Back asap
So sorry for the absence of posts. BT now tell me if will take 3 weeks to get us up and running.

The problem apparently lies with AOL - the previous chap at the house we've moved into was - how can I put it? - not their favourite customer, and so they put a block on broadband provision here. And their attitude towards unblocking it is a variation on 'sod you'.
So I'm afraid that even if I get started with dial-up, posting here will be very light for the next couple of weeks.
Apologies.

July 6th, 2007 7:15pmSounds like absolute cobblers to me. How could AOL put a block on a line managed and owned by BT? You are being given the run around. BT marketing must work on the weekend: sweat them.

July 8th, 2007 7:50am1. Dump BT and get a competitive provider. 2. Publish an article -- not a blog post but an article in a national paper or magazine -- about it.

July 10th, 2007 11:44amNow AOL (if it be they) are jebazzering Clive too. Can't the Speccie sort you all out with a decent provider. (Zen). Is the Speccie tech dept really this inept?
