Hello again! I'm back with new "sparkling questions"! I moved to this new flat, and I need to know what "Internet connection" I can get (ADSL or VDSL, and what speed...). For example I know it will works with ADSL 5MB download, by asking neighboors. The "check your line speed" features...

Hi I add a closure note as the electrician came today. It appears that it was the plug that was faulty, in particular the cable going to that plug: basically just underneath the plug/socket, the cable has been "eaten" by mice. The electrician suspected that it will even have a dead mouse...

Hi! Cheerios! I understood the following, which has been explained in wikipedia: If a heater is rated at 1000 watts (1 kilowatt) and that heater is on for one hour then one kilowatt hour is used (equivalent to 3600 kilojoules). Using a 60 watt light bulb for one hour consumes 0.06...

Hi both of you! Thanks for the fast answers. I understand it's "dodgy" and dangerous, I will ask the landlord for an electrician. However, in the meantime it has been there for ages (I have been here 2 years so far) and it did not make that problem... In particular, when today I...

Hi all, This is my first post, so I join your community! I will try to detail thoroughly the issue. I have attached pictures! We have a problem in the flat where the fuse corresponding to a few socket plugs keeps "disconnecting". By doing so it also produce a loud noise (Bang) and sparkle...
