    In the box that shows my internet connection name (bottom right of screen) I have two other names showing recently. Can someone explain this please?

      Not as long as your wifi is password protected.

      Ain't it a shame when your neighbours is not protected and yours is. Me thinks I had better tell them to get the connection protected PDQ.:huh:

        That's a nice speed - mine is about 1/6th of that.
        Sadly Virgin don't service my area.

        I've never ever quite reached the blistering speed of 7 Mb/s :pcthwack:
        There's no chance of fibre coming here anytime soon.
