I have just had an e-mail from BT offerring me a new and better internet deal for the same price, without thinking I deleted it as quick as I could because it will ruin a good service. When I changed from dial up to broadband, and again when I changed from broadband to superfast broadband I experience nothing but problems, they just don't know what that are on about. >
Last time I was 3 days out, because the two help desks were contradicting each other, both giving me wrong info and sending me the wrong routers etc. I expect you have all had the same if you are with BT
Thanks for listening.....I feel better now ;D ;D
Broadband to superfast broadband , Guess you have paid for Up to 8mb package dependant of your nearest Bt exchange been upgraded?
There are several devices to enable one to establish an ADSL connection to your preferred ISP.
+ There is always user error :-[
If you're still experiencing a problem & need any help, I am more than happy to help PM's please 8-)
Broadband Tip of the day.
8Mb Broadband - Improve Line Speed
The 8Mb broadband service is a lot more sensitive to line conditions and interference on the line. BT have implemented a system called Dynamic Line Management (DLM), which will monitor your line and identify any potential issues.
Recommend that you power down your broadband router/modem at least once a day for 1 to 5 mins, to ensure a clean line speed reading can be taken. n.b more expensive 2+2 routers do this on the fly.
You can try and improve the situation and possibly line speed by following the advise below.
Ensure that your ADSL hardware/telephone cable are not affected by any of the following:
o TV’s
o VCR’s
o TV receiver
o Sky receiver
o Fax machine
o Digital Cordless Telephone/Base Unit
o Alarm system
o Dimmer switches
o Gaming consoles
o Electric fan/heater
o Thermostats
o CB radio aerials
o Thunderstorms
o Electric fences
o Pylons
Try connecting your ADSL hardware directly into the BT Master socket rather than using a extension cable or subsidiary socket.
While still plugged into the BT master socket, unplug all other telephone devices, additional telephones, cordless phones, fax, sky box, etc.
Still plugged into the BT master socket, swap the Microfilter that the ADSL device plugs into for another one (with telephony equipment still unplugged) and retest.
