my MAC code sorted for about 15 days now so its getting to the time I should be thinking of ordering). I was just wondering if anyone had already migrated to the 8000kbit/s service and what their thoughts were? I've been reading a few horror stories on ADSLguide of people going from nice solid 230kbytes/s on...

Hi all, Let me straight off the bat state that I am a ****ed off Plusnet customer. I have been with them for a year or so no, having migrated from BTOpenworld and was *absolutely* sold a monthly contract unlimited service and had this confirmed on numerous occasions. By unlimited, I understood this to mean that I could download as much as I wanted within the physical constraints of the...

Dear group, A colleague has just self-installed a Homecall package and tells me it takes tens of minutes to get any web page to load. My guess is there's something wrong with the modem or the copper between him and the exchange whereas he has paid 30 quid so far to have "Technical Support" tell him he has "spyware" from his dialup days. The machine is problem free otherwise, but I will be...

Hi I have a problem with sister in laws connection to AOL Broadband, the connection cannot be made when the filter is plugged in , I have changed the filters round, the modem does have to be connected via a 8 or 9 meter cable, would this cause the connection to be lost when the filter is connected ? TIA Dale

All other groups (like this one) are ok but for some reason the binarie groups are not being updated since the 19th Feb. Is this a problem or a 'new feature'? Using NThelLs groups via the sublime tesco.net. thx

Can anyone tell me apart from Metronet which ISP's do L2TP termination themselves? I'm looking into migrating and have a USR SureConnect 9003 which apparently has problems with this Thanks Nicola

Hi all! Just put a PC together for a mate and he's looking at broadband. Any idea where to go? The market looks chaotic at the moment. Need free modem, free connection and a minimum of 512Kbs.. Pharm.. -- Drop the dex to reply.

Hey all I meant to ask this last week but forgot. Is it normal to lose Caller-ID (CID) functionality after having ADSL activated on your line? If not, and BT haven't turned CID off (it was on by default) then what could cause this behaviour? Thanks Richard

I have set up my webspace but still can't get in. Anyone else managed to sort this out???? Match

I have tried these free dns server and they such, there is nothing better than a static ip address and zoneedit.com anyway you need a static ip for the mail server as most of you emails will be returned with a dynamic not even worth concidering when a lot of ISP's give static ip's for free.

Hi all I have just got a Speedtouch modem from BT which came with a cd Now I do not want all the crap that is on the cd I do not use Ie OR outlook I have installed the drivers from the cd for the modem all ok

In common with other readers here, I've been looking for a tool to measure the traffic on my broadband connection. It looks like the freeware version of PRTG (www.paessler.com) will fit the job well, and I had it working on one of the machines on my home LAN. However, on the (fixed) machine it will not work at all - it starts, the prtg.exe tasks are running but now graphing window appears. Any...
