Broadband

This little device is our gateway at Dumbuck Towers to the World Wide Web.

It delivers ecstasy and frustration in equal measures. In amongst our recent (and ongoing) water woes, we had a problem with our provider not er, providing.

BT. Capital letters that send shivers down the spine of anyone involved in customer service.

I can confidently say that their policy of outsourcing resource in terms of help to contact centres not on these shores is not a good idea.

In the blip you are seeing three blue lights meaning broadband is active. Except it isn't. But the nice girl on some island in an ocean outwith the land we call reality disagrees.

With three teenage lads in the house having no access to t'internet, the atmosphere is tense.

Blimey, they are having to talk to each other.

Bring back the GPO.
