    Phone works but no broadband

    I've removed the filter from the master socket and plugged the extension lead in.I've put a filter on the extension socket and plugged in the phone and the modem into the filter. I can't see how this would cause a problem.

    Phone works but no broadband

    Now you've explained it it seems obvious,cheers for that. Could I connect the extension cable into the master socket itself rather than thru a filter,would that work ?

    Cavity wall installers sealed up air brick

    A while back I had cavity wall insulation installed under the Warm Front scheme. I noticed they sealed the rear air brick with silicon sealer but left the front one open. I've had the floorboards up in the living room and had a good look in the cavity below and can see there is gaps in the...

    Wiring 240v GU10 spotlights

    Wiring 240v GU10 spotlights

    I knew I'd get replies like that,but this energy consumption argument is a load of *******s,in a bedroom at least. Ask yourself how long you have the bedroom lights on....i doubt it's half an hour a day for most people. AND I have the dimmer set quite low as I don't need a strong light in a...

    Wiring 240v GU10 spotlights

    I've just put 2 rows of 4 GU10's (35w) in a bedroom,roughly 3.3mtr square on a dimmer and it's much better than the original pendant. It's brighter and move evenly spread and not harsh at all

    Cameron promised us a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty if the tories got into power but then amended the statement to say only if it hadn't been ratified by the time they got in knowing full well it would be ratified by the time a general election was called. The Tory party used to be split...

    Bigot

    Don't you see it as a refreshing change for a 'normal' member of the public to give their views to a politician rather than the usual hand-picked,scripted types we often see ? Aren't you sick of the spin ? Aren't you sick of smug politicians spouting the party line,the only time we get to hear...
