We had this and changing the channel worked in the router - we repeated the exercise until we found a channel that gave us a good connection. This stopped the connection dropping away!!

Yes this is what we have to do when the signal starts dropping out, change the channel.

Took a wander to T's in Dingw4ll and there was a pathetic couple of bits of cold meat from the deli and some petit fromage frais in the whoopsies, thought I had a womble though, only it was a sada receipt, which is ironic because our sada carpark is always receipt free:rotfl:, and it only had 7 items:o

Sorry but that is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I always forget about Dwall T's.
Haven't been out there for ages, don't suppose I'm missing much by the sounds of it!

After the grand tour of the local A's earlier this morning - I ventured out a little farther than I normally do, but the nearly £5 voucher more than paid for the petrol - I hoped to repeat the same, and it's worked...

Another £2.14 back, although the 'Sada receipt' that I saw in the gutter on the road as I came back turned out to be a squashed Pringles carton (empty of course) - probably bought by someone who hadn't stashed them away and paid far more... etc.:rotfl:

Not much to report - the m'buy is working, including on this:

2 x ASDA Fantail King Prawns Cooked & Peeled (200g)£5.00£4.00

On 2 for £5 offer at A, but do compare vs T's £4 (which I assume is correct). Might be better to buy 1 of those, if m'buys for A don't misfunction. T's price is in black, so looks like £2 each. I've tried to find the A product on MSM - I couldn't find it logged out, so I've logged in and - possible glitch?, but not perhaps a big one - A is showing with individual prices and with the m'buy but it's showing N/A for T. Not sure at present what T's comp. item is.

A were cheaper but not by 10%. The £2.14 is more than the cost of the (small) amount of petrol I've used.

elliemoo....you;re in NI aren't you? I'm on Sky and the connection is terrible. Every day we have to switch off and on the router at least 4-5 times!! Sjy tell me there is no problem at their end and no fault on the line. Funny how loads of my friends in the area on Sky complain of the same problem. :mad:
I'm def leaving them at the end of my 12 month contract!!

Its not something that ever happened with us before so never thought of changing channels. We've had this router for a while so just assumed it is some sort of problem with it but OH is defo gonna check the channel thing tonight, thanks.

Sure am, my OH hates "murdock" and would love any excuse to leave them but like you we were in a contract but is up so he is looking for alternatives but I must admit it really is strange not having instant internet access. Today I have uncovered a slow cooker we have had in this house from before I was married and that is 13 years so I have used some of my time productively!

Buying 2 at A's V T's - A £1.38 each v T 2 for £2.00 - would add 96p to APG.
Works out at 40p each if 2 vouchers used. (voucher states one coupon per product)

Missing nothing believe me, ironic about the sada receipt and just my luck a staff member was having a ciggie at the trolley bay so restricted my wombling significantly:(
