We normally put nudge or n...zzzzzzz means your tied...or bored

Sorry zzz is not PC, I have been told. I should have said thread is being nudged for the benefit of others who are actually interested in knowing more about Broadband connections. I apologise profusely If I have failed to follow the correct protocol.

Well things are a lot better this morning. It didn't take 2 mins to log in, unlike last night. Elizabeth. I know! As soon as we hit the drop zone though, I thought it would happen.I do think we'll be back in the Championship though, all we need is a year out to sort thiongs out, and we'll be back fighting! 3 years and we'll be top of the Premiership again! lol. Have you heard about Duncan Revie wanting to purchase the club now. If he's like his father, then this could be a great thing for the club. Fingers crossed. Had to laugh though at Peter Ridsdale's column in YEP, just after we were relegated, saying that this wouldn't have happened if he'd still been in charge! It was him that started it! Talk about dillusional!!!! Silly man! Rant over now, lol! Gem:))))

Just seen your PM - I'm impressed.

Errol - l have pm'd you, l've been a cleaver girl (lthink) :o)) lol

Ooooops sorry praps its me thats done the hijacking :o(

Honestly, it is free! When you acquire or purchase a modem you are entitled to driver upgrades - drivers are the little bits of software that run hardware such as modems, printers etc. Manufacturers often upgrade the drivers because they find bugs in the existing software so it is in their best interests to provide this service free so that everyone has equipment that is running correctly. If you can tell me the model etc I can give you the link to download the most up to date driver for your modem. That at least will be a starting point for you.

Hi Gem Sorry to hi jack your thread but when i saw your name I thought I would just say LEEDS cannot believe what has happened this year after last years play off, can you Liz

nuffins free!!!!! ok where do l find this info??

no it is free - give me the make, name and exact model number of your modem and I'll find the drivers for you

For starters I would upgrade your modem drivers to see if that makes a difference.

Mmmmm is this expensive?? and then for 2nd's??

Any suggestions as to why that is and what l do:o))) ??

Jude, that sounds like a problem localised to your computer and/or network rather than an actual BT connection problem.

Errol - l'm Bt and have had probs on and off for a few weeks - l actually can't get on the net at all sometimes - sometimes it tells me l dont have my modem installed properly - yet l have had it checked out about 6 - 8 weeks ago. also when l'm connected it keeps freezing grrrrrrrrrrrr jude :o(((

It is a lot better than many, Maureen, and if you persevere or use a different number (bit difficult to find at first) it is quite easy to get through to a UK based technical department. However, the times you will need to use the technical department or helpdesk should be few and far between. The problem occurs when it is the PERSONALISED services rather than the general connection. After all, most ISPs are actually using BT lines anyway!

Phew, thanx for reassuring me... was beginning to worry then!! Clare x

Wait until you have to phone their help desk which is in India ! Maureen

Thanks Errol. Was beginning to think it was my computer. It is connecting, but couldn't log in, it kept saying password invalid. Took ages trying to get in, finally got in through the help pages. Clare It's not normally too bad. Not had too many problems with BT. Service normally really good. Gem:)))
