Are
you saying the problem is with getting into the SMTP server at BT for
sending
e-mails rather than getting the connection to the internet
itself?
If so,
I nave noticed the same problem, although I only use BT at work so I am not
sure
whether it happens at 10 PM.
It
seems that their SMTP server gets very busy at times. I haven't analysed
exactly
what is happening but I would hazard a guess that the poor thing is
just
overloaded. It would be interesting to see if any ADSL users have seen this
problem because, of course, they may be using the same server - in which
case
I'd bet the problem is the same.
I'm
afraid there's not much you can do about it if you can't talk to someone
with
enough nouse to know it's not a connection problem...
If you
do want to go to another ISP you could of course send mail using their SMTP
server and pick it up from BT's POP3 server but it's a bit of a waste to
keep
the BT account going just to keep the e-mail address.
