| Ours is the same, especially if it's windy. Such a nuisance! |

| Our village had very strange internet recently for over a week. It said we were online but requesting any website was impossible. Nothing. Our internet man kept saying 'big problem Sofia'. When I finally pressed enough buttons on my computer, I managed to get into 'diagnostics' which said that a 'remote firewall' could be the problem. How this firewall could ever be found was a complete mystery to me but eventually our 'man' must have found it and, touch wood, its now fixed. Anyone else had this type of annoying problem? Being out of control in this weather is not funny but I guess we all managed before internet existed! |

| Big Problem folks. I have lost my main email address can anyone help? I think its because I deleted cookies in History because I was being very security minded. When I tried to reset my address and password it won't let me because my IP is now in Bulgaria and I set it years ago in England. I found the answers to the security questions, even my post code but because I am now in Bulgaria I guess security won't allow it. What do I do?? This is my main address and all my contacts are on it including this forum. Can Admin advise please? HELP. How to I restore 'cookies' which might solve the problem? I am useless at IT. |

| Not so useless after all. After scrolling through all the help buttons, I did the simplest thing and re-typed my email address and password and BINGO it was back. Whew, what a relief - I was thinking of all the contacts I had lost and the secure sights like banks who have my address. I am one very relieved old lady I can tell you. I do back ups but would my email address be on them? Everything is so secure nowadays. |

| I always keep a note of my email address and the password on a notepad or text document and when I back up on to disk its always there. |

| Apparently Vivacom have had huge problems this past couple of days. Both Sofia and Varna hit very badly, it follows that most surrounding areas will also be affected. Add to that problems with Spectrumnet in the Varna area. One of their main transmitter towers, Avren, has had power supply problems. Luckilly our internet was back for the weekend and the 6 Nations so all's not lost. |

| Hi All we have a local wifi network here ,having read the specs on the receiver found out that the temp range is +40 to -20 Airmax
it keeps cutting out when temps are below zero. they will not fit it inside a window (reduces the signal too much) so late evening internet is spasmodic to say the least |

| We are back on at the moment but we do expect for it to go off at any time, we were told its down to the weather and temperature we are wireless too so maybe what we were told is true. |
