Re: 50mbit install

With the L and XL services I believe the engineer doesn't install the router. It should be the same for XXL, but I'm not 100% sure.

Re: 50mbit install

ok thanks for that, but is there a reason that i should lose ,y sound to my speakers

Re: 50mbit install

Re: 50mbit install

It is his fault as he should of done it, router is easy to install, when loading up pages make sure ou have cleared your cache, or try openDNS

Re: 50mbit install
