We've just had BT Infinity installed today by the by. Blimey it's fast. Chuffed so far ! ( or is that like being chuffed with an Alfa ?? ) Swords of Damocles dangling etc? Hope not ! It has a big cloud apparently. Whatever one of those is. Should I be pleased?

Had it for nearly 3 years... and it's now twice as fast as of last year. For me the symmetric speed is useful - very fast for upload and download.

Although I assume Virgin Media have much faster upload available these days.

AOL /TalkTalk is back at its old tricks

DNS issues - phoneline admits to Email being down.

Logged on by connecting to admin on router - change nothing /save settings and low and behold I get a connection.

Looked into changing the DNS addresses but these are locked! Must be TalkTalk special config.

Late last night I managed to get a connection on Talk Talk Mail, but still nothing on Win Live Mail. Having logged on to the TT Users Forum it seems to be effecting most of the country.

I thought the same with my Thompson router supplied by Pipex, but after googling I found the answer of how to change the DNS values.

I did it via a DOS window and then typed 'telnet 192.168.1.254' to make the required changes. Obviously 192.168.1.254 might not be your routers address, in which case substitute it for the one you have. Then you'll need the commands to make the changes.

eg

npr.me.uk/telnet.html

If you cock it up, then you can reset the router to "out of the box settings" using the 'hidden' button on the side/back and hold it in for at least 10 seconds.

What router you got?

The Thompson router might allow telnet sessions - but not all routers will allow configuration changes this way. My Linksys router does not allow telnet or ssh sessions - it's all web browser based. I don't think my BT Homehub would either - that's off and in the cupboard.

Unless you have lots of computers, phones, tablets, etc. you can always update your computer/phone to use say Google's DNS servers. More complicated if the device is used on multiple networks but many laptops/desktops are not.
