    Well I'm using TalkTalks free 8Mb broadband with wireless router, I'm also using a laptop if that helps though I don't see how it could. Is there more you need to know? If there is you'll need to be more specific I'm afraid.. :D
    Oh, it can't be the fact that I'm wireless because I've tried with an ethernet cable to no avail, I've also tried using my old USB modem from my previous ISP still, to no avail..
    It's funny though, last night after I made my previous post I went to RS.com and it loaded perfectly, everything seemed fine but when the countdown reached zero (yeah I'm a free user) and I inputted the displayed code I was told the session was invalid, this happened every single time and I tried many times..
    And an hour or so later no pages would load, not even good old Google yet I was still connected to the internet so I shutdown and refrained from throwing it through the window.. :D
    I forgot to mention I use Firefox too..

    Hello,

    Where is your router connected, Extension socket or Master socket ? I would suggest that you pop over to TalkTalk Members, sign up and let me know once you have signed up I will then look into the issue further.

    Thanks

    My router is setup via extension cable but the vast majority of the sites I or anyone at my house has visited have all worked, except of course RapidShare.com.
    There are other issues I have with TT broadband but let's get this sorted first, if possible. :D
    I signed up to TalkTalk Members by the way, with the same username as here.....

    *****EDIT*****
    Is there anything inparticular I should over at the other forum? Would it be necessary to ask the same questions over there too?
    And another problem I seem to be having very recently is losing my connection altogether, it just disconnects on its own sometimes. :(
  • I know the rules about double-posting and bumping old threads etc, forgive me.
    I just wanted to let you know that I can't be bothered dragging this out any longer than it has already...
    I'll just cancel when I can spare £70...
    Thanks for your time on the matter....
