Well my modified BT ADSL faceplate has finally arrived from clarity, but I need help to wire it up. I'm ok at the faceplate end, Wires 2,3,4 & 5 are self explanitory. I intend to use the other two wires (1 & 6) to push ADSL around the rest of the house using the A & B terminals. I have also bought an ADSL plate for the phone socket by the computer. Here is where I need confirmation. Clarity say...

Hi, I've had this problem over the last week or so. No hardware changes. Have swapped line filter to no avail. I'm with Tiscali and up to this point have had no trouble. The problem seems to be strangely intermittent. The only change I can see is that the speed of Tiscali has mysteriously changed from 576K to 2.2M bps. Any suggestions? Thanks, Martin J.

Couldn't find it in the FAQ, tech support fairly non-committal......... Can I use a router with a built in modem on any Wanadoo BB package? Or am I tied to their crappy USB thing with ICS as the only option? I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, but my mate already has an account and wants me (this always happens) to sort it out. Cheers

Anyone else had problems this afternoon..? Useless tech support line knows nothing as usual. Ok now here but has been off for most of the afternoon. Ivor

Hi, My Cable Modem Terayon TJ210 fried after a power-cut, can I buy one (or equivalent) myself, and am I able to configure it with the correct MAC address?

Called BT today to cancel my broadband contract as I can get a connection through work. As usual the operator had to work through their script, and you might be interested to know that they are now offering 13 months for the price of 12 to retain customers who are calling to cancel. Be ready for 30 minutes wait to speak to someone though. It says something for their customer care that you can...

My WinXP PC has a problem:( and my Win98 PC on the same router does not:) My broadband connection on the XP PC is fine until;- When I leave the XP PC for a while and it goes to standby, then when I move the mouse to wake it up my broadband will not connect. Every thing looks OK, the Zone Alarm icon shows a connection, the lights on the ZyXEL router flash but browsers or mail/news programmes will...

Hi, Does anyone know if you can send faxes with Plusnet broadband? I know it's possible to receive them with their Fax2email service. I used to have Home Highway and used BT Speedway fax software to send faxes. Anyone know if this will work with broadband? Am using XP. Graham Daniels

Apologies if this type of problem has been posted and already answered I had a quick scan but couldn't see it. I signed up with OneTel broadband four months ago and everything seemed to be going fine, went for the 512 line, they sent me the Speedtouch 330 USB modem and I was a happy bunny downloading every- thing I wanted, as much as I wanted. Then suddenly the line went a bit funny, I switched...

Hi, every ISP I look at I see the upload as 256kbps, might one day this be i dunno 512 or more? And also, I see NTL and Telewest do inet who also do digital TV - might sky do it one day?

Anyone got a list of public availible proxies I can use? Cheers

Hi there. My connection drops out every few hours for about 30 mins. I have tried a new router, but get the same. Are these setting to high / low? Any thoughts would be appreciated. BT have been informed, but still waiting for an eng visit. Thanks in advance.

They are defantley buying an ISP, they have basically admitted it. Does anyone have any idea who it is? I heard it was a three way race between F2S, Vispa and NDO. Vispa have since said it is not them and people have been pestering F2S to deny such rumours and they haven't denied any of them, which is making a lot of freedom2surf customers very twitchy.

Hello Still trying to grow in understanding - I've seen posts in this group that say, with broadband you need a software firewall as well as the hardware firewall built into your modem/router. This seems to be based on the idea that hardware routers stop incoming assaults, but don't stop outgoing "phone home" or mailer viruses/trojans from dialling out. BUT - if there is no dial-up modem...
