When it works it works well but it is unreliable. If I don't do anything for 10 minutes - say whilst I am tyoing and email - it all drops out and I have to repair the connection even if it says it is good.KeyReedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894097012924024789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-50707977859607914922010-06-10T01:32:57.952+02:002010-06-10T01:32:57.952+02:00Having just moved from Dialup Dementia to Highspee...Having just moved from Dialup Dementia to Highspeed HSPA, I hear your pain.<br />I'm in a new world of course, with multiple windows and downloads that are as a speeding bullet compared to a stone's throw.<br />I hope you sort it out but doubt it. When I got the HSPA it wouldn't work so I called the provider who insisted it was a problem with my (brand-new) laptop - after 2 hours. <br />It took my genius technician another 2 hours and a long drive to find it was the f***ing faulty Sim card they had provided.<br />Arghhhhh.<br />Tech.

They loads millions of customers onto their servers and then wonder why everyone's broadband connection peters out. This is no consolation, I know, especially when you've been tied into a contract for 18 months. I'm not sure what to suggest other writing directly to the head honcho at TalkTalk. And possibly Ann Robinson at the BBC's Watchdog.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-74275007743146495332010-06-09T07:23:05.442+02:002010-06-09T07:23:05.442+02:00agghhh.

I've come to wish you luck on your screen test bid for circus fame and fortune, so perhaps after that you'll be able to make the switch to superduperextrordinaryfabuloso broadband. Not that I know anything about the UK services, but if one throws enough money at things they usually improve, no?

Fortunately for us, after realizing they would be no help at all, we were able to get help from the people who sold the refrigerator to us, who also serviced them (we were unaware of this at the time and thought we had to go direct to LG). Would have been nice if the LG people could have referred us back to them in the first place, rather than wasting so much of our time (not to mention the groceries we lost). Anyway slow computing and internet is excruciating after having experienced how fast it can be. I hope you can get some sort of solution soon.teenihttp://vtroom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-72936531037830338772010-06-08T22:41:39.364+02:002010-06-08T22:41:39.364+02:00I'm frightened of anything other than Apple + ...I'm frightened of anything other than Apple + BT.
