Won't Sky's Broadband still use the BT infrastructure?

Mrs.WN (the brains of the marriage) reminded me of this same point Goldie about 10 minutes after posting! So you see my request really was totally pointless but thanks for your advice. Back to the drawing board.

Many thanks RLLJ, we have been active on that same theme, had meetings and communications etc but still seem to have been missed out. I am interested to read about callflow so will look that up. smile

We have unreliable broadband due the distance from the nearest cabinet, nothing will improve it due to this so we're stuck with what we've got. I'm often on line and then everything stops or slows down, our new lap top has offered us more resources but nothing else to speed things up. Half our village is ok, we're in the wrong half! wink

The problem you have with your broadband is what is the problem in numerouse areas of the country including where most cc sites are with slow speeds ,we also have the problem at home at "busy"times according to BT and we are on "infinity"

I find it is pointless going abroad and expecting my iPhone to receive a coherent signal from the CMC website. It keeps saying 'we use cookies to give you a better service', then gives a button saying 'I accept' 

Having 'accepted' I then find the same damned screen opens up again 10 seconds later and nothing will allow me to progress onto the site.

All pretty pointless I would say.

PS. have same problem when in UK but then tend to use laptop and a Hotspot to overcome it.

I had a good time at the musical 9 to 5 last night, then bad news this morning about a friend having a massive stroke, then some work at home, followed by a huge queue for a flu jab. This had a productive side as I caught up with local news from fellow queuers. Getting the hang of our electric car now, seems less like a spaceship more like normal transport. Tomorrow OH takes a friend to exchange a M/H back to a caravan, three goes at motorhoming haven't proved to be what he wanted.
