For some months now I have more and more frequently been faced with ‘Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage’, when everything was telling me I was connected. My lovely ISP (Christian and very helpful) have tried everything to find out what is happening and, having exhausted all other possibilities, have arranged for a BT engineer to visit in the next day or two. The suspicion is that the BT lines are not good enough – but whether they will be prepared to do anything about it I very much doubt!
If anyone is experiencing similar problems, it would be very helpful if you would let me know a.s.a.p.
