Or rather it plugs into the microfilter...and the microfilter plugs into the wall?

Yep, microfilter from the wall first, everything else goes into that........ :)

Once you get it (...Broadband), you will never be able to go back to Dialup again.
How True!

But another reason for keeping a "dial-up" capability is to send and receive faxes.

Unless anyone knows of a way to get into the Public Service Telephone Network at sensible cost from a Broadband connection. That would allow fax sending but, to receive faxes, you need a 'phone number.

OMG Broadband is wonderful!
 
OK all... this is my first proon post after this morning's installation of AOL Broadband and I have to say it couldn't have been simpler!

The NTL engineers arrived and because I am cable digital they left five minutes later having exchanged the cable from wall to box into a splitter to allow the AOL modem be plugged in to the line. Then the AOL disc - a couple of snags as I hadn't stopped out all programs running in the background but once I did that it was plain sailing!

I am thrilled! I have updated Internet Explorer (a download accomplished before I had made a cup of coffee rather than ages as it used to be!

AND ... what is even better for me, for the first year I receive a loyalty discount so I will be paying £8 a month less than I used to for my dialup AOL anytime program!

YAY!!!

Thanks again for all the advice and help .. I am now off to look at the Concorde vids!! :ok:

Re: the Sky system being continually plugged in - mine isn't.

I plugged it in for the 1 st week of installation, then unplugged it and it has been that way ever since.

It hasn't affected my Sky service in any way.

takenthe5th, my sky box is plugged in all the time because when I am pissed I tend to vote using the dreaded red button.....:O :ooh: :8

Good to see it went well brock, the quality of the vids will depend also on the speed of your pc.........
