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?

Hi, just wondering if this IP belongs to NTL ? 62.254.0.38 traced to: cache9-nott.server.ntli.net -- Thanks, David Ginger.

Lo all. Yet again my dsl service from Bulldog is not working. Three days and counting so far. When you check online they report 'no problems', yet my emails to them are instantly replied to with the standard 'We are currently receiving an unprecedented number of emails due to the recent network maintenance and unfortunately there will be delays in responding.' This is the second time in...

Today, I should be up and running with my new Pipex Solo 500 broadband package, but I'm not. Several times over the last two days I have attempted to install and connect the Speedtouch 330 modem which was supplied by Pipex as part of my Solo 500 service. As instructed I first insert the Speedtouch CD and install the software. Next I connect the USB modem and filters.

Hello, I am on ADSL with ClaraNet and am on the 512 incoming, 256 outgoing package, and am just really wondering what speeds other people get When I am downloading things it usually settles on around 56K/B Jayne

BT's customer loss worsening Fri 29 October, 2004 14:03 LONDON (Reuters) - BT Group lost about half a million fixed-line customers during the July-to-September quarter, with cut-price offerings from rivals accelerating defections.

On the 22nd of October I switched from BTYahoo broadband to Central Point, and 3 days later my service failed, and I have had nothing from Central Point since. Not a dicky bird. They say that BT are investigating a fault. What can be going on here, as I do not believe the "fault" story? I have had BB service from BTYahoo with no problems for over a year. It all looks a bit too coincidental to...
