Wooo Hooo!!! It works – Waterloo Farm can get ADSL Broadband!! What a huge relief, but what a nightmare and trauma it has been to get it, I think I have aged 10 years in the process! There is too much to write in full, but a short summary follows: (more…)
Arrrgghhh…I called the ISP back this morning at the allocated time for an update on the DACS removal – to say I was anxious was a bit of an understatement, though the tension was a waste of time. The update was that there was ‘no update’ only that the DACS removal would now not even be reviewed until August 8th, which is another TEN DAYS!!! (more…)
I have some good news and some bad news! Good news, the phone line has been activated and Broadband has been ordered. The bad news, the line has got DACS on it and the provision of Broadband will be delayed, and may yet still not be available at all. (more…)
This has been such a frustrating week and we have made what feels like hardly any progress. Having ordered a new BT phone line last Friday to try and resolve the Broadband issue, I received a text message on Wednesday this week to say that the line will be activated next Monday, 21st July. This feels like an absolute age to have to wait and will be 10 days after placing the initial order. It’s so frustrating. At the moment, it’s not actually holding the transaction up as the solicitors are still plugging away with the various conveyancing tasks that need to be done, but there may well come a time when the thing that is holding us up is this wretched Broadband, and then Mr P would no doubt start to get quite cross about the length of time it is all taking. Let’s hope we don’t get to that point shall we?
On the plus side, it’s almost the end of term 
OK, looks like we might have an answer to the lack of Broadband – Satellite! Basically you can get it anywhere that you can see the sky – even in Norfolk! So panic over, what a relief. That was a pretty miserable weekend I can tell you. So we are still ‘game on’!
