Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
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 ...
Yes, so the activation date for my ADSL, the ADSL I ordered on 06/07, didn't end up being within 48 hours as I was promised. No, it was a week, scheduled for Monday 08/08. It is now 22:40 on Tuesday 09/08, and, no, you guessed it, still no ADSL. Woo.
Seriously, what are BT playing at? I've been waiting for my ADSL line for over a month, and it's all their fault. They are so completely incompetent, the only way they haven't gone under is just because they are our only option ...
So, this morning I woke up early and took Leela off to her first day of work over at the hospital. I then returned home at about 8.30, and rang BT straight away to sort out my ADSL. There was no queue, I got straight through to an advisor, and they instantly knew what my problem was and resolved it to my satisfaction within 5 minutes.
Ok, seriously though, when I got back from dropping Leela off, I did ring BT, and I did get straight through to an advisor. But then it was 8.30, who the hell ...
Ok, so on 03/07 I contacted BT to say that I was taking over the tenancy of my flat, would they please connect the phone line, which had been disconnected by the landlord a few days before. They said yes, that would be lovely, activated it on 04/07 and then sent us a bill on 06/07. Bless.
So, on 06/07, satisfied that the line was now working and that it was in my name, I went ahead and ordered ADSL. I recieved an email on 13/07 saying that BT had now activated adsl on my ...
You may be wondering why I have not updated my diary in weeks. Well, I have been busy. In particular, I have been driving. A lot. Over 1600 miles, in fact.
As I said in an earlier entry, I am moving to Cornwall with Leela, and we rented a flat that is the perfect size and in the perfect place, but unfortunately it came unfurnished. All we had were the carpets and curtains. Seeing as I'm moving out of my other two homes (Sevenoaks and Bath), it seemed to make sense to bring things from those. Just two little ...
