"Doomed, doomed!"
Is this why no engineer has been sent to plug my back-up ADSL modem into the wall? They needed to wet the ink on a new contract?
Seriously I've had an ADSL filter in my office for about 4 months (maybe longer). An ADSL modem sitting in it's box for nearly as long and the line was finally put in about 2 months ago. I got all the pieces just no one to plug it all in!
same here don't know what they are playing at.
dear me, £40m sterling seems a hell of lot money to the British Telecom!!!, can't understand it. They are are not that great when it comes to infrastructure, really they are not.Quote:

Isn't the £40m to do with the low water table and they have to run waterproof cables everywhere for when this happens?
bt's underground cable is sealed anyway
Indeed they were. We had a choice of BT or nothing.Quote:

It'd be nice if they would hurry up a bit some they can find out there isnt enough cable to plug it in with and send me some of that, but I suppose thats next years job!
Would be nice if they'd come sort our back up router out as well...
Then again it'd also be really nice if Norfolk lifted the 10MB cap off our internet connection. It was a 10MB connection before but it's now slower than ever!
