Oldtimer Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ~S~ All I would be really grateful if somebody could suggest a cure for repeated connection drop-outs. Quote
GreyKnight Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Has your Router got a log file you can look in to? What sort of connection do you have? Is it just TS that drops out or your entire internet connection? Quote
Oldtimer Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 Can't find any router (BT Voyager 205 ADSL) log files - where would I look?. Connection type is BT line, ADSL. I always seem to lose TS first, but after that, I lose all internet connection. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted February 26, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 26, 2008 Have you spoken to BT m8, are they aware? As an aside, and as support in other areas of your computer, are you running a maintenance programme? One like this http://www.tuneup-software.co.uk/produc ... utilities/ is very useful - download the trial version and let it do whatever. I have the full version and it's proven very useful - it optimises many things, including net connections. Quote
Rattler Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 advised to turn the modem upside down to try and keep the heat down! Or, just move to Australia....... Quote
Oldtimer Posted February 26, 2008 Author Posted February 26, 2008 turn the modem upside down to try and keep the heat down! Well I'll be damned! Quote

GreyKnight Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Well it's good to see the ISP admitting it's their fault. I hope it's all fixed asap. GK Quote
Rattler Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 48 hrs and try again?! Holy crap, man! That's terrible service! I get a service call the next day - had my modem replaced, and now all is tickety-boo. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 29, 2008 2. Administrators Posted February 29, 2008 Hah! Welcome to the UK - BT are currently refusing to admit my connection problems are down to their useless fuggin hardware - I've just got off the phone after another hour-long discussion about the WIFI card in my machine playing up (which it isn't) and not the HomeHub (which is). Why won't some people understand!!!! AAAARGHHH!!! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted February 29, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 29, 2008 I had that iussue with BT - they were blaming my pooters and would NOT admit it was their antiquated equipment that couldn't cope. A frustrating few months that resulted in both Homehubs (1 replacement) being slung into a corner and us returning to a faultless, creamy smooth service from Telewest/Virgin. The BT engineer that visited eventually, and whom we refused to pay for, had no explanation for the useless service I was showing him. BT.....Bloody Tat....... Quote
Blairgowrie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I feel your pain Old Timer. My connection was flaky all weekend and still sucks. Just waiting for my ISP to open their offices. Quote
