connections to internet

shillelagh · 09-05-2008, 23:10

Anyone else getting a bad internet connection.

I've been disconnected and reconnected 5 times in the last 40 mins. Yes i know im with aohell. But this afternoon i signed up with sky and gave them the mac code - could this be what im going to get from now on till my sky comes through?

Any other ideas why its like this - could it be the weather its muggy and ive been on here for quite a long time?

just so you know... when you get your sky up an running your connection will be a bit dodgy for a while... mines great now and im with sky

Same here I went to Sky and they do tell you for about ten days you will have teething problems. It does settle down.

I'm with BT Broadband and I occasionally loose my conection, don't know why just happens out of the blue, usually when I'm just ready to submite a post on here

I did have a freephone number for getting in touch with bt announcements very handy if they are working in the area, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Thanks for the tip Granny, mine was playing silly beggars so unplugged it and fingers crossed it has done the trick

I would ring them and just ask if you are connected, you will have a few problems for about ten days. Mez found that out before I was connected by going to Skys web-site, so don't be disheartened if you have a few probs to begin with
