    ADSL connectivity questions

    From what I read it's what makes the phone ring, but there is a loop circuit in a microfilter which does the same thing so you don't need it connected.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    Plus it's got a large capacitor inside to make it more obvious. I pulled the orange/white and white/orange. One is connected purely to look neat, the other is the ring circuit. I'd not bother if your connection is fine. LOL rap-, I read that page last night before doing it.

    does no one like the 197?

    The 197 is an excellent car. Here's a couple of posts I've put up in the past. Having spent as long as I wanted in the car yesterday around Brands, without anyone telling me what I can and can't do I was able to drive the car how I wanted. Obviously I've had a 172, 182 with Cup packs and...

    ADSL connectivity questions

    SimonD, you are hero mate. I've just removed the unused cable. Plus the other orange one which they connect purely to keep things neat. My connection is back to how it used to be now. I click, it opens. The biggest improvement has been on the upstream. Stats wise I'm now seeing: ADSL Link...

    ADSL connectivity questions

    The speeds it's bursting to are fine, it's just not stable enough for what really matters, online gaming. Download speeds were better when the line speed was lower. Netgear DG834G. I'll have a poke around this evening and see what happens.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    My router is blocking pings so that's why they got no response atall. I'll allow them later and try running the test from here: www.l8nc.com Will do Griff. I should have time to do it this evening.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    Just had an excellent response from Plusnet. The results of our tests show no fault with your broadband connection. Completed speed tests show that your connection speed is: none found According to BT, this speed is within the limits of acceptable performance for broadband service. Kind...

    What's that then? I moved my router to the master socket last night and got the same results.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    Cheers Simon, I'll have a look at that. I've got a tool for pulling the cables. It's just a hook on the other end of an IDC insertion tool. Just had a read of that. Looks ideal. I don't even have a phone connected to that socket, just Sky and my router. Fingers crossed it helps.

    ADSL connectivity questions

    Basically I'm with Plusnet and have been for a long time. I've been fairly lucky and not really had any problems. My line has always been quick enough and certainly stable. Since I've been upgraded to 8mb I'm connecting at 8128kbps Downstream and 448kbps Upstream which is as expected. My...

    buying a lcd hd tv

    I've got my 360 on the 26" version of that, no complaints from me. We use them at work too as MS recommend them for colour balancing games on.

    "Journées passion"Renault Sport

    I'd love a few laps in the car with Jean Ragnotti, that must be amazing. Full slicks on the Megane, bet that's a bit sticky.

    DSLR camera time

    At those prices you'll soon find the lenses they are bundling won't be up to much. I found that, when I bought my 350D I got a cheap Canon 90-300mm lens. I can see just how bad it is now I've got a decent L series lens, even if that is only up to 200mm, I have a 1.4 extender for it. The kit...

    Xbox 360

    Gears of War is region locked though. When the DS Lite came out a load of guys at work ordered them from Liksang. Two of them were stolen by the courier though. They must have worked out what was in those small packages coming from Liksang. Other than that they have always been very reliable.

    Xbox 360

    I don't see why you would though? There's no strong reason why anyone would spend more on an import version of the console unless they are a serious fanboy, or have to own every console on it's launch date (as one of the lads here always does). Obviously it's your money so your choice. If...

    Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 & Lumines XBLA

    They aren't all that, Mortal Kombat is Mortal Kombat, and Lumines is the same as the PSP version pretty much. Quite looking forward to playing that more though, it's very addictive.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. <----no info inside

    I've had it on pre order for a couple of years from play too, also at £14.99 One of the guys I work with used to work with the guys working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. he was there external producer. There have been some fairly major changes to the game from the original plans. The developers are on at...

    Xbox 360

    I paid silly money for mine, as Amazon screwed up my order. I still think it was worth every penny the amount of use it's had since I got it.

    Xbox 360

    I don't think you'll find anyone that's got one that has any major criticism. The games are good (especially for the first run of titles), Xbox live is fanstastic and there's some amazing games coming out over the next few months, plus they've taken some of the PS3 exclusives away from Sony. I...

    DSLR camera time

    You've seen my pics Jay: http://www.rapidpants.com/images/gallery/motors/2006/Cadwell200906/ You've got the full sized ones of yours which I took. That's with a Canon 350D and Canon EF70-200 f4.0L USM lens. I am still learning how to get the best out of it though. Still a long way to go.

    Not me then. Renault Birmingham sold a couple of them so it could be the other one. Either that or my car has been stolen or cloned.

    Mike traded his in with William Lewis in Telford so unless it's sold on I doubt it's his.
