According to my router my attenuation is 48.5, according to the Pipex website and also the BT broadband checker my line only supports 512kb, is this right? I thought the limits were higher now. With the new pricing announced by Pipex, if I can't get at least 1mb then I may as well switch to a cheaper ISP, as there seems to be no indication that Pipex will drop the price for anyone that can't...

The whole point about using a filtered faceplate is that you do not require any other filters. The only thing that puzzles me is how you ever got an ADSL signal from the POTS socket of the faceplate in the first place. So connect your modem to the RJ45 (lefthand socket) And all your phones to the BT socket (or Krone them to the back of the faceplate) and forget about additional filters.

Hi uk.t.b, Tiscali Broadband "does not support migration" all they will give is the CBUK number - am I able to migrate from these cowboys with just the CBUK - how do I get Tiscali's Teletubbies to gimme a MAC? Any similar Tiscali Experiences?

Here are the line quality figures reported by my Netgear DG834G router... ADSL Link---------------Downstream Upstream Connection Speed----- 576 kbps 288 kbps Line Attenuation------- 39 db 11 db Noise Margin------------ 13 db 31 db Can anyone tell me what the max speeds are that I can hope to get on my line? I'm 1.4Km from the exchange as the crow...

I recently upgraded our business account from Telewest to a "fixed" IP. However, it has become apparant that the IP still comes from a dynamic IP block. Telewest say that they only offer truely static IP's to leased line customers...how many small/medium sized businesses can afford a leased line?! I am running an exchange server but having a few problems with SPAM blocking services such as...

Hi I'm currently experiencing problems with Wanadoo's Speedtouch 330 modem. The lights appeared on the first installation but the modem no longer lights up. This is despite un-installing and re-installing numerous times, trying different USB ports, downloading a free fix patch (REFFIUP04940100 - apparently solves the problem on Packard Bell PCs, but mine is a Mesh PC with Win XP) - all on the...

Dear all I am currently with Pipex, as many of you know Pipex recently offered to doubled the speed of their customers connection (if your line can take it) for free. The question is when? I have phoned Pipex who said they don’t know it’s down to BT !! My questions are what are the upgrades required?

Has anyone been fortunate enough to have had their speeds increased by BT as promised?

These dudes who download 150gb+ a mo, and keep on doing it. I wonder what there is left to download and what they do with the data? I'm not criticising, just wondering! I only got BB in Nov last year, after years of dreaming of it. Of course, I went download bonkers in the first six weeks. Downloaded any old ****e as long as it was big. Even then, on a 2mb pipe I only did 75gb.

Hi, I was just wondering, has anyone here who has/had a Netgear DG834 router had any problems with it? Thanks

I want to phone them up tomorrow to get mine.Its time to leave :-) Are they using delay tatics? As i was just reading this http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=unhappiness&Number=1664466&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0

Hi, can anyone tell me if it is at all possible to sign up to a broadband provider even if the person has "total call barring" on outgoing calls? BT still haven't e-mailed me back about this one! thanks, Marc

Before you order broadband is there any way (perhaps a utility) to check what the attenuation, SNR, etc is on a phone line? and if so how? Also can someone recommend a site that lists the values of the SNR etc to give an idea of the maximum speed that can be had on a particular line. A friend wants broadband and while broadband checkers say he should be able to have upto 2meg, he would like to...

Hi, I'm on a wireless 1mb SDSL, which is affected by contention. This isn't a problem, but I'd like to be able to monitor it. Can anyone recommend a speed tester that will sit on a server (win/linux) and just check the connection every hour, and log the results? Many thanks,

I got one of these from Scan, and have used the latest drivers Followed this page http://www.svcheats.co.uk/alpci.htm and I am synched OK. The icon in the system tray is correctly showing downstream 2MB, upstream 256 and I am with freedom2surf. However when I click on the connect icon, I get a BSOD. It could either be after success/fail to check password, but it certainly wasn't happening...
