Upgrading

It may seem a little bit odd, in light of what I was saying earlier in the week about our decision to move before the end of this year, but at the moment we’re also moving over our phone line from NT-Hell to BT. Now yes, I know BT have their problems too – but it always worries me that actually, despite all that, BT are still the best of the bunch when it comes to phone lines and so on.

In fact, the phone line installation and activation happened on Monday, and went without a hitch. Actually, there was annoyance, but that was down to lack of communication. Turns out, they don’t actually need to visit the house in order to get everything switched on. Except they didn’t tell us that ’til the Saturday before – you know, when I’d already booked the time off from work, and too late for me to change it. Which pissed me off, but hey, what can you do?

Still, it all got activated fine, so we’ve now got a working BT line, and notice will be given to NTL on Monday, to tell them to piss off. I can’t wait.

And now we’ve ordered the new ADSL connection too. 8Mbs. Lovely. That’s going in on the 3rd July. So we’ll see how that goes too. Yay.
