View Full Version : offline a while possibly
my luck I guess i ordered the full sky package tv/broadband/telephone. The came 3rd August couldn't get TV signal so the whole thing is cancelled. Got letter yesterday saying unfortunately the BT cancellation hadn't been cancelled. Just as I read the letter the things slowed in front of my eyes. I reset the hub and boof nothing when switched on no broadband. Have SKY router in unopened box but it is suppossed to be returned unopen.....
Upshot i may be offline for a while while I re-order BT to rejoin the buggers.
See you soon chaps.

Good luck with it all Stew, I think all ISP's are useless most of the time.
Could you imagine what it would be like if you were as bad at dentistry as they are at providing a stable connection? Your patients would go to a good dentist, but can you easily go to a good ISP? I think not!

lol - not again! My router has been giving me problems, so I had to replace it. The new one has a built in switch, so each port shares 100mb/s bandwidth as opposed to my old route that only provided 10mb/s per port - not that it would help much with the internet connection, but on my ~1TB network it makes a huge difference.

Bugger news Stew. Hope you get it sorted soon. I'll have to say that Comcast has been a very reliable service for me. I had router issue a while back. It was just a bad router though.
UI'll be on for few mins each day when have quiet spell at work just to see what is happening. This is such a pain though as the Sky bloke was here on 3rd Aug and they had 5days to tell BT they were not taking my broadband afterall and then BT cancel my broadband on 8th. Been trying to get thought to BT which is nightmare and trying to get someone that understands English and comprehends what I am talking about.
:cry:
hehe call cyta here in cyprus, they all understand english, except they don't really...
Was like a lost sheep at weekend without the internet...I had to do normal stuff like erm.. sleep lol.

its ok thanks for the offer Zap but I rigged up some spare pickup wire to my older daughter and got hwer to put her fingers directly in the master socket (BT) and works a charm. I typed this message at 6.30am this morning and it only took 3hr 30mins to upload....should be able to download a youtube video in about 3years :lol:
Finally got MAC code last night and rejoined BT will be up and running again next Friday. Oche well gave me a chance to dig some holes in the garden and route my N4 for the OFR for better upbends.....I created slightly bigger hole than I planned but you guys will never see it :lol:
