Can anyone tell me what make and model hardware that you get if you buy from plusnet, in particular, their one port and two port routers and of course there internal pci adsl modem. Thanks in advance du.

When is this shambles of a company going to get it's wake up call? Not happy with the numerous issues around incorrect billing where "the customer" has to prove they were short changed by the woefully inadequate Plusnet billing systems/staff http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=plusnet&Number=1453407&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=0 or the poor customer service where the...

Bit of a largish update this one. Seems the new look on Bug went down well with pollers too - so we'll keep it for a while. Enjoy ======================================================================== *Blueyonder move to a more 'simplified' pricing structure*

A software supplier is proposing to replace our Draytek 2600+ ADSL routers with Cisco 837s and from my perspective I can only see that they are doing this because they are familiar with the Cisco kit and have never actually used the Draytek. I'm sure the Cisco 837 is a good bit of kit but the supplier has also admitted that we will not gain any additional functionality and there are no...

Hi We have a baffling problem, which hopefully someone may have an answer for. Our network comprises of a Windows 2003 Server, and 12 Windows XP Workstations, connected by a mix of Wireless and Cable. We can access the BT Business Broadband fine using the Alcatel Speedtouch "Frog" USB Modem that came from BT, and this connection is then shared with the workstations. Our problem is that when...

Having just ordered Home 500, why are they quoting a set-up time of 15days when other providers do it in 5 days? Cap Smith

Can anyone one tell me how long it takes before you can actually use broadband from the moment you order it? Thanks in advance du.

I wonder has anyone here been tempted to buy into their cheap £14.99/month (inc. VAT) service? Given that BT will be providing the infrastructure, and assuming I pay by credit card it doesn't look as if I would be risking much going with them. I would like (but don't strictly need) the static-IP... Any first hand experience with this crowd?

Is there any site that broadcast cartoon network or other similar cartoon channels on the net. Since they went Pay TV in the UK, the kids miss this channel. And I was wondering if it could be watched over the net, on a 1meg broadband link.

Testing

Hi, I'm trying to search for an ISP who does broadband with 1MB (or faster!!) with no 12 month contract, No download limit (or with as big capacity as i can get) with little or no activation fee (cheap please!!) and who will allow P2P. And to tip the ice berg preferably under £35 a month. I'm probably asking for the impossible like but i can live in hope. Dial up is more than pathetic. If 512k...

Just like to say, plus.net - good work on quickly assigning me a /29 BUT it would have been *really* nice if you'd given advanced notice before you switched me over. Something like: your new block has been allocated (blah blah blah) and will be activated at 12.01 pm 02 nov 2004.

TalkTalk have announced their ADSL offering. It has 2 tariffs: NO monthly usage limit FREE modem FREE connection FREE evening and weekend calls to all UK landlines - Talk2 (similar to BT Together Option 2)

Hi, Can anyone help? We intend changing our dialup for Broadband and are unsure about a couple of things. We have two phone lines, one which is dedicated to internet via dialup. I know that with broadband you can have voice and data on the same line so we may be getting rid of one of the lines. 1. Does the broadband connection have to be placed on the phone point where it enters the house or can...

Hi guys Had broadband with Central point for about six weeks now. Very very happy with it. But I was round a friends the other night and he was able to connect a hell of alot faster than me. When I turn on ym pc, I have to wait at least a minute before the little light on my modem stops winking at me. It can sometimes take up to five minutes to establish a connection. My mates computer does...

Hi Just a few things that have always baffled me about my Broadband connection. I am on Pipex 1mb service and use a Speedstream 3060 modem. When connect to the net, how come I get a little 'bubble' message pop up from my Task Bar saying I have just connected at 2.8Mbps when I have a 1mb connection?

Hi there, are there any wireless routers with bandwith control for wireless clients? or would you need a special AP with these features?
