It's rather rare for me to pass compliments. But the following is deserved. For several years I have been accustomed to receiving 300 or more spam items each day. The usual rubbish including masses of porn. I use Windows-98, Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I have no anti-spam software. I have the free AVG anti-virus program. A few months back I changed to BT Broadband, the £24 per...

My router says 58db, BT says its 62db. How do I force BT into accepting my router reading and giving me 1mb broadband?

I am a heavy user, and make no apologies - no point having a 'contended' service we pay for and then not allowed to use the b/w that's there. So, are Zen great, good, or bad. I am interested in their 1Mb unlimited service, maybe 2 but even a heavy user does not need 2Mb - and I grab a lot a day. So, is Zen reliable, the sevrice normally working and fast fixes, I

Until this morning, I was on Solo 150. I have logged on this evening, and I am now on Solo 250....woo-hoo! Anyone else been upgraded yet? Looking at my further upgrade options, they seem to have done away with Solo 500, or at least it wasn't in the grid as an option.....is this correct?

I would just like to point out that I am in no way associated with http://www.muxton.com. It advertises Plusnet on its site, which is something I would never do. Jake

with my old dialup (pre broadband) there was an icon (two computers) on the start bar in the bottom right corner by the time. when you click on this icon you could not only disconnect but get some info about bytes sent and received. is there something similar i can use on my win98 box that will give me realtime info about the broadband connection. I have a netgear dg824m adsl wireless...

At present I am sharing my connection on two computers using ms internet sharing and am thinking of either buying a router to use with my existing modem(speedtouch 330), or a combined modem/router. Which is the best way to go and any recommends on makes please. Thanks. Regards Alan

Is there a way of increasing the download speed beyond your upload limit?

I'll apologise right up front for this, it's probably a really stupid question, but... First, here's the situation: 1) I've signed up for broadband with Zetnet, and this rural area has only recently got it. I had a visit from a BT engineer last week, it was supposed to be switched on yesterday (Wednesday) or earlier. 2) Zetnet tell me that the switch on has been delayed, but can't tell

Can anyone tell me, does the Draytek 2600G/2600VG have a menu option to turn of the wireless when it's not needed? Thanks. Jc.

Hi I have recently installed 1mb ADSL from Metronet, I frequently check my speed at ADSLGuide and the Liberty Broadband Windsor Hall Speed Tester, and am disappointed to find I am getting readings mainly around 500K bits per sec, often falling much lower and occasionally rising to 750 or 800K, only once has it been as high as 1000K. Ping rates to UK addresses are between 32 and 39ms and to...

We are being broadband activated tomorrow. (Friday). We have been sent by my Wife's company a D-Link DSL 502T Router. (The company are supplying and paying for, the broadband connection!) I already have a LAN which I set up myself between my laptop and my Desktop via a Netgear 4 port hub. What will happen is that my Wife's laptop and the router will both connect into the remaining two ports...

Their www server is generally ok but why is their Usenet News server so slooooow? There's no comparison between that and news.individual.net which always runs at a decent speed. Regards Mike.

Hi, Musing on how reasonable the caps are. I have just decided to build a new system using Linux Fedora Core 3. The DVD install image is just over 4Gbytes. This will blow away the 'low user' caps immediately.

A friend of mine joined Tiscali 15months ago. about 3 months ago he got a letter from them telling him something was wrong with his account and a bill for £119. It seems they couldnt get the money from his account but waited for over a year before doing anything. Due to the terms and conditions the account should have been suspended after 30 days. Will I have to pay all this back money all...
