My dsl often drops and I have to dial up via 3g.
I have two dsl accounts with separate IS providers.
So the problem sometimes lies with IS and sometimes with the ISP.
Problem is, I don't want to use 3g if the dsl comes back online, as it's expensive.
But, Windows seems to ignore the dsl if I'm connected to 3g.
So the only way I can test if the dsl is back up is to disconnect 3g periodically.
Unfortunately, I'm on 384k dsl, so I don't necessarily notice that I'm still on 3g.
Is there a way to:
1. Prioritise wi-fi/dsl over bluetooth/3g as a connection priority in Windows?
2. Test the wi-fi/dsl connection without having to disconnect from bluetooth/3g?
