Thumbs down Any UK members have BT Broadband?

If so I pity you if you have had to endure the misery I have had for the last 6 days.

Despite me telling them repeatedly that there has been absolutely no configuration changes during the last six days, (I haven't even saved a file to my machine in that time!) I keep dropping my connection.

All the lights that should be on are on but the machine doesn't recognise the network it's associated with, oh no, hang on a minute, yes it does. I can click a link and the page will load instantly, oh no, wait a minute, it's slower than dial up!

I bought a new microwave recently and even unplugged that in case it was having an effect. Performing a rain dance or chanting my mantra may have been more affective for all the difference that made.

So BT are telling there isn't a defect on the line, and their suggestion was that I connect via ethernet and try that! This machine has never been connected to any network via ethernet ever. (It's my new Black MacBook I got in March). So I trudge off to find a bit of CAT 5 while they kindly wait at the other end of the line - it's an effing 0845 number!

At the start of this post I had no wireless connection, now it's fat and full on. Two hours before I phoned BT my connection was sweet, then it wasn't.

It's not my machine, it's not my router, tried a mates router - no change, it's my damn line.

I'm beginning to form my own opinion of what BT stands for
