More on my friends Internet access issues, which I mentioned earlier..

He would seem to have several issues and is on Plusnet, which is BT
supplied.

1. He seems to be reporting his Internet connection is unstable.

2. His wifi access from the Plusnet router is desperately poor range
coverage.

He contacted PN this am and PN has checked out 1 and agree with him. They
are sending a new router and have upsold him to fibre. They suggest that
they don't need to run anything into his house, he just needs to switch to
the new router.

Virgin recently ran fibre round the village and left little plastic access
points in the pavement, adjacent to every home. Where people have taken up
the Virgin service, they have had to run from the access point, into the
house with cable. How come Plusnet/BT don't need to do this?

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.

homeplugs are the work of the devil ..........
