Reconnected finally

I have a big grin from ear to ear as I am writing this.

As you might have guessed, we are finally connected to the net from home. This is the first post I am making using the TalkTalk broadband connection.

The modem and the installation CD came by post today morning. The modem was fairly easy to set up but I was not really keen on setting up a network with wires in the house. It took me a while to figure out but I later realised that I actually didn't need the installation CD to connect to the net after all. All I had to do was reconfigure our old Netgear wireless router with the new user ID and password, which by the way, TalkTalk had already sent over sometime back.

Kick myself on the backside a few time

I will be posting the technical details in my SEO Expert blog.

Haven't checked the speed as yet but it definitely feels much faster than our old AOL broadband connection. Incidentally, both AOL broadband and TalkTalk are part of the Carphone Warehouse Group PLC.
