Dodgy Internet or Dodgy Wiring

October 5th, 2011 No comments

Argh… my internet connection is driving me crazy! I don’t know what it is, but my Netcomm NB9WMaxxn modem resets every few minutes. And, it gets worse in bad weather. I’ve had my broadband provider check everything and they’ve told me everything is find up to the connection into the property. So, I would assume there is some dodgy wiring in the walls. It doesn’t help that the walls are solid concrete and that I’m no wiring expert.

So, it looks like I’m stuck with a flaky internet connection and phone call dropouts since I use VoIP on a Naked DSL line.

The fallback solution is to run my laptop and any other laptop in the house through my iPhone when the hardline plays up. This seems to work pretty well, but… the concrete walls also make mobile reception in my place pretty bad.

It would be great if there was a great internet provider combined with great phone wiring that I could use. Guess I’ll just have to wait…. until I move house… urgh… who knows when that’s going to be.
