    Broadband modem advise please - can I buy a splitter for two RJ45 cables ?

    I have a wired modem into my PC. When I work from home I swap the cable from the PC into the modem to the cable that runs from my laptop. Is there some splitter device that allows me to plug both in at the same time so I could use both PC Internet and laptop VPN at the same time ?

    Broadband Tax

    Has Anyone read of the 50p a month (for now..) tax that the Govt intend to levy on every bb customer with a land line? Why is the government getting involved with telecom networks again? Surely, the implementation of "high speed" networking is a business decision for BT and the likes, not UK...

    BT broadband problem

    I use BT broadband through vodafone at home and for the past 2 years I have had a rock solid and reliable 6mb connection. I use a netgear dg834pn wireless router and this has proved very reliable too. However, in the last month the connection speed has been awful, often at less than dial up...

    BT testing 20MB broadband

    Had a phone call from a guy at BT yesterday and he wanted to know whether I would like to take part in a 6 month trial/test that BT are about to roll out in my area. It consists of upping my broadband speed from about 2-3MB which I have at present up to a potential maximum of 20MB. All I have to...

    Broadband download cap

    I'm thinking of changing ISP as I'm fed up with paying AOL £18 per month for a slow service (up to 2mb) & software which slows down my old pc. My line/exchange can only support 6.5mb. I'm looking at Sky's mid range package with 8mb speed & 40gb monthly allowance at a cost of £5 per month. I...

    Virgin Broadband

    Anyone else having problems? I have been offline at home for 10 days and no promise of reconnection for about another 2 weeks. Just cancelled my account and am going to BT. May not be the cheapest but quality and consistancy of service must be better than Virgin. Ever since it changed from NTL...

    Broadband TV

    We are looking at moving house shortly, and the new house will possibly be Grade II listed, so Sky dishes are a no no without planning etc. Has anyone got any of the Broadband TV packages - I know that BT do one, as do Tiscali. How well do they work? Do you get problems with lag or poor...

    TalkTalk Broadband and trying to talk to BT!!

    I’m currently with TalkTalk for my landline and broadband. Its slow and useless and so I want to change. Also I have intermittent interference on the phone which I can only assume is down to the line. In the old days you’d call BT and they’d test the line there and then and if it couldn’t be...

    Further to A-AvantGarde's Classified Ad I've got two as well, for sale on the same terms. However, in the interests of fairness, you can't have one from me until A-AvantGarde's sold all his. PJ
