Came back from Holiday to no landline (but broadband worked fine :D)
fault reported online, with bt, be fixed in a few days, free divert to mobile.
Jobs a goodun, I can live with that.
Bloody broadband dropped out too now :'( handy that the odd neighbour has no idea how to secure ;D

isnt it illegal to use someone elses broadband without permission ;)

7 in the flats here have wireless, 1 unsecured which is too low to get a signal from :(

Have you jumped through the normal hoops with the NTE5. Don't want you to get charged.

go with Sky ::) No line rental, and unlimited downloads :)

LOL, I don't think anyone in their right mind would pick them as an ISP (though may end up by default with them as part of larger package)

I can't fault them, line has been super reliable and quick. Easily getting 1Mb/s on certain downloads. Only restarted router once....
Sky now own LLU so no rental costs to BT and as part of a package well priced!
Of course i would go freeview if i did not get it free ::)

Sky have little LLU (still piggy back of easy?), so most get the overpriced, over limited, poor value standard service.
And sky are well known for their low usage quotas on their 'unlimited' services.
Where you live, I would expect a sync around 14Mb, so a 1.5MB d/l if the isp can keep up

Yup, although we own them...

Played with everything, the online checker shower fault on their network.
we have no dial tone, but you can ring the house phone...but we cant answer it.
Broadband...was fine, suspect it went for a resync, found no dialtone, so gave up.
As for Sky, too many people I work with have real problems using our corporate VPN with them, as it is unsupported, and may even be against their t's and c's iirc, like using your own router on sky!
Ill stick to O2 cheers :y
Estimate fix date...16th, Im really hoping it comes back today.
How am I meant to know one 'netgear' network from another, thought I was connecting to a known one ::)
(i use theirs occasionally, at times like this, signal is useless, and I have to be in a specific place with the wind in the right direction for it to work, not a substitute for my own by any means, but a handy 'get out of jail free' card)

They are EXACTLY the same symptoms I had a few weeks ago......
Are they doing any 21CN work in your area at the moment......as I found that they had screwed up my config when migrating my services over and set me as no broadband and emergency calls only (dont ask how I found that out ::))

Shouldnt be an issue for me, as already on LLU kit,

.. and the bit of copper still terminates in BT premises so is there any less likelihood of them making a Horlicks of it?

Given the symptoms, I could guess... ...did you know adsl can work when you have such a bad joint in one leg, it stops audio....

Mine went out too - on Monday morning. Exactly the same symptoms, though broadband stayed active until Tuesday mid-morning and the fault was fixed by Tuesday lunchtime (I'm with Talk Talk, but a BT engineer did the fix).
