NT-Hell... again.

[Simo]

Disaster struck last night!!!

My broadband and cable TV DIED!!! Nightmare!

Had to phone them up this morning and get them to send all manner of test signals to the box. It briefly chirped into life for a few moments, so hopefully when I get home from work today it will be working. smileys/smiley5.gif

[Raysax]

Oh dear, so glad we left NT hell n now with BT.

Hope its all back up n workin when you get home tho boss.

[grantsmith1985]

Just get sky and change to bt so you can get better broadband simo, we done that with the tv (much better) and now currently waiting to get a BT line in so I can get better deals than NTLs broadband.

[Simo]

NTL's 10megabit connection is pretty funky though smileys/smiley17.gif

jokes</font>

we had ntl to start with then changed to bt cuz it was shit but that was ages ago on dial up

[alex19]

Go Idea:

Everytime it f00ks it's self...

Unplug
Take card out of front
Count to 26 while wafting the card around to get some air to it
Can give the card a quick blow aswell
Pop card back in
Plug back in

Try that lot sometime..

It's works once for me...

Tried that a zillion times mate... There must have been a problem with the signal, as it kept saying cable unplugged and other errors.

Ive not done anything though and it was working this morning.

Ive cancelled the engineer that was supposed to come this afternoon (as i couldnt get out of work anyway)... so fingers crosses its still working for tonight.

[Zany_Jim]

Have you had thunder and lightening near you? My nans Sky box is broken because of this. Thats what the engieer said shes not happy as shes missing the start of the premiership smileys/smiley2.gif

[Simo]

Yes, we had some on Sunday night, but Im not sure if lightening can strike the cables under the ground smileys/smiley17.gif

I can see your point with a satelite dish though...

Suie said her nana's NTL box blew up this moring too smileys/smiley5.gif

[sax_bomb]

We had NTL, never had many problems apart from the modem overheating and metling smileys/smiley5.gif

Hope it all get sorted and working.

BTW, what is CS like, thinking of getting it?

Cheers,
Matt
