I Have ADSL!

Yes, it's true, I have ADSL! Sadly it's the one on the line that I've had at home in Sevenoaks for the past 4 years, and not the one I'm trying to get activated here in Cornwall. Yes, despite assurances on the 1st that they'd rush it through in 48 hours, and despite them then saying it would be ready on Monday 8th, it's now 10:40 on Thursday 11th and there's still no sign of it, even after over 7 hours of phone calls. What a joke. Now I have an 8mb file to download this morning - my phone bill is going to be insane.

Oh, and 4 weeks after ordering it, still no sign of the bed either. Of the three things you need in a house (bed, internet and fridge), I only have one. And even then that's only because I drove it 300 miles across the country. Just goes to show - if you want something done properly, you have to do it yourself. Can anyone tell me how to enable ADSL on my line if I can gain access to the exchange? Think I'll go google lock picking now.

Also my copy of Flash on my desktop has gone wrong - every time I load it I'm told that I need a serial number, and I have to type it in. Every time. I don't have that much of a problem with companies putting sensible copy protection on their software, but please, let me use it once I have bought it.

I am slightly lost without the internet. That's quite sad isn't it. Hmm. I think I will go have breakfast now.
