If you use OpenDNS for your DNS servers I'm fairly sure that by registering for a free account with them you can enable type correction and things like shortcuts.

It won't change your IP profile instantly because that isn't how it works. What would change is the speed your modem connects at.

Currently in the same type of situation. Last week i was constantly restarting router and on Monday i got stuck on a 250Kbps profile. Didn't help I was also synching at 64/256 afew times. No change in 5 days. I emailed o2 asking for a reset but who knows. Only got to put up with it for 9 days before I get migrated. Stupid BT.

If you give me your email i'll give you the CEO's PA's email, it worked for me. Last time I complained to her I got 300 quid off the bill, and wine sent to me next day. Make sure you keep calm and use spellcheck though.

If they're charging VAT then there should be a VAT number on the invoice. This is normally all that's required as far as expenses/tax write offs go. I wouldn't have thought they would do anything to your service just for asking though.

By any chance do you have any P2P stuff running, as that sort of port range is one I would associate with those sort of apps, and if you're instigating hundreds of connections a minute that would possibly explain why the router is bricking itself. Could just also add a rule to the firewall to deny any communication from that IP.

I'd be starting with trying to work out why your IP profile is so low. Have you done anything to the phone wiring lately, added any new points, connected any new devices? EDIT: Simple things first, have you tried a new microfilter?

It probably won't work on a draytek but a firmware with inbound qos (tomato) can do it, although since it's not "true" qos you need to set the inbound lower than you would with a qos system. In my case its 600k to prevent games/voip (~120k) breaking up, but it sill adds 4-5ms which is a fair trade imo. A qos isp would be preferable, if you find any of those though...

I would strongly reccomend a Dlink 2704b. Rock solid, great signal. Our router is in the front bedroom and I still get signal right at the end of the garden. 7 year warranty as well iirc.

I called up asking for an upgrade and I'm waiting on the router and modem to arrive, it should b due this week. I've already got the old modem installed with my old router. I can tell you what I get exactly when the parcel arrives. I'm not surprised if the installation service is delayed since the offer they have atm just went online 3 days ago, and its a pretty good offer. Maybe they're ...

It's because your current NTL 250 modem only supports 20mb and Docsis 2.0, whereas 50mb platform runs on the newer Docsis 3.0 framework which requires a new modem. But yeah - phone them up and complain, say you'll leave Virgin when your contract is up if they dont waive the fee. It's not a hard process to set the modem up really, £50 is excessive by any means considering you are ...

DNS isn't going to help you at all if it is the line dropping sync. Be's DNS is pretty terrible from what I remember, best to use OpenDNS: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Put them into your router, plenty of instructions on Google or indeed the OpenDNS site even has a handy set of guides if you tell it what router you're using. If the line is unstable you might want to increase the ...

If you're happy to look at Zen and don't mind their prices you won't find a better provider on the BTW network IMO. Just moved my folks from ADSL24 over to Zen (they also live in a small village in Lincolnshire, close to Sleaford) and the service has apparently been much more consistent since the migration.

The setting you ask to be changed when you ring Sky up is Max Delay, they will change it to 8 for you if you tell them you're a gamer. It might make your connection less stable tho, meaning you'll have to sync at a lower speed, it will probably be fine with this setting tho. Wireless shouldn't make too much difference afaik, when i ping bbc.co.uk my ping only increases by 1 using wireless ...
