He will do about the connectivity end of things, given you wouldn't know how to fix a low receive power level if it came up and bit you in the arse

Please tell me it's seriously called a "V-Box" that would make my day.

Well considering what happened when he did turn up last Friday (change modem, reconnect, ask me to navigate to google to test the speed.... Erm.... WTF?) then I believe I won that round

Anyway... The saga continues...

After numptyboy last Friday Jarp organised for another engineer to come out today (betwixt 4pm and 7pm) and actually look at the power receive level (which is the problem).

Due to fork ups at Jarp's office then he can't get home in time so I opt to leave early to be home to greet the engineer. I have a sheet of instructions from Jarp and have the shotgun tastefully slung across my back...

Five to four and the phone rings.

****ing ****s

Allegedly it's a problem with the 20meg service in the entire E10/E11 area (only the 20meg service?

) which is being looked into and will be fixed in the next seven to ten days.

Bull****

When I mentioned that the service had been crap since we upgraded he backtracked saying:

SidewinderINC · 17-12-2007, 23:17

Same thread on SPS too

Yup - nationwide outage. Nice. Should be OK now though.

Haly · 17-12-2007, 23:21

'nuff said. Looks like the whole lot collapsed - VOD, phone, broadband, etc. Seems to have been bad around these parts.

TV didn't here which was the main thing for me at the time
