Weeeeee the joy of going on holiday? Coming back to find a working broadband line! Credit to talk talk, they have had some seriously bad press lately what with their free broadband offer being swamped and scare stories of people waiting 2-3 months for connection.
they told me mid november when I ordered. I could live with that (just) but I didnt see why it couldnt be done faster. Then I read the scare stories. I thought, at least they are being honest.
The lights where flashing on my router last week, but alas I had no details. Although it looked like it was the old aol connection that used to be here, as my router told me it was a 1mb line and I had ordered the 8Mb product.
I got a letter this morning with the username and password, so I hooked up the router again, this time it reported a 2mb connection. Hmm,,,, wheres my 8mb!? Anyway... Punched in the details but it didnt work
Had another try this evening, and BOOM, working! Looks like I had left some of the old pipex settings in there from the last time I had used it. Way fking hey. At last something goes right.
