Hi I have Home Highway at the moment which mans I get 2 phone lines and the ISDN line. If I switch to broadband do I lose the second phone line and end up with just one phone line and the Broadband line. HH is the only way they could get a second phone line into my property and I really don't want to lose it.

I placed an order with PlusNet before my exchange was enabled. Over a week after it was enabled there was no movement on the order, and no order on BT for my telephone line. I contacted PlusNet who then placed an order, they told me that a fault in the BT ordering system sometimes "loses" orders if pre exchange enablement. So I suggest that if you order before exchange enablement you check...

BT has been chosen (out of 27 companies) as the preferred supplier to provide 100% "broadband coverage", bu the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland. It has to provide 100% coverage by the end of 2005. 100% "broadband coverage" means that as well as enabling every exchange in NI, it will have to find alternative solutions (wireless/mesh radio/satellite) for the...

What is a DSLAM ? Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer is a device usually located in the BT exchange that connects many digital subscriber lines to a network by multiplexing the ADSL traffic onto one or more network trunk lines. The ADSL lines go into the DSLAM and then go out to PVC's (Permanent Virtual Connections) these are where BT intends that contention should take place. They have...

Is there any ISP that can provide broadband just for two months ?

After many trips to the BT Broadband checker and finding out that my line is still too long I followed a bit of advice further down and tried Vispa. When I click the signup button, it asks for my phone number so it can check I can get broadband. I put the phone number in and the signup process continues. No "sorry you line is too long" or "you cannot get broadband". Does this mean that Vispa...

Can someone tell me if I have Telewest broadband (cable) is is posible for two Notebooks to share the broadband connection. If so what equipmebt would I need, There is no desktop involved. Also can they be connected wireless.

Someone has recently told me that a broadband connection wont slow, if two computers are sharing and using the internet connection at the same time. if you are using a 512kbps connection, shared with a router, you would have a slower connection if someone else is using it. eg using the same programs etc, 256kbps each. i dont see why if this isnt true, why a company could charge a higher price...

Hi all, I ordered DSL Connect 150 from plusnet afew weeks ago. Filled in all the online forms and got confirmation. After a little while I didnt hear anything, slightly confused I put a ticket in the system using their ticket system, querying as to when my line would be activated and hence when modem etc would arrive.

Can anyone recommend an ISP that will sponsor this? I'm looking into the possibility of setting up an NGO to provide rural broadband services to take advantage of this now that prices are reduced. The BT wholesale site has some ifo but the prices are out of date and the link to participating ISP's doesn't work. They also say this information can be located on "BT Extra" but all I can find with...
