Virgin is probably the fastest unless you go for BT Infinity, both are
faster due to the fibre optic to the closest possible point of
course. The
snag with all of this is that often the net itself gets clogged up
and one
cannot actually do much about that.


Something that niggles me is that I lose the connection at least 3 or 4
times a week. It's just a case of reconnecting to the router to get
back on
line but I do wonder am I just losing the wireless link between my
laptop
and the router or is it the internet connection I keep losing for 30
seconds? Very occassionally I have to do a complete power down and
restart
to get connected.

My nephew says I should get a VM engineer to come out and fix the line
everytime it happens but I guess they would only come out if the
internet
became unuseable.


Can you not cable connect it to the router for a while and see?.

I could. Probably try that next time the wireless connection kicks me
offline. As luck would have it I've not had a problem since this thread
was started.

Also how much 2.4 G radio use is there where U live?..

How do I check / find out?

Install Net Stumbler on your PC.:-

That will tell you about all the wi-fi networks in your area. It's only
a start though, as Bluetooth also uses the band, as do video senders,
some remote controls and a lot of other stuff.
