broadband

We live in a new build (2015) and have recently discovered rainwater has been entering under the floor via the phoneline/broadband duct. The green box is at a higher elevation and the duct didn't have either sufficient drainage or wasn't sealed properly when the property was built meaning it...

hi all, recently we were upgraded to VDSL and sent a new TalkTalk HG635 modem. this works but I wanted to use a separate router to handle the home network traffic and DHCP for address reservation + better WiFi. so have bought a DIR-878 for this. I have the HG635 in bridge mode with DHCP turned...

I have moved into an old house last year where the previous owner was 92 and not interested in broadband. The phone line works like this. The drop cable meets the house at the roof where there is a junction box. Another cable comes from the junction box into the cellar where it goes into a BT80...

First of I know one should not move the master telephone socket and it is the property of BT Openreach, none the less my grandparents live in the Kent country side and have done for the last few years. Where they are living now, they have never had very good broadband speed. Typically getting...

Is the item linked below suitable for VDSL as it does not mention being VDSL compatible anywhere. I know VDSL uses higher frequency that ADSL, and want to know will this degrade the VDSL performance of a broadband line? https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GPNTE5ADSL.html Regards: Elliott.

Hi I'm a novice here, so please bear with me...I'll try to give as much info as possible. My (fibre) internet connection stopped suddenly a few days ago - with the router connected to a telephone extension upstairs (via a filter). I don't think anyone's touched anything. Router connected to...

Afternoon all. I am stuck at a crossroads with how to further proceed with a non existent broadband connection setup by talktalk. We had an engineer come to the house to setup all the wiring etc to get everything working for us and was told within a few hours we would have an Internet...

Hi Guys, Apologies if this has already been covered but I need advice. Normanton Telecoms are planning on installing new ethernet cables to various properties throughout Normanton (West Yorkshire) and we need to know if we would need and what type of planning permission is required to dig up...

Hi I'm thinking of carrying out an upgrade on the internal telephone wiring in my flat. At the present moment, the line (provided by Sky) comes into the property to what looks like quite an old master socket which is located in our second bedroom. It then branches off to the hall (2 sockets)...
