Hi Laura, Hi Ronni, Just to add an observation, when Ronni says: Make sure your modem is working: All the lights should be on except one and that should be blinking erratically. I have found that - if the lights are not correctly lit, it will indicate a problem - BUT just because the lights

Hi Ronni I've been able to speak to my friend and here are the answers to your questions. She loses the connection while using the internet. Not sure about whether cable or ADSL and she will try and find that out. I'm inclined to think it would be the latter but only guessing. The router is

Hi Rob That must be most annoying for you! However I've been present on a number of occasions when the connection has been lost and it's had nothing to do with a phone call. I've always assumed it was just a Telstra thing but until yesterday had no idea just how often the problem is

Rob I think the only way is to buy/borrow one and install that on your phone and then ring the phone and check the result. If you have more than one phone on your system try disconnecting all but one and try your filters in turn on that line, you may then find one gives more the problem and
