Just a rant, before my connection drops again. Recently my ISP "upgraded" me to ADSL 2+, after which the performance has been erratic to awful. Helpdesk has been no use, so I googled it myself, and it seems the likely problem is the far, far lower noise tolerance. Any hint of noise, and the connection drops. I'll try an i plate, which is reputed to provide a cleaner signal. But I've spent goodness knows how many hours speaking to technical support and they haven't had a clue what the problems were.
I've also had a problem with their DNS, which has helpfully blocked such notorious porn sites like microsoft.com.
