:lol:not sure that is the answer , ? I tried that on the G/f , she just screamd , "Oh yes yessss, more more , ,

I can remember the cats whisker crystal , I built a few as a kid , 100 ft wire aerial ,and getting up a 6 am , thats the time BBC ..UK started transmitting , just to tune the receiver in ? , suddenly I feel very old ,

I had the same problem a while back , I download the latest firmware , but as the computer didn't recognise the cd/dvd device , even after a reboot , I kinda gave up and brought a new one , but it maybe worth removing it , and after a reboot and shut down . refiting it and see if it shows ? , mine never did , although it would open an close , BTW it wasn't recognised in other spare puters either , even set as master, slave or cable select jumper settings

thanksfor the input , My main is for mail , sure beats snail mail , I even do most of my Christmas cards that way now ,and for me the same thoughts as and indeed I started off with 56K dial up in 2001 l moved on to 125K and again to 500k, now on 8Mb ADSLMax UK (2007) although I don't see more than 5.5 Mb, ---------------------- :::..

We are all newbies in oneway or another, great place for speed tests and help , othewise as Coknuck said Duh ,the bar and naked ladies don't seem the cross the pond ? maybe I ain't found the right topic ? Best regards Roco ...UK

Hi fcb40 (fran ) Wellcome , you ain't alone on the download , I got a cap of 2Gb a month , I use my daughters cap free internet to download , Regards Roco ....UK

Love them or hate them, I still have a open verdict on that !, ( LOL, I was born before the transistor ). But old enough to see the advantages, or indeed the disadvantages , and no I ain

Hi Gemini_566 , I am one of them Southerners , SW London , but Channel Islander by birth, sad on the dog stealing , a lot of it going on down here , , can no longer walk down to the paper shop , tie the dog and pop in for a newspaper ,

Hi Gemini_566 , wellcome , Indeed Happy new year , Personally I would settle for a warmer new year at the moment !, BTW are the two Samoyed's yours ? Best Regards Roco .UK

both work OK with I.E. all versions .............................

could you expand more on that .I am curious . why not just use Microsoft I.E series same a most internet sufrers and save a lot of work ? ,

how many browser do you need ? it's just a tool , stay with the one that works best for you , How many 1/2 inch SAE, spanners do I have in my tool box , well only 1 set , as we are fully metric in the UK , I like to keep my puter clean and light , running XP pro and using 6.3 Gb on "C" , anything worth saving goes straight to a second H/D , any new browser or program gets run on a spare trash puter first , .

they did originanly , Cheddar could not have been invented in Rome it would have been called Aroma cheese BTW, Cheese is now seen a junk food in the UK http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article1733899.ece "Under the formula, devised by the Food Standards Agency (UK ), cheese is deemed to be a food high in fat and salt and therefore cannot be advertised during teatime programmes or on Saturday morning TV. Cheese promotions are also banned during programmes such as Hollyoaks and Friends, popular viewing among early teenagers. EDIT: Fixed Post

be very afraid of cheese it is high in salt , and can affect the pout

you talking about me again Bro , my Mom said I was special , and I am going to stay with that ,

thanks for the link Tdawnaz , all looks very yummy , but how the hell can any Cheese be called CHEDDAR , when it blatantly not made in Cheddar Somerset UK it's a bit like Microsoft 7 Chinese version . , (I hope to get that version about a month after the U.S. official release ) the only thing that get jerked in the UK , is short sighted nerds without a G/F,

Good to see you back on TMN Jeff, lets hope 2009 is a good one for us all .

, Tdawnaz , Jerked Cheddar cheese ??? , the folk down in Cheddar Somerset maybe working on a writ on that , , I know what you mean there is always one, I got into an argument with myself , , and threw myself out into the garden , and ended the evening cuddling my favorite Gnome ,

Huge words ? Hitler tried that and got shafted , but wispering in the breeze carries for miles , IMHO , BTW,you pay the air fare, I will bring the the bottle ,

for a international forum check out your time zones, it's over for a some of us still better late than never , yeah,I am in Bitch mode , Santa passed me by this year , so a happy Troll new year to all , and may your balls drop off , on the 12 th .....

indeed, but that has never hapend before , tomorow I am going to punch the lights out on my neihbour , for lighting fireworks at 3 am , but today is all serene for me , maybe it's because of the J.Daniels Christmas gift

I would have a look in Task manager "networking " if nothing is happenig , I would go Tommie's route , Btw, this is one of the reasons I don't run autoupdates ,

wellcome to the forum zafrius93 , are you asking members here that pay for the internet , how to get it for free, ? if so why not pay the friend of a friend that married his aunt that was related to a ass ,? so how are you posting here ? if I misunderstood your question , my apoligies ,

well on the switching ISP , all I can say is "possibly " , sorry if that sounds a bit vague , but that is the way it is in the UK , indeed fast co.uk has a good reputation , but is expensive ,and with a download limit ? , Tiscali is known to have a lose of speed in peak times , and for me the hours of darkness slow it some , ( street lighting etc, ) the worst I get is around 4Mbps at that time , back to your curious speed problem , so connecting direct in the BT master socket it jumped to 1900kb up from 500 kb would indicate a internal phone line problem , but as the speed dropped again , it does look like a Tiscali conjestion problem , well known unfortunately (over subscribed ) and possibly a conjested exchange , and that could apply even if you changed ISP's , and that would be a downer if locked into 1 years contract , from your router stats you should manage 1900 -2200kbps ,which is low anyway , and about the same as I was getting a year back on the old BT network before the Tiscali switch to their LLU at the exchange , I suspect you are not on Tiscali LLU , but still running on the old BT network , possibly your exchange has not been converted , ? but it does seem pot luck in the UK , I have a friend on the same Tiscali plan that gets 7.23Mbps 24x7 , different exchange though, just using her Tiscali modem , !!! some good advice on UK adsl here , http://www.dslzoneuk.net/socket.php , Modem/routers ? I can recommend the Thompson speedtouch 585 v6, it's worth another 1Mbps on my line , have you tried talking to Tiscali ? Regards Roco
