The computer I'm using is now being temperamental at times. There's nothing wrong with the keyboard or screen so my wife found a good deal on a tower unit, which we got a couple of weeks ago. On setting it up, I couldn't find a modem connection and it dawned on me that computers today are aimed at the high speed connection, tech games lovers - rather than the dial-up, film, cycle and Meccano users found under this roof.
Enquiring about broadband for me is much like the BBC 'Not The Nine O'clock News' sketch, where a chap goes into a 'Hi-Fi' shop to buy a Gramophone. I've been spoken to in an increasingly foreign language being offered packages of things I've never heard of, much less want. Yet when I ask a question, they don't seem to be able to answer it. I'm certain someone here knows the answers! My questions are: 1. I need the telephone point moved to another room for this. Due to work I plan to have done at the start of 2009, this may need to be moved when work commences (possibly more than once) and again at the end. Can I have three points set up for this at the start or am I going to need an engineer in three times with three payments? 2. I'm told I can get a television line in with this. This would suit me well to rid of the knackered aerial on the roof. It apparently comes with a connection that has to be used in the same room. Is relevant extension cabling easy to get, as I'm not even certain I want the set on the same floor, much less the same room. 3. Lastly, is it possible to get a line for the computer and the television connected by cable only within the house? When my wife uses a company lap top with a wireless connection, I get a headache if I'm in the same room with it for more than 10 mins and I've recently noticed this in a friends house, where I later found he'd had wireless connection put in.
