BT Broadband Internet

[Super Steve Earle]

Am having nothing but problems with them. Cuts out 50 per cent of the time over the last 5 weeks and then have to spend hours talking with our friends on the sub-continent with their technical dept. there are obviously problems there -they even give out the phone prefix problem areas except I cant hear because o the faults online - so what I want to know is can anyone on here recommend another broadband provider that don't take the piss like BT.

I have had the same with my BT Total Broadband over the last 5 weeks or so. I suspect it will sort itself out. Meanwhile, I haven't phoned them up, I've just reset the unit, reconnected through my laptop Control panel and made sure my Intel wireless has not disabled. Usually takes about 10 minutes max to restore, but a bit of a pain. I assumed it was just heavy pre and post Christmas useage. Not planning to change provider though.

When it cuts out does restarting the router work? If not its a problem somewhere on the line, if yes could be problem with router OR some jizz-monkey is trying to crack your password with packet injection.

I'm with O2. Usually it's excellent but problems connecting recently, and a different story each time I rang customer services and an age before BT Technician could come out and investigate. I decided to take matters into my own hands, went to Maplins and bought a new ASDL filter (9.99) that connects to the phone socket and separates the 'phone from the modem. They can sometimes go wonky! Result, everything back to normal and cancellation of BT engineer visit and time off work. I'm not sure of the quality of the two I was originally supplied with. One didn't work from the start, and the second one is now clearly duff too.

Must admit BT Broadband has worked fine for me

It's quite simple... You ring up say its not working. And they send an engineer out to fix it.

But first You check to see if the line is bad at your main socket - disconnect any extensions. If its bad at the main socket then its BT's fault and you dont get charged.

I know this because I had to do it myself when my line was f***ed. It was a very easy process and yes I spoke to someone in India first.

Oh you poor deluded fool ..... clearly you've not has very many dealings with BT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

So because I've had good experiences I'm a deluded fool? Every time I've dealt with them it's been very easy and pain free. I do exactly what they tell me I.e. unplug extensions etc and test it bla bla. And it always gets resolved very quickly!

I had a similar problem with my BT signal until I changed the channel on the router. Been fine ever since.
