connections to internet
 

Anyone else getting a bad internet connection.

I've been disconnected and reconnected 5 times in the last 40 mins. Yes i know im with aohell. But this afternoon i signed up with sky and gave them the mac code - could this be what im going to get from now on till my sky comes through?

Any other ideas why its like this - could it be the weather its muggy and ive been on here for quite a long time?:o:D

just so you know... when you get your sky up an running your connection will be a bit dodgy for a while... mines great now and im with sky

Same here I went to Sky and they do tell you for about ten days you will have teething problems. It does settle down.

I'm with BT Broadband and I occasionally loose my conection, don't know why just happens out of the blue, usually when I'm just ready to submite a post on here:rolleyes:

When mine did that i got told it was a build up of static,and to pull the plugs out of the wall for half an hour ,,,and it worked,,,

I did have a freephone number for getting in touch with bt announcements very handy if they are working in the area, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Thanks for the tip Granny, mine was playing silly beggars so unplugged it and fingers crossed it has done the trick:)

I`m with AOHELL and sometimes its just that but i`ve been asking round and i know someone on almost every ISP and they all say the same.....:mad:

Re: connections to internet
 

Have Sky not phoned you? They phoned me but it was a couple of days after connection date.

Not yet bernie I've had to download firefox because internet explorers up the swanny.

Re: connections to internet
 

I would ring them and just ask if you are connected, you will have a few problems for about ten days. Mez found that out before I was connected by going to Skys web-site, so don't be disheartened if you have a few probs to begin with;)

Yesterday Orange went down between 10am - 11am and didn't get restored till about 6.30pm

I was livid - just filled a basket at tesco and it went off before I could checkout.

Of course you dont think that it is your ISP at first do you? - so I tried allsorts first before phoning Orange for status info, including carrying my old pc set up back into the lounge and using a different ethernet cable.

I felt like I had lost a day.

I’m with BT Broadband and I’ve never lost my connection.

Occasionally when I first connect I seem to get a very slow connection. When that happens I closed down my computer, wait a minute or two and then boot up again to get my usual fast connection. Currently at 5408 Kps Downstream and 448 Kps Upstream. I used to get close on 8 Mbs.

That’s a load of bunkum.

The stories these ‘engineers’ tell to fob you off.

Re: connections to internet
 

Try 0800 1114567 for BT’s technical staff or 0800 1698649.

You can also get to BT via 0800 800 150 and then select the appropriate option.

Always get problems with internet connections now and again, regardless of the ISP. AOL, BT and Bulldog were forever failing. With TalkTalk at the moment, considering it's "free", it's been the best of the bunch. AOL was the second best, Bulldog the worst. Their Technical support was bloody awful.

Re: connections to internet
 

Do you connect using a router or a modem?

If it is a router you can access the routers status page sing your browser and see if it is connected to the internet or not.

If it is not then it is not a PC fault. It can only be the router or the connection as in cables in the house or an ISP fault.

If the router is connected to the internet then it could be your PC or could still be an ISP fault.
