Time to ring sky and not be fobbed off.
They will be able to run tests from their end, tell them its work related type of thing and you need it and will have no option but to move broadband suppliers if they do not sort it quickly

54mbph :eek: Mine says 54.0mbps

thanks for this, thats what OH said we need to do, threaten to leave.
It says on that website that we have f+ national - so we are in the bottom 19% - sheep farms 100 miles from no where run faster than us. Global we are d. It also says global average is 13.07 mbs.

We are on an exchange which is miles away, as far away as its possible, everywhere around us is connected to the local town.

It was running excellent with the new computer we have had for only 3 months and then at the end of last week it suddenly went bad, worse than ever. We also had new phone wires last week and it worries me that they have somethign to do with it.

Agree with David., get onto them about it and refuse to be fobbed off. Good luck

can i ask, what is a good speed and a bad speed

so it says 1.22 on the clock thing in the middle and I then did it again, signal must have been better and its back up to 2.20.

The upload speed is 0.51mbp

So that must be part of the problem, the signal fluctuating so much

If you are on sky I think the max is 2mb could be wrong mind :obecause it dribbles up and down your phone line rather than fibre optic cables or whatever virgin uses :T
Not sure if you used the same server maybe if you moved server on there maybe not .(Sure that answered your question :rotfl:)
Ring sky and complain simples :T

Afternoon all :wave:

Had a couple of PPs rejected for too few items ie less than 10 that I entered on the weekend...naughty Ts. I won't be emailing them though as they were smallish wombles with other peoples clubcard details on them

Just had an oline chat with viking regarding the missing nectar points - got the standard ''should be added within 28 days as long as you have fully complied with the terms and conditions of the nectar offer''
Err..um...probably won't be seeing them then

Shame as I was hoping to use them in Sainsbos double nectar points event in April, thanks to the OP on HUKD

Have you tried using an ethernet cable to connect your pc to your router rather than using wireless, might be worth a try and see if that makes any difference. It probably won't but you never know, and in my experience if you ring any helpdesk they will get you to do this anyway.

If one pc and the ipad are connecting ok but another pc isn't, it points more towards a problem with that pc rather than the router/network iykwim - have you run a system scan/virus check recently? Might be worth trying to download malwarebytes and run that, it often picks up things that other AV programs let through.

Depends how far away from the exchange and things like that and you sound miles and miles away

In a wooden shack that always seems to flood, about 2 1/2 mile away.

I adore the smell of my cats paws, and the top of his head..... It smells grassy and earthy........ I'm digging a hole for myself I think:)

One or two others said that they love this smell too and you can't beat a bit of generalisation can you.

Thanks TM - I would never of thought of that! Don't have a cat myself but remember I did love the smell of my dog's fur I had years ago.

no, no police just fire brigade, wouldn't tell me who it was as not allowed so just radioed back and told them it was a bonfire and all ok.
I feel like I am being bullied by these neighbours who have only moved in recently.

I have bonfires to get rid of gardening stuff, make sure there is no washing out and no kids playing out first. Have to admmit to winding one neighbour up and burning it even when she has washing out, she is not the most popular here.

Can you not find a number for the local fire station and call them when you are going to have a fire?

Have one neighbour who ALWAYS complains about the bonfire, somehow always manages to appear when we have one, but we just complain when he has his barbecues!!
