Yeah the usb modem might work but they do not do well for speeds over 2mb hence the upgrade. Can you disable Norton Internet security for a couple of mins to see if that makes a difference? | |

surely its the websites that check your browser version, not your isp, your isp merely provides the connection :boggle: | |

I have a problem with my home computer. I have uprgraded to 8Mb broadband with BT but now i cant view any web pages. I've checked the lights on the modem and everything is correct. I have two arrows on the task bar that are both green and if i hover the mouse arrow over the connection symbol it says connected. When i open IE it doesnt display any web pages. Ive tried opening pages from my favourites but nothing happens. Spoke to some monkey at BT who wasted an hour of my time and still didnt fix it. They said its a problem with my PC. I'm totally lost so any suggestions will be welcome. |
