I had a nightmare with my previous provider who cut me off for no reason at all, then told me I'd have to wait a month to be reinstated. I told them I was going elsewhere. At the end of the month, when I expected my new ISP to kick in, it couldn't - because the old one was still connected. They'd forgotten to send through the disconnect notice. "It'll just take another 28 days." Idiots. <em>Rol's last blog post..<a href='http://rolhirst.blogspot.com/2008/01/men-and-machines.html' rel="nofollow">Men And Machines</a></em> Most ISPs tend to adopt an “it ain’t me, guv” attitude to problem solving.

I’m 99% convinced this issue is a problem with either the telephone line or their service, but they just keep going through the same old script (re-install your drivers blah blah blah). I’ve just decided to try and go with another isp, although I’m under no illusions that there level of customer service will be any better. Kathy – I’ve never heard of St. Isodore. I’d google them but I don’t have any web access. Damn their eyes. You may ask if I don’t have any web access how is it that I’m responding to your comment. But if I told you I’d have to kill you. CamiKaos – * crackle * Gary – We keep coal in the bath as well you know. Avitable – You’re just touting for more Turkish Delight. Phil - I have to be honest with you, I have no idea who Thomas Dolby is. I’d google them but …yadda yadda yadda. Joe – I get up in the morning, turn on the computer to check my emails and then wail in despair when I remember I have no access. I’m like a smoker who has just quit, I can’t find anything to do with my hands. Arjan – Worst pain there is. Whit – Who are you again? Jeff – I ort to charge you for advertising space. Zoe’s Dad – I’ll send you a handset in the post and we can give it a go. Oli – I don’t know. I’ve been planning a week of posts based around your eloquent descriptions of the lock gates.

Or maybe we just didn't have anything worthwhile to say to each other over the airwaves, as we were a mere 20metres apart. I resorted to describing lock gates for goodness sake!
