columbus Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Over the past few weeks i have been having trouble with my computer, it logs on straight away but will not connect me to freeserve home page. A friend told me that someone living across the road from him had got broadband and when they were logged on he was having the same problem. To solve the problem you have to get in touch with your phone company to put a gain on your line,they done mine today and what a differance i can log on and connect in a few minutes now. I know i may be teaching my granny to suck eggs, but I thought there may be a few idiots like me out there that are having the same problems as I was, and this might be the answer.

pjohn Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 noticed it is taking a bit longer to download pages even though i am a regular visitor to most of the sites could this be a ploy to get everyone to change over to broadband ? :evil: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Before I got Broadband (Sorry if that sounds boastful), I noticed that at various times, sites I visited regularly became slow and difficult to get in to. I think this is more to do with the quality of the sites Server, or the level of activity within the site, than your Internet connection. Now that Freeserve have reduced their Broadband charges the other Providers will probably follow suit (except BT), could be a good time to get it.

highdowns hunter Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 I saw an advert for BT broadband for about £27 I think per month Does this include your telephone line rental and do you still need an Internet service provider like AOL If you save the cost of the ISP it seems to me that it would work out cheaper in the long run is this correct I would be greatful if some of you technical whiz kids could advise HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
