RE: Home Highway Box.....

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

We actually had a visit from a BT engineer this morning who came to check
that our HH install was working properly ... all he did was check that the
two lights were on on the HH box!

Actually he was an OK bloke ... he actually said that what he was doing was
pretty much just a cursory check as there was little that he could do and
that they were having immense reliability problems with HH (not proper
ISDN)
installs at the moment. He said that over 3/4 of his calls were to HH
installs which were throwing up intermittent and seemingly untraceable
errors. (Apparently some guy over in Itchen Abbot - a few miles from us -
had got so irate he'd actually ripped his off the wall and hurled it
through
his window!)
