Needing Internet advice please

Interesting .... I am also with TalkTalk but will never change as they not only give me free BB, LL for £10 but free local, national and international dialling 24/7 as well! Now I KNOW I'll not get better than that anywhere else! Specially as I make at least one overseas call each night and some last 60 mins or more! My monthly phone bill is usually between £25-35 depending upon how many 0879 numbers I've called!

I don't get the regular drop-out problem that jjordie does but I do get drop-outs for a few minutes now and again at no particular time of the day. When it happens, I usually just go have a game of spider solitaire for a few mins or do the washing up and eventually it comes on again. I did have a persistent problem with connection failures a few months ago and the Outreach engineer came at the behest of TT and supplied me with a new router which seemed to be the problem as it's been okay since.

I also never switch my router off except for about once a month to 'degouse' it (is that the right word?).

 

Thanks all for input. I am tempted to try a new router before doing a marathon
call to TalkTalk.

Was your replacement the same make though updated Daisees?


And I will leave the router on if that is the preferred thing to do but
husband is worried it's a fire hazard to have it switched on overnight.

He'd hate my house, l have 6 pcs plugged in, 2 tablets and 5 mobiles. I love IT and I work from home in computer repairs.

 

LOL! - and are they are on 24/7? then yes he would Julie!
He just thinks everything is a fire hazard.

The computers aren't but were in the past. Phones and tablets yes. My dad is the same he makes sure the kitchen is all unplugged but doesnt have a say in my office/workshop.. it is best practice to unplug most items due to lightening strikes. Have been out to quite a few houses who lost there tv, computer and sky boxes.
