Modem disconnecting with TalkTalk

viji · #1 11-13-2009, 01:00 PM

I connect with TalkTalk using a Thomson Speedtouch330 modem. Unfortunately when I use a P2P app or BitTorrent the modem disconnects after about 5mins. I then have to either re-boot the PC or re-connect the USB cable and then re-connect to the internet. This is very annoying and I can't see why this is happening

If you reed talktalks small print, there is something about them disconnecting you if they think your using p2p sites too much and I can only assume this is whats happening.

I don't have to reset anything to reconnect to the net, it just drops my connection..

I would strongly advise anyone to keep well back from talktalk. I have been with them for a year and it was the worst time of my life on broadband.

Over the past few month they have really got bad for service and support, and now they have teamed up with onetel it's an absolute nightmare.

I asked for a Mac code so I can migrate to Beaming and was told an email would be sent with the appropriate form.

OneTel were a trouble from the beginning. We waited ages for the SetUp Pack to arrive. Then we found we were charged a months fee when we STILL hadnt recieved the pack.

I thought i was the only one having this OneHell problem of disconnection. Like it was stated, its really annoying when you are trying to download p2p files overnight.

We will be leaving them soon.

Any suggestions on the best ISP?
