(For general home use) is there a hardware device for testing if an ADSL broadband connection is live and if it is up and running okay?
It would save a lot of time when troubleshooting a PC or modem/router when sometimes it’s just a case of the service being down. To be able to test the line first would be so much better than phoning the ISP, which isn’t always an easy option, what with being held in queues or being charged by the minute to wait! How else can I test if a connection is okay before spending time looking for a problem with the computer?
