Skype
Hi All, I have an old PC and there has been no sound on it for some time. Now this does not worry me unduly, but 1) how can I check if the sound card is knacked or something else is wrong? and 2) If I download Skype will I still be able to use it as it is? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Virgin Broadband
I am thinking of taking Virgin Broadband via cable, as I don't have a phone line and not planning to take one. Anyone knows what is the peace of mind on Virgin broadband. i.e if I don't like their service, can I cancel them within 14 days of install or something like that??. I can't see anything on their terms.

Getting broadband without a BT line...kinda...
Here's the scenario... My inlaws pay talktalk for their line rental and calls. Their local exchange is not LLU unbundled thingy. They want broadband but don't want to pay almost £20 per month on top of line rental from talktalk. Can they do it or do they need to go back to BT first. All help gratefully received! :D

TalkTalk broadband - running slow
I have TT broadband. It's supposed to run at upto 8mb as we all know. It's never attained that speed and seems to run upto around 1.5mbps. I'm ok with that, but lately it seems to be slow and running at 512k. I don't feel that this is acceptable. What's the crack about who and how to complain to, in order to get the speeds…
