Hi I'm thinking of going for the new tiscali £15.99 per month deal as I just want phone line freed up always on rather than dial up slightly faster speed I don't envisage d/l large files etc

We had 512kb ADSL installed in August this year when it became availble on our exchange. Earlier this month our ISP (Force 9) said we could upgrade to 1mb for a lot less than they use to offer it for as BT were doing home 1mb connections (as I'm sure you're all aware). Anyway, we went ahead and BT have come back and said that on testing the line they found the line loss was over the limit for a...

I am not a gamer just some of the observed pros and cons regarding modem connected via USB or in a PCI slot. Also any preference regarding model and type, no additional connection for networked PC is needed in my case. Thanks for any help One2Go

Ok from my previous question it looks like Plusnet is the way to go - interesting that no-one using Zen replied! Anyway next question. At present I am on BT satellite but will be changing to ADSL as my exchange is going to be enabled soon. The satellite feed goes from the Sat Modem into one NIC on a computer running Windows XP. This sits it the corner of the room with no monitor, keyboard or...

Just failed the extended reach trial. Apparently, my Line Length was 5.5km, and my line loss was 72db. Why the loss on the line so high? I know someone with a 6km line with just 40db loss, is there anything at all I can do to sort this out? Would ordering a new line help?

I have BT Midband installed, but cannot seem to access newsgroups. At the moment I am connecting to Freeserve- but ironically I have to pay (phonecalls) whereas BT midband gives me a monthly 150 hour allowance. I have tried connecting to news.btinternet.com, or news.btopenworld.com, but without success. Am I doing something wrong? Apologies if this is not the most appropriate place to post this...

Thanks for any help. I am trying to switch ISP and wonder if anyone can give me an idea about retention as well as completion of postings on the binary news servers with PlusNet, Pipex or Demon. Thanks One2Go

Hi all, Considering making the leap to ADSL from dialup. Local exchange is ADSL enabled, and we have an analogue line, so I don't think there should be a problem in that department. I've been looking for broadband providers in the UK but have turned up only a few: - PlusNet

Hey - just changed from my speedtouch 330 to an ASR-8400 to allow me to connect my wifes computer to my pipex 512 account, and now i cant work out how to get games running on the Halflife engine to work online. They just fail to be able to connect - if anyone can help - that would be great. I presume its in the modems settings, but i have had bad experiences messing with them before ! Thanks -...

Hello Appreciate any feedback and help on setting up new home network. The house is fully wired with new Cat5 cabling. I want two PCs (diif floors) sharing internet, files and printer. Would also like to add a wireless AP for my laptop. Here's the setup I am contemplating: ADSL - Cat5 - 10/100 Ethernet Router/Hub/Switch (Draytek 2600?) -

Hi, I've been successfully using BT OpenWorld for 10 months but have recently developed a problem connecting: Upon start-up (Win2k) the BT OpenWorld desktop icon gives connection errors and fails to connect - even on redial. If I then open IE and select the option to connect from there, there is no problem. I've re-installed Windows, setting up OpenWorld from fresh and get exactly

Hi, Does anybody know if it is possible to have ADSL and Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) on the same phone line? Thanks! Ray

I've had BTO adsl for a few months now and using gamepsy arcade to locate servers (MOH being my particular weakness). For the first 4 months or so there were always dozens of servers with a decent ping time - in the 50-100 ms range, but in the last few weeks this has degenerated and now there are never any servers less than 100ms and most are 150-200+. Is this likely to be some problem I should...
