Well folks. My joyful internet surfing days have come to an end at the worst time. My modem/router will not switch on anymore (even though once a little flicker of light came from the ethernet area when I switched it on). I will try again tomorrow, but I really can't afford to pay £50 for a new box (and wait a week) or send it back (and wait 4 weeks....). I am on my expensive pay and surf vodafone usb, so I can't view videos and it charges me by the second (and blocks a lot of sites). It is terribly unreliable too, as we are not in a good 3G area. £15 for 1GB....not good for me. I hope my modem is just being temperamental and it switches on tomorrow....otherwise I'm doomed.

Edit: I've ordered a new router. Should be here in 3-5 days. It cost £62, but it is because my ISP requires certain settings so I had to find one of these elusive routers! I could have got the £32 one, but I'd rather pay more and get a better quality internet connection than suffer with a poor one. :) My ISP requires a security key only (WPA2-PSK), it doesn't have a sign-in page like my old ISP.
