Hi all, Today I a source advised that a rumour is going around that BTOpenworld will not be participating the recently announced 1mbit trial. BT Broadband will. This has not been confirmed by BTOpenworld yet (as one would expect). This could be because of a few reasons (one of which is that its simple not true).

Hi, I work for a UK ISP who are currently running a free hardware offer, modems for the Home500 ADSL product (£28 per month) , and routers for the Biz ADSL services (from £39 per month). find out mo www.router-aid.co.uk

If you share a broadband connection between 2 PCs using an ethernet router - do you need 2 separate ISP broadband accounts or can you work off just one. Is it a question of some ISPs allow you to do this and some don't??? Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks Peter

Three weeks ago I replaced BT Home Highway ISDN with a regular BT analogue line in readiness to accept Virgin Broadband. (I chose Virgin because they do not require a 12 minimum contract.) Before the ISDN line was removed, the BT Broadband availability checker confirmed that I can receive broadband - this is not surprising because I am in a metropolitan area and my telephone exchange is only a...

Does any1 know of an ADSL provider that doesnt have a 12month contract? I seem to remember one had only a 3month contract but i cant remember its name.

My local telephone exchange will be broadband enabled near the end of this month. I'm thinking of trying PlusNet having seen a number of good reports about their service and support on Usenet. I have also seen some adverse comments regarding the supply of equipment by PlusNet but that doesn't worry me as I intend getting my own router and filters. However my first contact with PlusNet is not...

anyone can tell me good or bad for broadband

I was chatting to a guy in the local computer shop about setting up a network between the 2 computers in the house when I get onto broadband (next month). He suggested one was was to use bluetooth and I just said - oh yes, ok . . . but when I got home I was thinkinging . . . so what the heck is bluetooth. Is it a good way of making a network? Would it mean that the two comps can use the one modem?

Is it acceptable practice with an ADSL modem to do the following, in order to protect against lightening strikes etc? 1) after switching off, or going into hibernation - unplug the modem USB connector from the pooter. 2) on switching on, or coming out of hibernation- before doing anything, plug in the modem and then switch on. Would doing either of these procedures compromise anything?

Right. Situation is that after a year of almost uninterrupted service (only about 3 outages that I can remember), since Saturday my ADSL connection has become very flaky. Approx 50% of the time my Dlink-504 won't connect, showing a Physical Line Error. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to when it connects, and when it doesn't - the connection can be up for several hours, then flick on and off...

I have domain names with freeparking that will forward mx records etc You should first look at fastmail.fm - they're quite excellent on the whole, as a serious email-only service provider. http://fastmail.fm/ They're IMAP based, which is a tremendous advantage, in my opinion. www.mailshell.com are a excellent choice. Also IMAP based which I have to agree if far better than POP3. I...
