I'd be interested to hear how you get on. Good luck.

just a thought, but have you checked your wireless settings. maybe someone is stealing your bandwidth. some guy got nicked a month or so ago

Rik · Nov 25, 2007, 18:40:18

Thanks for the thought. Az certainly has switched it off to eliminate the possibility. I hate mysteries.

In my case, over and above the WPA key they would have to know or find, they would have to add their access control address to my router and I know that the ones that are there are mine. so I am as confident as I can be that the wireless network is secure.

PS
Rik I have emailed IDnet now.

had a chat with Miriam at Idnet, still couldnt get onto the speed test, but miraculously as if by magic speed is back to normal operation (570k a sec download from file planet gig in under 20 minutes) dont know what happened guess it was just a blip in the service.

Will monitor it and thanks to those that posted advice! hope everyone else is back to normal excellent service.

Spooky, mine too has gone back to normal. I have not been at home all day so first time I could try A test was this evening. I had an email from Miriam to check the obvious, (I have been known to miss the obvious on a regular basis). I will keep checking over the next few days just in case, Last night Youtube froze every two seconds. You forget when you have had a good connection for so long, what a bad connection is like.

Glads it's all working ok for both of you, and you've both had the pleasure of the wonderful Miriam!

I wonder if BT have been causing trouble, but i guess we will never know!

Rik · Nov 26, 2007, 23:46:56

Good news, guys. Miriam has probably kicked someone at BT until they put things right - she's very tenacious is Miriam.

thetrevone · Nov 27, 2007, 07:23:54

The mention of the name was probably enough

How right you are, Doug. Senior BT managers pale when they know Miriam is on the phone - some have even been known to take early retirement.
