I’m on a train from Birmingham to Edinburgh trying to use my 3G wireless dongle to browse the internet and check my emails.
I’m not having much success.
The train is moving fast so I am going through areas of good coverage, poor coverage and no coverage.
This makes the connection unreliable and so far I have had to restart my computer 3 x times because the 3G application has locked up.
One of my customers called the other day to say their internet wasn’t working.
I talked them through various diagnostics over the phone and it became clear that although the internet connection was synchronising there was a problem authenticating the customer.
To confirm the fault I went to the customer premises with a spare modem/router just in case it was an equipment fault.
