Zen Internet Support Forum

When you goto bed, turn off your router overnight and it will stop, it should stop once the pc is turned off and the router being turned off also, but it may take a while, but I am sure once you goto bed and turn everything off it will probably be ok by the time you waken up, if not then you sir are *** out of luck.

unless you have something on your pc  that is initiating the connection itself like some sort of program thats set to auto connect to the stream, which in that case you will then have to hunt the culprit piece of software down on your pc.

Herd = numerous farm animals grouped together, usually cattle.

Heard = hearing noise, music, etc etc with your Ears.

I think thats the reason you have'nt "Herd" from Zen yet is as it is very unlikely they will send a *** load of cows around to your house, as we all know, cows/cattle cant use telephones so they must make home visits instead

No hard feelings dude, its all in good fun ;)

Hello hagrid,

I have to say I'm really really NOT at all surprised at your experience with the BBC streaming service. There are very few organizations even in the media industry that can throw that much public money at internet or internet related services. Which in reality makes it an unfair or not level playing field, I feel the BBC have an unfair advantage in the way they now market themselves. The BBC spend millions & millions of £ from the so called license fee (BBC poll tax if you ask me) on its website etc.

**I'm utterly sick to death of the BBC's brain washing of  "go to our website at BBC.co.uk" in every single program on the TV and on every single radio program I listen too, frankly it just makes me ever more determined NEVER EVER to use the BBC DAMM website (F**** Off with your bloodly website, anyone would think the BBC invented the internet the way they constantly drone on !! Sorry!! I hand't intended this to become a RANT but it clearly has. Apologies !! GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!). its just one of those things that really bugs me and set's me off, I go and calm down now. Phew!! :-))

I think the BBC have done a great job it showing that we need a better internet infrastructure and bandwidth.

Lets hope the politicians are listening.

They even use file sharing software.

I agree.

 Personally I find the iPlayer useful if I have missed a TV programme!

 By the way, I don't think that the BBC can do anymore than they do already as they spread out the bandwidth load as much as possible (see screenshot below)

Notice how the BBC iPlayer (in red) tries to avoid overloading my bandwidth which is in stark contrast to YouTube which doesn't do such a good job (in blue)

Well when I got home I found out that somone from Zen had rung in the middle of the afternoon and had been told when I would be home from work.

Soon after I arrived home I was called by Ammiel from tech. support and a course of action was agreed.

I have just heard from Ammiel again and now all is OK again and I will be able to re-connect my router and continue as normal by the time I arrive home.

Many thanks to Ammiel for everything that he has done.
