I have got Freeserve Broadband on thier current no obligation offer - no setup or modem costs. If I continue after 30 days it will be £27.99 per month and a minimum 12 month contract. As higher broadband speeds start to arrive, when will the price drop? I'll be annoyed if I commit to 12 months at £27.99 per month and then the price drops to something like £19.99! Advice, please!

i use AOL and central point. They are very cheap and with the AOL dial-up, you dont get cut off all the! I find this setup excellent! I listen to radio stations off the net in CD quality and it is perfect, (busy periods do slow a bit!) I do a lot of brwosing and i find this certainly faster than normal dialup,

I see that PC World is doing a special offer on the Belkin wireless network internet sharing kit. It's £60 instead of £120 and comes with wireless DSL router and wireless notebook network card. I'd post a link to the product on PC World's website but it's isn't there. Is the Belkin router any good? It doesn't contain a modem but it's rated at 54mbs and has a (claimed) range of 1800 feet.

Hello, For this posting I have taken a couple of random IP address so that my quest for information is easier to explain. So far as I am aware the IP numbers do not exist. My Vigor 2600 has a public address IP address of 93.47.162.7 and is pretty much set up as it came out of the box. On the LAN there is a printer at fixed IP address 192.168.42.103

As subject, TIA

Don't flame me, I know this isn't uk.comp. adverts but that group has turned into a joke in the last six months for internal flame wars. I don't know who Nick LL is but he has wrecked the group. I have three/possibly four brand new Belkin 802.11g notebook cards for sale, link below to Belkin...

Is this the best price around incl postage ? http://tinyurl.com/vy9j

Hi. A friend has a midrange PC onto which he has just installed XP pro.

I went to Alcatels site and eventually got the latest drivers, R2.0.1.2. Installed the original drivers from the CD. Installed the update. ...

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help me. I have the Tiscali 3 times faster "broadband" but am having a problem. The sound on streaming audio is REALLY low volume. It is fine if I use my old freeserve dial-up. Any ideas? I have tried calling Tiscali and the helpline has been crap, they say it is my problem to sort. Until I can call their customer services on Monday I thought someone here may be able to...

Hi, Am thinking of going the wireless route for some home PCs. Is a combo wireless router/modem and firwall a good idea? If so does any ISP include it in their starting package (looking for approx £24pm). Or is it better/cheaper to buy a separate modem(ethernet!) and wireless router. Thanks! -- Ian
