I recently took delivery of the BT Fusion
equipment, but the wireless link runs slow.
I've had a wireless network for nearly 3 years
using a cheap 11mbs Origo router. This worked fine
with my 3 year old laptop with an 80211b
wireless card, and with my 2 month old centrino
laptop with Intel Wireless Pro 2200bg built in.
If I wire them into the ethernet port they work
prefectly at the expected speeds, however both run
slowly when used on wireless. If for instance I
sit the laptops side by side, one wired and one
wireless, then surf the web selecting the same
pages at the same time, the wired laptop pages
display display immediately, whereas on the wireless
one they vary between immediate to timing out. Most
of the time the pages take between 5 and 15
seconds to download.
I have the latest drivers for the wireless cards
so that's not the problem. I've spoken on a few
occasions to BT's 2nd level support and we've
tried various things such as - set router to
different channels, disabled router security but still
the same. I've been testing this wit a setup of
both laptops and the router all next to each
other on the dining room table to make sure
there's a direct line of sight between the units.
There are a couple of other wireless router's that
I pick up locally, but I have scanned the
channels that they are using and made sure that
there is no conflict there. I have given the
router to a friend to try at his house and it
works fine - so the problem it seems appears
to be with my environment. I have made sure that
all equipment in the house that might affect it,
ie cordless phones are off but this has had
no effect. Will I be able to resolve this, or
am I going to have to abandon it and revery
back to my old wireless router that worked fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Im totally annoyed with talk talk broadband and
their service.
Ultimately they are more expensive than BT.
I saw lots of posts. The whole I couldn’t get
through to them and my line is awfully un
clear!! One of the frustrated bloger says:
Ultimately “Talk Talk” is the most expensive one!!
Talk Talk .. the cheapest broadband or the free
broadband for life? Is it really cheap??
The following are costs one of my friends paid
from the 1st of July since she started with the
cheapest(!) broadband provider.
1. She called the customer support 8 times because
of a faulty in the line. Only 2 time she
could get through. Each time she has to wait 25
minutes, in average on the phone.
0870.. customer service number costs about 10p per
minute!!
So the she paid about 10X8X25= £20.
2.The direct debit she set up has not gone
through because
the web blog's url as follows: www.jamyam.com/jam/viewtopic.php?t=6
Another bloger in a different web site says she
had to wait 6 months to get broadband:
so, where is the telecom regulators??
