We used to be on Talk Talk and the connection and reliability were perfect. We changed back to BT, the connection "Good Connection" ratio is down to about 10% and the once the whole handshaking bit has been successfull, the d/l spedd etc are often very poor and the connection often times out and the session aborts.

[Dorset] [OT] BT Line Quality
Hi Guys Long time ago in the days of Fidonet, I had to ask BT to change a particular setting on my line to improve connections on the modem. I find I am in the same situation again. Unfortunately I cannot remember what setting I need to get changed and who to call and ask to get it changed. Anyone out there know what the heck I'm on about.

I use a 512Mb HD in a USB caddy with my Samsung TV. Works a treat. Also used USB sticks too.

[Dorset] Hi & Dual Boot
Well I thought it about time I joined the local group now I live in Dorset. I am Ken, Founder of the Hampshire Group back in 1998. Using Linux in 1 form or another since March 1998. Currently using Ubuntu 12.10. With 12.04 on a netbook and Mint on a small desktop. Looking forward to next meeting at The Broadway. My first problem I have an Asus K55A running Windows 8. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit, but the grub does not run the windows. When I select the windows boot entry, I get the following error message error: can't find command 'drivemap'. error: invalid EFI filepath. it then defaults back to the main grub menu and I can only boot the Ubuntu option. Google has not been my friend this time. Any help appreciated.

Heavily updated 9.04 here. Can't accept t&c s or marketing questions. Everything else up to there was fine.
