Kept trying for 20mins, decided to be patient and just try again the next day…

    “Damn and blast British Telecom,” shouted Dirk, the words coming easily from force of habit.

    -Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, 1987

    I’m glad BT is still keeping the tradition of being absolutely rubbish alive.

      Their uptime and customer service better be bang on because £75 for 1Gbps/115Mbps with a 1TB cap is expensive.

      Zen, in contrast, offer more for less and were great when it came to leaving too.

        £10 more for no cap by the looks of it, & I have been recommended a&a by a mate before, but I’ve used Zen at multiple addresses in the past & they have always been fantastic both in service & their support (but it’s been a couple of years now, hopefully they are still as good).

        If there’s a 1TB cap, I don’t even understand the point of needing a 1Gbps connection. I assume their market is just people that want to say they have a 1Gbps connection, but all they do is stream or play the odd game.

      I simply cannot support this LGHDTV++ mania the world seems to have.

      Not when much better TVs are available on the market.

      With an incongruous guest appearance by Q.

      Whether the trickster god from Star Trek or the gadget supplier from the James Bond series would depend on their preference as well as availability.

    Side note: I am angry I can’t log in to my cbc gem account without adding my age and postal code.

    It asks for gender but you can put “prefer not to say”.

    Birthday and postal code are not skippable though.

      There’s no laws to say it has to be your birthday or postal code.
