OT: PC blues

Well, it's depressing when your telecommunications provider is one of the
most high-tech, innovative and prestigious in the world and they cant get
your landline fixed up for 3 weeks after you move into a new abode.
Gits!
Having to use friend's machines is sooooo degrading!

I'm guessing that you use BT internet then. NTL, Wannado and a whole load of
others are better :)

Updates!!! Two days before engineer came to connect my landline, I had a
phone call from BT saying they are having problems getting a connection for
me and it's going to take a further FOUR WEEKS! - so..... considering there
was a working phone line there before, with broadband enabled, I now have to
wait a total of SEVEN weeks for a working line - does that make sense,
considering how technologically superb BT are supposed to be??

How does one cope without a telephone and internet? Now I know how Cov
feels :((((

What happened was this.

Some honch in a cushy office on Earth says "Go look at broadband for a grid
reference." I go look. I don't ask why. I don't ask why because it takes
seven weeks to reconnect to broadband out here and the answer's always
"Don't ask".

HTH.

They sent you out there and they didn't even warn you. They are responsible
for the death of your broadband connection....
