Philman Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Possibly if BT operate in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland and France. :-D Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 hymer1942 - 2009-10-11 9:54 PM Why I did not find it funny is, someone does what Judge did and it turns the thread into a joke when asking a serious question, surely jokes are for chatterbox, this is not the first time for me. Looks like you were spot on Judge. I don't want to be picky but that dish looks like it may be the wrong frequency for wifi & I might have a payload problem.

RupertGS Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The question ought to be not "Is it funny"" but "Is it appropriate?"It probably was funny but I have some sympathy with the original poster who, when asking a serious question, finds his thread turned into one big joke by the usual suspects whose main aim in life seems to be to prove how witty they are.As has been said, Chatterbox is the place for those who want to show their penchant for comedy (me included) but when someone asks a sensible question, he deserves sensible answers.Edited to say - of 28 posts so far in this thread, only 11 are serious ones about the topic in hand. 17 are attempts at humour or about the humour.

Most unlikely, the only explanation is that some foreign ISP's may allow connection through a 3rd party mail server, certainly does not apply in the UK.

johngee Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 hymer1942 - 2009-10-11 12:56 PM I have a Fujitsu/Siemens laptop. I have heard some talk about a device/ areial which can increase the range for hotspots, can anyone tell me what I need to buy. I have been researching this & if I decided to get one, then I'd probably go for something like this: http://www.faculty-x.net/su2410-usb.htm My criteria would be: USB connection to laptop Decent range Directional - more of a pain to set up, but maybe more efficient than omni directional, as per TV aeriels? Not too cumbersome I've been looking for a 'real world' motorhomer's review, but haven't found one yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
