broadband

How can I find out the maximum speed available on my phone line? I'm hardly out in the sticks, but I've been told by my ISP that I can't get anything faster than 512 Kbps (what I'm on now). I'd like to verify this ... any idea how/where? TIA :)

i've just upgraded to 2mb but how can I test this ?? tia

I am very disillusioned with my present supplier (Wanadoo). When I took out my subscription it was for an unlimited download usage. Now they have threatened to cut me off if I exceed 40Gb? As far as I’m aware I have never got near that figure, but Wanadoo state it is not my downloads that is...

For those of you who saw the UK Online advert in the Metro this morning advertising 512k unlimited broadband for £9.99. Seems its only available from certain exchanges, if you aren't connected to one of these then the price is £19.99 which isn't such a great deal :( More details here...

OK PC chaps, your advice is needed...... I'm on Freeserve 512kbps at £27.99 a month at the moment (no download limit) , looking to go to Freeserves 1Mbps (£17.99 a month 2gb download limit) Question is, all i really do on the pc is surf the net, MBclub, Ebay etc , i'm not on it all day...

Anyone know of a company offering cheap broadband? 'ADSL 4 LESS' - £14.99/Month + £60 setup fee...looks like the cheapest? thanks Shiraz

Cars seen yesterday (you need broadband) Got called out to a job end of last week in Monte Carlo...tough life :) Caught a few ( 3 different) CLS's out there, and some othe nice metal.. Also had the pleasure of being given a W203 220 Elegance as a hire car. Anyone know what the...

Forgive my ignorance but I wanted to know the best way to connect two computers to my broadband line. Is it possible to simply purchase another ADSL modem and plug it into my laptop for use downstairs whilst my PC is used upsatirs? Have read about wireless connections etc but would rather have...

I've just upgraded my ADSL connection to 1Mbps with Eclipse (Business 1000; 20:1 contention ratio) and ... OH MY GOD! What a difference. MBClub loads instantly, everything's so much "snappier". Of course, some sites still load slowly (but not ours, cheers Maff :D ). ADSLGuide reports 931Kbps...

This problem is becoming more and more of a problem! When I turn on my computer everything starts up OK. Launch Outlook to download emails and it asks to dial Tiscali. Press dial and I get an error message that it cant find remote computer and it will redial in 60 seconds. If I then quit...

Got offered free upgrade from 1MB to 2MB Broadband - no additonal fee and no additonal contract. Seemed a good deal. Subsequently learnt from the BT website that if we had opted out then our monthly charges would have fallen about 45% ! Thats nearly £500 a year. So now have had to...

Long story, but I have hand enough of the crap customer service at Pipex. Really loved their broadband, but in my experience (3 connections, 3.5 years) their phone based customer service is not as good as it could be. Helpful people working within a hopeless infrastructure. All I wanted...

Hello I want Wanadoo broadband as it seems like a good deal but is it worth buying their wireless kit or getting my own? Can anyone tell me if the wireless routers can be used as a network too on my other computers? Also how do you use WIFI hotspots that I hear about in public places? Your...

Yes, yes, I know. However, lady in my office has just ordered said item and I think she will have a problem as our IT gurus have disabled the USB sockets on all our work laptops because of "inappropriate" use. So she needs to connect USB-free laptop via the Ethernet socket and also link up...

Just noticing how many IT attend this site, here's one you may be able to help me with. A client needs 4 positions within their house to connect to broadband. Assuming BT place there equipment at the front door, what cabling would we need to run between each point and type of connection...
