:doh ... THEY AREN'T the ONLY ones!!! :cwm23:

:nono-1-1: ... originally with *Tiscali, our service - *with which we'd been perfectly content - was taken over by TalkTalk several years ago. ................................... :yeahthat:'s when the problem began!

Indeed, it's happening yet AGAIN - right now - even as I type!

What is the problem? you're wondering :cwm25:. Well, every so often - all too often - throughout each day, our internet connection cuts out. :angry: And restoring it, entails disconnecting the MAIN lead at the back of the black control box marked ADSL X6 ... waiting for a few seconds ... then plugging it back in (a trick my nephew taught us ... :anerikke: ... otherwise we'd have been stumped!)

Oh it drives me :crazy: at times, Steve. Don't get me wrong, technology enables us to communicate much more easily with people in virtually ALL parts of the world. And a whole lot faster :Bolt: than doing so by hand. But when things go awry ... grrr! :23_111_9[1]:

:laughitupsmilie: ... NO THANKS, :NoNo: ... I'd more than enough of it :icon_rolleyes: in 2009 - when preparing for Myrna's Spousal Visa during my second visit to the Philippines.

:icon_sorry:, Peter ... you do have my sympathy. :wink:

Next door to the house in marikina, the neighbours have a internet shop, nothing big but it's free Wi-Fi when we are there, and all he wants is some chocolate sent to him in the boxes we send over
