More on BT

Thursday, 5th July 2007

It gets better (well, worse, actually). My phone line went live today so, as I was told to do, I called BT to order broadband, accepting that it would be a minimum five day wait.

Yeah, right. Apparently my phone actually working, and my making a call to BT on it, are irrelevant. It takes 72 hours for the phone to be accepted as working by BT. And only then can I even start ordering broadband. So we're talking 8 working days - minimum - before BT can supply a basic part of its so-called service.

Anyone know any good dial-up services, which don't infect your pc with porn etc?
