Broadband question

[rico]

I'm with Bulldog on their 4mbps package.

During the last few days the connection has gone very slow but msn has carried on... so the connection has not been fully lost. If i reset the router the connection comes back at full speed.

A mate said something about the MAC address and linking it directly to the router? Also mentioned i should ring Bulldog and register my MAC address with them.

Any pointers?

I'm afraid your mate is talking bollox. This registering the MAC address was only for people with cable broadband (NTL/Telewest) and you don't even need to do that now with Telewest (not sure about NTL).

Really? Cool.

TW are upgrading the 750k service (which was 500k) to 1Mb over the next few months. FOC. I like.
