Ted, If your provider is saying you have a line fault (something I seem to recall is pretty rare to get out of them without accusing them of lying), then wait for the engineer to come out and fix it. A line fault exists between the master socket and exchange in the case of a BT based service, or between the cable modem and the core in the case of a Virgin Media based service.
Of course, if you can borrow a router from a neighbour, and use that to test it, you'll have a better idea whether "line fault" is the new "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" -- Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs On 24 July 2011 09:42, Ted Wager <t...@trufflesdad.plus.com> wrote: > My current d/load speed is 15kbps..I have contacted my provider and they > say I have a line fault..Is there a device (apart from buying another > router) that will allow me to test the connection or any way I can test > the router ? > -- > Regards > Ted Wager > Using Zorin 5 Linux > > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
