Anyone here know anything about this I was thinking about getting this as I can't get standard broadband where I stay. However I haven't been ale to find many companies that provide a reasonable deal for the home user as most seem to cater for businesses. TIA

Peter wrote in message ... I've been reviewing a tender from an IT Services company who is tendering to provide a small company (the MD is a friend of mine) with ADSL connectivity for their offices around the country. What is puzzling me is that they are recommending BTOpenworld as the ISP using their 512K business...

If sending an e-mail to is taking too long send an e-mail to and mention OFTEL. They called me by phone the same day I sent the e-mail and seemed to take the complaint very seriously :-) Regards, tHatDudeUK

See subject, and is it normal to make a "direct" connection, or are it normal to use ppop(a some sort of a "network dialer" witch shuld be "behind" the IP network).. thanks

Sadly my son wants to jump at NTLs Broadband offer of £17.50 per month with free modem thrown in. To me signing up with the likes of Nildram or Zen at around £23 makes more sense. Could I please have some pros and cons in this matter to advise correctly. David

OK, I've signed up for by broadband account (I've gone with Nildram) and it's due to go active on Thursday (24th). I ordered a router from them when I set up my account with them. That arrived yesterday. I've connected it all up. It appears to be working. It does everything that the documentation says it should apart from the PPPoE LED coming on but I assume that is because my account does not...

I want broadband but I'll be moving house in a couple of months so which is the cheapest way to get broadband taking into consideration I don't know where I'll be moving to?

I have recently purchased a DG814 and have been getting the ADSL line dropping out on a regular basis in the last week or so. Previously the modem would not respond to ADSL conneciton and I had to reboot it. This was about once a week which was bad enough but just in the last few days the ADSL/Internet light has been off when I am working on the PC and I have tried to do various things to sort...

Can you send a letter recorded delivery to a PO box address? BT Openworld PO Box 5965 Alness IV17 0ZA is the only address I can find. Any help appreciated. I'm contacting them about cancelling my account.

Anybody know if it's possible to make this 'invisible'? Ie. Described as 'stealth' instead of 'closed' by Shields Up? It's the only port that indicates any presence to passing port scanners yet it's also quite useless. I'd rather it were invisible. I changed the following config line: config upnp=on

I've been having a lot of connection problems with Zen over the past couple of weeks. First week of service was fine, but since then there have been regular disconnections, with the modem losing sync. It then renegotiates and carries on as normal. Also, my connection has recently started to freeze for a few seconds without the modem appearing to disconnect. This happens every couple of minutes or...

Hi guys, Any ideas would be greatfully received. We ideally want to host a site on our own property but we arent sure of our options and what they would cost. I heard there was a sat solution that provided decent uplink speeds as well. Any ideas? Simon

Has anyone any web references to Noddy's Guides explaining what re-congig/ re-setting needs to be done when substituting an ADSL modem for a dial-up modem (and paying a new ISP, of course!) I am confused about how to set up the new connection route and what to tell IE and OE about it. I will be using Win 98SE. Also, can I set things up so that reversion to dial-up is simple ...

Hi all! I know the main questions have been asked many times before, but I have a few questions, and my current PC specs may affect the answers...
