I have arrived home to find I have no internet, apparently a car crashed into a pole down the road and it's taken out the phone lines.



And before anyone asks, I am using the mifi

Come on guys give FC a break. I know I would be raging not having Internet access. Thankfully it was not my C6. It will take BT weeks to get the pole in.

The mifi is faster than the home broadband, but I actually need it for work. I will be asking the neighbours if they are disconnected as well tomorrow. Being out in the sticks does have disadvantages

FC John I couldn't reveal that but I offer you my sympathy that you don't have internet access but obviously you must be using your tablet or iPad with a sim. You are probably out in the Motorhome using MiFi. If you are make sure you have the heat on as I would not want you to get the blessed dose I had.

Well FC if you don't mind me saying you are operating quite slick without the internet. I'm beginning to wonder why you need to pay for an internet service at all?

Received an email from bt, you will love this - dear mr FC, sorry to hear you have a problem with your service, I have tried calling you to discuss the problem but did not get through. We will have an engineer out to check the equipment on the 16th and hopefully resolve the situation.


Tried calling! Could not get an answer! No sh*t Sherlock the pole is in the field, told you that in the report fault.


Do customer service people not read what is sent to them?


Sorry for the rant first thing.

The pole is down about half a mile from my house and there are quite a few houses, farms and businesses which are bound to be suffering with this, so why is it going to take so long. The answer, because they can.

Cost me nothing, had the mifi preloaded from when I bought it, just glad to have it back now as people had been ringing the house and thought we were not in.




That has its advantages :lol:
