Re: Home/Business Highway foible....



Okay, official line is now that this is not a normal condition..

It seems I have undertaken a conversion from HH to BH, and lost my phone
service for three dyas because some idiot on the home highway helpdesk was
happy to make this crap up in order to get rid of me, rather than have to
find out what was (and is) actually wrong with my line.

I can't stress how disgusted I am with BT right now, although, it has to be
said, that this is always my experience of dealing with them.. *sigh*

Ian.
