Virgin recently ran fibre round the village and left little plastic

They use the existing phone line. Its only fibre to the street cab. Its
copper thereafter.


Friend bought himself a pair of BT Homplugs, to extend the range of his
wifi (2). During his call to PN, they said the Homeplug might be causing
him the problems with his poor interned - I don't really see how,
however the Homeplug access point, seemed not to be working at all,
despite it all being lit up. The AP failed to show in his devices list
of available AP's.

I have the same pair of Homeplugs here, just for when I might need them
and they work absolutely fine.

They are crap when more than two are on the network
