I've just downgraded my 2mb connection to 1mb on pipex. I'm looking to migrate to a cheaper 1mb service. Anybody have suggestions on ISP's below £30 with no download caps and preferably with free migration? Thanks Dan

I'm tearing my hair out trying to get my network to run in 108mbps mode. I have: Netgear DG834GT 108mbps router 1 PC with Netgear WG111T 108mbps USB adaptor 1 PC with Netgear WG311T 108mbps PCI adaptor All the above work fine together in b/g modes. But they just won't work in 108mbps mode. They only way I can get them to work is be disabling WEP and

Curious as to whether wireless routers with 2 antennae are more effective than those with 1, like my Linksys??

Can anyone who understands the workings of the Draytek 2600 give some help to someone who has almost zero knowledge of setting it up, particularly the TCP/IP part, so I can get it to talk to another router? TIA Peter Crosland

I know I moan a lot, well a litle but christmas day when I needed to IM a friend my modem was acting odd with a sync prob. For a laugh I phoned Central Point and guess what someone was in and I fixed it. So for a change a well done. Anyone else try it?

I'm not sure what their ADSL service is like now, but if Claranews is anything to go by, I'd recommend you avoid Clara.Net like the plague. Claranews can be summed up in one word - ****.

Once again Netgear have closed the tech support ticket with out any response, in fact I got their email after they had closed their ticket.... So guess whose had to open another one, cutting & pasting all my responses to their emails as they claim that they aren't receiving any.. Clever ploy, offer a email tech support system but set it up so that they don't receive mail.........

Does anyone know if the 2GB cap on Wanadoo broadband is in action yet on their 512kbps service? They said it would start in late 2004 but I haven't heard any anouncements about it.

I am on BTBroadband. Don't get many problems. What is "BTOpenworld" which is frequently mentioned in newsgroups.? --- Reg

My knowledge of this subject is very basic. Hopefully I can receive guidance from someone regarding the following: A local Community Building is due to have Broadband installed. I assume that a router will be employed for the connection. On an occasional basis it is proposed to use the same Broadband service in a remote part of the building. I doubt whether the Committee will want to use...

I'm on the point of changing from BT dialup to broadband and was trying to decide best package. I am looking at Wanadoo's 1M/2GB £17.99 package and have a few questions. Can I still access my old BT email address? What is Wanadoo's level of service? Newsgroup access? Is this going to mess up my phone in any way? Any other problems? Thanks for help,

My line noise margin varies between 25 and 14 (or lower). Does this indicate a faulty line or is variation during the course of a day - and a few minutes - part of normal line function? Gareth.

I am currently considering the purchase of a Laptop for my Daughter's Twenty First birthday and am suffering many hints from her that I must not choose it for her but that she must have a say in it. While I have a certain amount of sympathy for that viewpoint, as I am the person forking out the money I consider it reasonable that I should have some sort of say in the matter. I have spent...

a little (lot of) advice please My friend has an office with 10 pcs. Currently they are connected to the internet via a switch and an isdn modem. There is a server which runs exchange for the emails to be internally distributed from an externally hosted website. I am guessing that the exchange server is used purely because the the domain name is being taken from the webservice and then...

I have a wireless modem/router at home (Dlink DSL G604T) and a PC with an access point (DSL-2000AP+) hanging off it's ethernet port. There are a couple of other PCs on the wireless network but they connect fine. Do I configure the 2000AP+ as a "Wireless Client" or as an "Access Point" ? (It does bridging and something else too but that definately isn't it). Confused, Alfie.

Anyone got first hand experience of these? I am considering the Hawking HNC300 from Ebuyer. Suggestions for alternatives or more appropriate NGs for queries would be welcome Peter Crosland

I lost my ADSL connection yesterday - Zen logged the fault with BT, who seem to have solved the issue and noted the cause as above. What does this mean, how does it occur and am I more likely to see it again if I've experienced it once? Thanks, Jez

Broadband newbie looking to buy my first broadband package... I have a BT telephone line and a IBM Thinkpad 600X laptop. Currently I am looking at BT Broadband 512k/15 GB per month -- £25 per month. Modem supplied and signing-up and connection should be no hassle as far as I can tell. But the price seems expensive. Any cheaper packages out there?

Update on my post yesterday. Funny thing is, ever since BT checked out the line and said it was all clear, I havent had the problem. Also, to my surprise I got a call from BT asking if i was still experiencing problems and said if i did have any further problems i should call them back. I asked if the line check did something to clear any glitches that may have existed on the line. She...
