If I may add an aside in the same vein. My header will indicate who my ISP
is. When I switched from BT I was pleasantly surprised at speed and
reliability of connection. Now 6 months later I get the same problem as Paul
gets from msn.
I've loaded Freeserve as an alternative ISP and choose that if my current is
being naughty. Trouble is my set-up has been optimised for my current ISP
(NetOptimiser) and Freeserve is a tad slower! :-((
Guess when the year is up I look for another? Any really good ones????
