It is crap, for the first couple of months when it was free and I was still in the "happiness" warranty period is was fine - as soon as I start paying it goes downhill like a lead balloon.

They sent me an email stating "we’ll give first priority to those things most people want to do in the evening – like emailing, looking at websites, watching things on sites like BBC iPlayer" - it goes on to say that online TV could even be better - rubbish, I tried watching online TV tonight for the first time on O2 and its impossible.

Speedtest.net gives me a connection speed of 0.49Mb/s download and 0.27Mb/s upload, my contract is for up to 8Mb/s and I was quoted an average speed of 7Mb/s which is stated on my account page.

I've been on hold to the technical support people for almost an hour now and still I get crap music and no help. ]]> Networking and Broadband BlackKnight_UK http://forums.hexus.net/networking-broadband/175673-o2-home-broadband-heap-e.html Using Homeplugs http://forums.hexus.net/networking-broadband/175668-using-homeplugs.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:34:07 GMT I have bought a pair of Orange homeplugs.

I have bought a pair of Orange homeplugs. I have a Netgear Router DG834G v5, I have plugged one home plug into the power and into the router and the other homeplug into mains and into Ethernet port on 2nd computer but I cannot connect to internet. The two computers are situated in next door rooms on the same floor and on the same ring main. Any ideas on what is wrong? ]]> Networking and Broadband greshoff http://forums.hexus.net/networking-broadband/175668-using-homeplugs.html
