Orange broadband

PPP should be refering to PPPOE (or point to point protocal over ethernet). PPPOE is the method that a DSL modem logs into an ISP. So essentially their log in server is down, and since your modem is unable to connect to their login server you cannot get online.

This sounds like a problem entirely on their end, and unfortunately you're pretty much at their mercy in regards to when it gets fixed.

My only suggestions other than just waiting it out is look into another ISP or purchase a wireless card and a large antenna and see if you can pick up an open network close to your location. The later option is entirely based on you lucking out and picking up a connection close by though, it's possible nobody near you is sharing an open wireless connection.

Hello,

I'm having the same problems too. The CS and TS are just ridiculous. There are a couple of possible solutions at

I'm going to try them later this eve. I'm going to buy a modem and see if this magically fixes the problem and am going to try changing the settings on the configuration pages.

Hopefully it will work for both of us!

I've spent the weekend reading so many bad reviews for Orange broadband, it's quite unbelievable.

Regards
