After months of too-ing and fro-ing with my ISP, countless telephone calls and two technicians visiting, out internet connection is finally fixed, and working the way it always should have!

The second technician (Matt from Downer) did the trick – clearing away all the damp and “manky” old wiring, and making everything watertight and ship shape.

Hopefully dropped connections and s-l-o-o-o-o-w speeds are a thing of the past…

I’m so happy!

We have a splitter but it appears to be on the fritz… Put the filter back on our phoneline and instantly speeds shot up again!

For some reason the internet was going blindingly slow this morning, but then sped up to be quite fast

A bit later in the day… better!
