Hallo, I have tried to follow this thread and have become more confused by the moment. Surely what you need to know is how far are you from your Local Bt exchange? Also an engineer told me a lot depends on the way the Exchange is set up.. I think he meant the way inside the building the wiring went. I have a family member for example who will not use his Bt telephone for his computer by sharing it. he has another separate Bt line for his computer. He said that way there is no traffic between my phone line and the local exchange which he can see from the back door of his house. I fear I told him darned if I am going to pay BE.TO twice unless they replace the cables around the corner from my house which are waterlogged after heavy rain Re Firewall I have a desktop and laptop and a Wireless Box I think a Firewall is on the Wireless box.. why would you want to remove the Spam Protection I didn't understand that.
