Everything else freezes around here, so why not my Broadband “wires”
It sounds like food you have with chips and peas!
Again, I’m having broadband issues, for the last four days, during the twilight hours, under clear Yorkshire Wolds skies, the temperature has been falling to -7 degrees C, and I have a theory this causes a fault on the line! It just seems very coincidental, if we get a cold spell or very hot spell my Broadband has issues. Recently spoke to Eclipse Internet, that states that four other Eclipse Internet users on the Exchange also had issues this week, at the same time, so it was suggested it was BT, playing with their Exchange!
I’ll think I’ll be opening that call again Eclipse Internet!
Here are some lovely test results
Router Connection Statistics
Whilst the rest of the world, surfs the Net, at lighting speeds of 8, 20, 40 and 100MBps, I can only dream!

We’ve now also, added the Christmas Tree lights outside, in the Magnolia Tree.
I also got a little bored, and decided rather than using a traditional plug-in 240v 24 hour timer, I would add them to the X10 Computer Controlled System, so I can turn them off via a VMware Virtual Server, running Windows 2008 Web Services!
Lindsey asked “Why?“ - I replied, because I can do stuff like that!
So in thoery I could grant access to this Website, on the Internet to turn them off remotely, or let other people turn them on or off!
The website is basic, but it functions, just need some graphics and CSS!
Update: I’d already written this blog, and submitted for publishing, before catching an Episode of “The Big Bang Theory” - The Cooper-Hofstadter Polarisation (s1e9) - at this very start of the episode, Howard Wolowitz also demonstrates a light and stereo being power-on via x10, and enabling public access to do the same thing, which Penny also states “Why?” - you can get a really cheap wireless remote from Radio Shack!
Okay, so I’m a nerd! But we all knew that!

If your telephone master socket, looks like this example, it could be the problem!
UK BT Master Telephone Socket with many extensions
try removing a few extensions, and just connect your Broadband Modem or Router!
(this example provided by a friend, it did have more extensions, that have since been removed! The ADSL Broadband Router light did not light )
My BT Master Socket - New ADSL faceplate
If you fancy some DIY, you can change the BT Master NTE5/5A faceplate, for a modern NTE2005, (ADSL faceplate) which has a connection for telephone and Broadband USB Modem or Router, and then there is no need to use an additional broadband filter. NTE2005 (ADSL faceplate) are readily available on eBay and Online.

and just after I posted this, I noticed that the Real-Time Energy Usage how started to work on the website, and this could only be working, if computers are sending data to the Internet via fixed ADSL!

My broadband failed today at 12.10, whilst I was trying to obtain car insurance, after a call to Eclipse Internet, and trying six routers, and a Thomson ST330 USB ADSL Modem, my broadband is kind of faulty somehwere between here and Eclipse Internet.
(Thomson is now called Technicolor, so if you after Thomson drivers for your USB modems, head this way).
So I’m operating on my Huawei E585 via 3G.
Ping Test on 3G
Okay, the latency is slow, but that’s to be expected, but the download speed is the same as I paying Eclipse Internet. Three (3) costs me £5 a month, unlimited, Eclispe Internet £24.99 (well it will be 2.5% more now!).
Might need to think about a fixed 3G Router for the future!

Despite the complications arising from the new firmware version you solved all the problems and I am very happy indeed, especially in the knowledge that the firmware is intact. Feel free to quote me.
All the very best – and wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year”

iPad Gadget of the Year - Huawei E585 - also called MiFi device.
The Huawei E585 MiFi Moble WiFi Wireless 3G Modem is currently exclusively only available on the Three network and it’s SIM-locked to this network, if you insert another SIM from another provider O2, Voda UK, Orange or T-Mobile you’ll receive an “Insert SIM”, “Bad Sim”, “Sim Lock”, “Invalid SIM” or similiar error. If you would like to use this fanastic 3G Wireless Router on another network you’ll need to remove the SIM-LOCK. This is where you need to be very careful, there are various different ways of removing the SIM-LOCK, the correct way and the wrong way, some hacks have re-written the firmware, the result removes the SIM-LOCK, but leaves you with a E585 modem with modified firmware, and you’ll not be able to change the firmware in the future.
This method reveals the true SIMLOCK code, and then you enter this SIMLOCK code into the E585 via the web interface.
The method is very simple
- Insert SIM card from another network.
- Turn on MiFi (E585) Invalid SIM will be displayed.
- Connect MiFi (E585) to computer.
- Read and download flash contents from MiFi (E585).
- Unlock code is hidden in flash contents.
- Enter Unlock code in hidden menu.
- UNLOCKED.
- For details on unlocking and software please make a 10 GBP donation via PayPal.
- and by return I’ll send you the PDF document and software to unlock your E585.
- The donation pays for the hosting of this website, and thousands of hits and free information I’ve provided on unlocking Three Mobile Modems.
