| 686057 | 2008-07-07 07:00:00 | Welcome to Press F1 calebcc - has this cutting off at around the 300mb mark always happened, or has it suddenly just started ? | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 686059 | 2008-07-07 08:54:00 | Sounds from first impressions that there is some sort of Cap that's stopping it, If your plan has a 10Gb limit, there shouldn't be a problem. You mention Wireless, have you tried with a wired connection ? In the mean time, until a answer can be found What you should try is using a download manager,something like This one here (www.freedownloadmanager.org) - its free and I use it myself, saved many a file when almost done and something stops/screws up, at least if the site says its has resume download, it will carry on from where it stopped. |

| 686060 | 2008-07-07 23:55:00 | i have and wired works perfectly its just annoying because i didnt get a wireless adapter so i could use LAN | calebcc (13939) | ||
| 686061 | 2008-07-08 01:36:00 | You must have a wireless adapter somewhere or else you'd never connect?! :) | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 686062 | 2008-07-08 07:32:00 | i think you misunderstood me i do have a wireless adapter and thats what i use when the problem arises. what i meant was, i did buy it but not so it would sit there and i would use lan |

| 686063 | 2008-07-08 12:07:00 | Ahh, now I understand, sorry :confused: Perhaps this may help (from Xtra's help pages) Setting up your wireless connection How far should my computer or other devices be from my wireless modem? For most situations, you should be able to connect to the Internet up to 50 metres inside your home, however environmental factors in your home or office may affect your connection, for example concrete, metal or very thick walls. What sorts of things can interfere with my wireless connection? As with any radio signal, there are a number of environmental factors that can adversely affect your wireless connection. To get the best out of your wireless Xtra Broadband connection, consider the following when choosing where to put your modem: • Avoid placing large metal objects between your modem and your computers. • Avoid having large volumes of water, such as a fish tank or a swimming pool, between your modem and computers. • Try to place your modem away from other electromagnetic devices, including TVs, radios, cordless phones and microwaves. We recommend that you change the channel on your cordless phone to avoid interference. • Don't have too many high-density floors and walls between your modem and your computers. Cordless phones (most) and microwave ovens work on the same frequency (2.4GHz) as your modem, so can be a problem. |
