Bloody hell John... That's nuts...

I must say, once I got all my issues eventually resolved, things were fairly smooth from then on, although I have had a few instances of 7+ days downtime where nobody seems to be in a hurry to sort things out.

They recently upgraded my account to 100mb broadband too, which didn't work for the first month.. I spent just over an hour on the phone to them trying to explain the problem was with my router, not the modem, and they flat out refused that the router was faulty (I wouldn't do port forwarding correctly at all, which was known issue for that router and firmware) so I had to speak to somebody in cancellations, or as they call it "Customer relations", which I have to say, the lady I spoke to was absolutely brilliant... UK staff, and although she did say she was not a technical person, she took the time to listen and understand the faults I explained to her, agreed that the problem sounded like the router and within 48hrs, I had not 1, but 2 new routers arrive :-)

All is now working perfectly, port forwarding all resolved, 100mb working perfectly and, I got to keep them both, so have used the second router as a wifi-booster for the upstairs..

So, despite all the hiccups, I'm still happy with them overall.. Definitely the quickest broadband, and only 2 lots of downtime in the 3+ years I been with them so far, even if they are somewhat slow to resolve issues, but I still don't like the "Off-shore" call centres.

Thanks John...

I hope to see more action here soon too :-)

Know what you mean about meters though, I'm melted a fair few sets of cables on meters just messing about with low voltage DC stuff with my model airplanes and lithium Polymer batteries..

It stops being funny when you short circuit a 150amp battery pack the size of an old nokia phone..

I've just published a book on DIY.
It's blank and comes with a free pen.

Hiya John

Some excellent advice there mate... Nice one...

Seriously though, do people actually really try to test their own live house wiring?

I wouldn't dare touch mine... My knowledge of 230v electricals stops at putting the plug in the socket... Past the socket is past me..
