Madasafish!
Hi, I have just moved to a new house and the previous owner had Talk Talk and the usual crap with releasing the line. Their tardiness has caused me some problems and I had to go to BT to release the line myself. Now this is going to be released on the 14th and then a further 7 working days for Madasafish to activate my…

How do I change broadband supplier to Sky
What is the order in which I change suppliers? I have to give one month's notice to Plusnet so do I do that and then ask Sky to connect me on the day my Plusnet contract ends or do I go for a date a week earlier. Or should I ring Sky first to see when they can do it in case there is a long waiting list? I dont want to be…

Need a reliable, solid broadband service with wireless router
Hi guys I'm currently with madasafish paying £30/month for BB with a 50GB download allowance. My Speed is supposed to be 'upto 8MB' but i seem to get 1-2MB more realistically now.

Tiscali Max - £17.99 - A Good Deal?
Is this a good deal? Until the end of March, Tiscali are offering 8MB broadband and free UK landline calls for £17.99 per month. I have been assured that if you sign up before the end of the month, your 12 month contract price will remain at £17.99 per month. I know some have found the Tiscali service very poor -…

Internet connection problems
I’m using a Dell PC, which is 5 years old, running Windows millenium edition. My AOL internet connection keeps crashing, usually after about 15-30 minutes use. It doesn’t seem to be a problem with the phone line, as another (newer) PC, which also uses AOL, runs fine. I also use zone alarm and AVG, and I’ve run adaware,…

Help Need Broadband ISP - No BT Line!!!!
This is for a friend, and I'd said I'd help him! He is on dial up broadband which is soooo slow. Anyway, he's looking to change to broadband. The problem, he doesn't have a BT phone line, he's with NTL (now Virgin?) for his phone (think he gets free eves & weekend calls) and I think tiscali for his dial up (totalling over…

Orange Broadband - Moving home 15 days???
I'm moving home in a couple of days, and I have been told by Orange that I need to wait until my BT line has been active for 48 hours, then once I apply to move my account I'll have to wait up to 15 days. I find this quite unacceptable but can I do anything about it? The main problem will be the 2 weeks without internet…

Leaving Tiscali for SKY - HELP!
Hi guys, Can someone please try and help me make sense of all this?! I called Sky who told me that I am on an LLU network, so would have to wait for my disconnection from Tiscali. I called Tiscali to cancel and (I think) the guy told me that I am not on an LLU network and he would send me a MAC code. I called Sky back…

Virgin Media's antics - is this legal?
Hi there everyone, wow, the broadband industry certainly is a murky underworld! So many problems. I'm with Virgin Media (oh dear! I wished I'd research it a bit more before going with them. Speeds awful, and locked in for 12 months by £50 "cancellation fee". Better for same price elsewhere I've discovered) and I am…

Is Nildram broadband any good? Need short term contract
Hello - I would be grateful for any advice I came to the end of my contract with Pipex a while ago but because I am in "fluid" circumstances I haven't done anything about it, despite currently paying a ridiculous £23.44 a month for a 1meg (though unlimited usage) service. There is a strong chance that I will be moving out…

Changing broadband providers - ?dial up in between
Hi i am in the middle of what has seemed to be a very long process of changing from Tiscali - Talk Talk for my Broadband service and home phone. I've given Talk Talk my Mac code today and will be cut off very soon :eek: while they sort out the switch - have been quoted 10 - 15 days but have heard horror stories of it…

Free ADSL Modem
I have recently received my free fon wi-fi kit, and to my dismay, went to plug it into my modem last night and realised that I only have a USB modem!!!!!! It was the modem supplied to me by pipex when I joined them (foolishly) over a year ago and i've never had reason to suspect it would be inadequate, but It seems I need…
