I wouldn't even *think* of phoning!
You'll get much better service direct from the techs and, if they're not rushed off their feet, it's quick! (Watched somebody report a problem on there the other day -- they got the full diagnosis, network check, new modem ordered and an engineer visit booked all within 30 minutes.)
Ill try newgroup when its its really bad again do i need to install any applications for it to work? (i think so when i had a look the other ay but it looked a bit complex?). Also jcuk I did get very poor speeds with one computer plugged straight into the modem. Thanks for the replys i appreciate the help. If i get anywhere ill post back.
