Should resolve itself soon, otherwise reset the router. If it keeps happening then speak to them, the router keeps a log of all disconnections. The times I've reset over the months, with no effect, I just wait for the 'Openreach' van to go past the window to the street 'box' and I know something is happening. As far as 'speaking to them', you must be joking... John from 'you know where' only speaks from a script in broken English.  Nothing personal 'John'  |

... you get this screen, or equivalent on your provider.  Plus it usually happens on a Friday afternoon (like today), when the engineers have already decamped to the pub for the weekend. I may not be online for long |

Oh gould, it seems like they're all leaving us this year - this is getting too scary for words. Ain't that the truth! RIP Ronnie... and hope you're having a hell of a party with your mates who have gone before. |

Signed... 506 now ArcAngel I have also read your story. Have no idea of the right words, but my thoughts are with you and your family. No-one should have to go through that in this day and age. |

Just noticed the 'normal' price... £1.40... x30 =£42 per month I could get a Sky subscription for that... NOT that I would... if it happens, it happens! |

...at the local Spar. Haven't bought that since I was looking for jobs (or careers if you want to be posh). Well, after turning a few pages, I gave up, a broadsheet is just too much for someone of my age now. It was massive and way beyond my comfortable vision. I used to be able to cope with tabloids, well up to page 3 anyway. Does anyone still buy print newspapers anymore, as it's only able to give you yesterday's news, and opinions which are already out of date. Just a thought. |

Germany 2 England 3
that was the best performance from an England team for a very, very long time.
They had heart, skill and belief... What a change.
Plus 3 brilliant goals, not flukes... Will it continue? Well done for tonight anyway.

VapingBad that's a brilliant article from Joe Saward, and puts not only F1 but all TV subscription based sport in the headlights. Sport used to be funded by paying customers at the event, but is now all about sponsors and increasing 'access' charges to the 'mug' punters. It wouldn't be so bad if the quality of the sport had increased, but take just soccer and F1, they are so boring (apart from Leicester of course, a breath of fresh air). I wouldn't go to see the events if it was free, never mind being ransomed by some global enterprise to watch them from the sofa. However, until viewers vote with their feet (or wallets) it will continue, until the money goes and it all crumbles. Can't resist a little swipe at Sky... I've occasionally considered a Sky package, but having looked at the TV listings, I'd rather listen to the Archers on steam radio. When will people realise they are being 'fleeced'.
