cannot find server ISP woes
Discussion
Most every early evening now, I am able to connect to my broadband service, but nothing comes through. It definitely conects, sometimes I get litle bit of my home page (Google) but by the time it's halfway throughdownloading the logo that's it, nothing more.
Eventually it comes up at the bottom of the screen "cant find server". This can go on for hours sometimes,this evening I tried to get on and got nothing unitl about 10pm. I rang the helpline and eventually got a chap in I presume India who was looking at the problem from the perspective that there is something wrong with the way my computer is set up, but the computer is fine, I'm on now with no poblems whatsoever.
I'm quite sure that it's an ISP problem and unless they can fix it, which I assume means increase their capaccity, it looks like a need a new ISP. Any recommendations?
Funy thing, while I'm sat here this evening fuming, I get a call from my ISP asking if I wowuld like to have broadband free, all I need to do is to sign up for their mobile phone contract in excess of £30 a month. I wouldn't have their mobile phone service if it was free either, because around here Vodafone is the only one that works everywhere
TIA

What ISP are you currently using and how are you connecting to the service? In the network connections function what connection speed are you seeing during these strangulation periods compared with good service. If you're using wireless is it possible that your neighbour is 'borrowing' your modem and taking your bandwidth?

Forum policy,no names, future's bright, no wireless, conection panel say 1.1mbps throughout, have to be quick before strangulation
