We are back!! :) Though we shouldn’t be :?
We officially don’t have any broadband until tomorrow – I just plugged in to ‘test’ it and viola!!
WOOT!!!

Usual BT rant
Oh the joys of the behemoth that is BT…
I called BT well in advance to get the telephones transferred to the new house with minimal fuss (gave them OVER 1 week notice AND called the Monday and the day before our move to confirm)
Guess what? they screwed it up :!
Typical
Started off being polite…
11:00 – BT – “Be on by 12:00″ :|
13:45 – BT – “Be completed by 14:00, if not on by 14:15 call this number…” :|
14:30 – BT – “The engineers say it’ll be on by 16:00″ – I’m starting to get a little unhappy
17:30 – BT – “Engineers say will be on this evening” – Now I’m getting angry and get promised that a manager will ring me back within 30 minutes; A call I’m still waiting for…
19:00 – still nothing
Sat 10:00 – BT – “Bad news I’m afraid – Engineering works to be done today etc, etc…” – Now I’m mad, being lied to tends to get my goat, especially when expectations have been set.
Finally get my phone line at 14:15 Saturday afternoon – only 36 later than promised – grrr

Still, it could be worse
Tor hasn’t popped yet and we are moving office at the end of next month, so we get to look forward to all this (on a much smaller scale) again! :?
