And the internet is still dead.
We are now into our fourth week of complete switch off, and over three months of intermittent connection.
I hear you say why not change ISP, but unfortunately it appears that the problem is more likely to do with the line, therefore we are awaiting BT.
How much longer?!!!! I am going mad.
It interests me that it causes me such issues. For a while I beat myself up that I couldn't cope without the internet. I can cope, just I've used the internet as a good way of winding down and destressing - maybe I need to find an alternative.
On the internet I run my website, moderator two discussion forums, keep up with my college work through WebCT, research my dissertation, keep in touch with people, randomly search in google my random ponderings. There's so much to do!
I do miss it.
I'd really like it back. I guess what troubles me most is the frustration of not being able to solve the problem. Surely it's just one switch that needs flicking or one wire that needs reconnecting? Why can't they figure it out? Why do they have to keep passing the buck when the only one that suffers is me (and my housemates)?
Sigh

Hi
Have you rang 150 and asked for a line test.
If they do this then they should be able to see what is wrong.
If they believe there is a fault on the line then they should give you a fix date for completion - meanwhile if you paying BT (and not another company) for Broadband ask them for a refund for the loss of your broadband account. (If your with another company you could ask but they won't give it if its not their responsibility).
If you have no joy in getting fix dates and your line is paid and serviced by BT - drop me a note on my blog on the latest post and / or email me with your customer number and I will chase (I work for BT on the management of Fault Repair systems).
