Lets not let this get blown out of proportion.

Chrissy - Problems with your connection should ALWAYS go to your ISP
helpdesk first. I dont know why youd even consider using the adsl
discussion list for this - whilst you use DSL, your problem is not
specifically related to DSL and as much as we are able to render
assistance, we are NOT a helpdesk. If this list (which is informal, and
was created by enthusiasts, not people professionally involved per se)
didnt exist, would you have considered emailing someone for help? I think
not - thats what helpdesk is for.

FWIW all the suggestions ive seen on the list so far are exactly what I -
as a helpdesk employee - would go through with you. Call your helpdesk.

Next time, try your helpdesk first... its all about context.

Jeremy - Do you think you could pleeeease keep comments like the one you
made Off List? I know what youre like, and you know I know.. :P Deserved or
not, they dont help...

Everyone - Lets remember we're here to help eachother, with *technical*
*ADSL Specific* issues first and foremost..

Thanks guys and remember - for connection problems RING YOUR ISP FIRST! :P
