andrewLast night, I decided to finally cancel my NTL cable modem internet in favour of the ADSL 8 Meg service from Bulldog – although in reality we only get 5 Meg. And that’s when the trouble started.
I had to briefly unplug the modem/router to move it from one location to another. And after that, it just refused to work. The same light came on the router all the time, but nothing else would respond. Not the reset button, nothing.
Now I’m faced with at least a week of non-internet access at home. I don’t even know how my flatmate and I are going to begin to cope. It’s become an essential service for us – and you never know what you love until it’s gone. *sob* I give it a week before my flatmate cracks and thumps me for having blown up our net access.
Oh, and we literally went cold turkey with the broadband. Hell, we had to put the heating on this morning.

Yup!
Not trying to sound a smartass, but you do know that cable modem and DSL modem are different right?
I thought all your flatmates moved out. Who are you living with now?
I could always offer you a look at mine…. and become an 'internet harlot' as well as a 'food harlot'?
Yes, who are these Mystery Men? Or Women?
This explains why you haven't been online. Are you suffering severe withdrawl??? I miss you.
Bulldog?
Whoops…
AFAIK, Bulldog sucks. I tried to get it here, but had nothing but trouble, gave up in the end when ntl offered to give me half price broadband for a year if I stayed with them
The moral of the story. DSL sucks, stick with the fibre-optic network.
Bugger me with a fishfork! New URI and new CMS, wonders will never cease! Good to see you back.
