Hi everyone, I've been having an annoying problem with 2 ISP's I joined since last year. I joined Tiscali (BIG mistake) last april, and our contract ended in april 2005 (thank God)
When i was with tiscali, the first 3 months were actually very good, but after that, my 512k Package slowed down to less than 250k, I was getting disconnected EVERY time the phone rang or got used, and when I left their ADSL I was delighted. Now I know spyware and internet threats can be an issue, which is why I keep my PC clean. Since I left tiscali, I moved house and joined Bulldog Broadband, which is also an ADSL connection, only this time I've upgraded to 2mb speed.
I formatted my hard drive to remove any traces of tiscali from my system, and I've got my PC set up the way i want it.And what do you know, same thing, Bulldog is giving me pretty much the same problem, only it's not as often...It's damn annoying.
If anyone could help me with this, you would be doing me a HUGE favour, and for anyone else who is having this problem.
here are my PC specs:
AMD Duron 1800+ ASrock K7S41 Mainboard Nvidia Ge-force FX5200 128mb AGP display card 2 X 256mb DDR Ram 333mhz Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
All of my drivers are fully updated etc...
Just to save anyone time if they want to help me, I have contacted Tiscali more than 100 times, no one could help, I have contacted Bulldog via email (no reply and it's been 3 weeks ago now), I rang them up, all I get is "I'm sorry but we're currently experiencing extremely high call volumes".
I did get through in the end but I kept getting told to redial numbers, choose different options, none of which were correct! There was one thing that confused me when I got my modem from bulldog though, they only sent me one filter, which they said was all I needed :-s
If anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated, please contact me at: shenmue_rules AT hotmail dot com (for spam purposes I don't use links, just use your noggin' ;-)
