broadband

Hi We are moving house next month and I am going to take the opportunity to rethink my Broadband, Phone and TV options. At the moment we have it all with SKY and it has crept up to £36 a month, which whilst not extortionate by any means I wonder if there are better options available now...

Anyone got this? I'm thinking of taking the plunge as apparently it's available to my house. Would I notice the speed increase from say 20 to 50, i.e. Is it proportional? Its just for surfing, I'm not a big downloader but I do work at home so it gets used a lot. I've currently got sky...

Just had a BIG moan at BT and they have now lifted my download speed from about 300k/sec to nearly 5m/sec. Amazing what some strong threats do. The bottom line is that my son (who is a local radio DJ) buys and downloads many of his tunes. Last week he downloaded 26 tunes from one site. Before...

Google proposing a new service via the toilet. Is this an early April Fools joke? How TiSP Works pity we're on a septic system.

I haven't searched the forum as these things change almost weekly. I am currently an orange broadband customer and have been less than thrilled with their service in terms of connection and call centre. I have had their white hen house router and the smaller gigaset router both of which drop...

I used to use my Netgear DG834N router when with 02 Broadband. I switched to Sky Broadband 6 months ago and although my wired connection is fine the wireless signal sometimes doesn't work in a couple of the upstairs rooms (say 30 feet and upstairs away from the Sky router). I asked Sky if I...

I'm with BT and have enjoyed 5 - 5.5Mbps speeds on their "up to" 8Mbps for ages - perfectly happy. About a week ago, I thought stuff seemed to be loading up slower so over the last couple of days I checked my speed on a variety of sites. Lo, all came back with around 340Kbps down, 370Kbps...

Hi People, Im going to be on the road a bit in 2010 it seems so its going to be imperative to me that I can access my emails and internet via a laptop.. I havent got one yet but will probably get a small sony vaio or something.. I liked the look of them at the airport.. Anyway, ive never...

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 ?

If you rent your telephone line from company A, can you select company B to provide your broadband service? My parents live in the country in East Sussex. They rent their line from company A. But Company A have crap broadband deals. So can they just buy the broadband from company B...

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...

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...

Hello Currently have sky broadband and very happy with it. However trying to get both to work with Wep or similar seems to only allow one to work either the PC or the Apple. anyone have a similar problem? Can I just set the network to allow IP address's? Thanks

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...

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...

I have just bought a new laptop and need to know the best value way in which to use to the internet. I have a Nokia N95 (on O2) phone and usb cable which I tried and managed to connect to the internet. My phone bill this month was significantly higher (double) than normal so I am looking for...

I have a talktalk router and am thinking of a backup in case. Anyone any experience with the £30 Zoom DSL Wireless as sold in Tesco or should I buy a better brand like Netgear. When I signed up with TalkTalk last August there was a discount of £30 toward a £70 Netgear router, not sure it...

Any techie types know what's been going on today? Tried to log on at 12pm and the network was as dead as a dodo- Rang up customer services twice, several hours apart- And they couldn't help because their servers were down. And now it's back up- My 8meg connection is registering 16-32meg on...

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

I have 4 Vodafone Options 3G Broadband Datacards. Spec here They are as new, although they have all been used for a short period of time for a project I was working on. They are now surplus to requirements and are SIM free. They are locked to the Vodafone network and come boxed...
