Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

I use Opera and have very few problems getting into the Gen, I think it must be IE or your connection causing the problem Col....


cheers,

Oddly enough, I was going to comment over there that they must be doing something right as the speed has picked up quite a bit in the last week or so.

I am quite happy for someone else to take on the bother and cost of hosting the Code Group.

My only problem there is that I have to log in twice. The first attempt never works but the second always does.

And, a big thank you Moggs for hosting it. salute

Hi Guys,

For those of you in the UK I repeat my recent post as it may be of use. Of course you probably know more about it than me but it does seem to make the connection more stable - I have not had the annoying error message "IE cannot display the webpage" for 2 weeks now.

"Hi Guys,

I have been having internet problems for a while - slow and frequent dropped connections. I have aquired a cheap gadget (£5) called an i-Plate which fits to my BT box (won't work with some boxes and you will not in theory need it with an "Open Reach box"). It is supposed to stabilise the line, reduce noise and cancel out interference from the old ring tone circuit if your box is that old. Seems to be working so far but is supposed to take 2 or 3 weeks before your ISP responds to the improved stability and increases your speed. Mine was running at about 3.5mbs and whilst it varies it is now about 5mbs and has hit 7.5mbs once - may still be improving as it has only been in place for just over a week.

Might be worth considering googling i-plate and looking at the specs and comments. Seems to work for 7 out of 10 users."

BT tell me I will be going "FTTC" in a month, ie Fibre optic cable To The nearest "Cabinet" - the cast iron boxes at the side of the road painted grey or green so that might help as well.


Pete
