Yep, 01491....so it wasn't just me then! I wonder how many people it affected. My next door neighbour's connection was fine (couldn't ask anyone else as we don't have any other neighbours). Just double checked - our outage was on Wednesday too, not Tuesday.
One of the ...ahem...'technicians' I spoke to at BT was hopeless. Told me to disable my network card, then asked me if I could connect to the intenet about 30 sec later. Told her that she'd just asked me to disable the card but she didn't seem to understand. Also told her I couldn't see what possible good her suggestions were doing as the problem was on the BT side, not the computer. But there you go, pay peanuts....
Thanks Mike Bracknell, will take a squint at that when my brain is more receptive! Are you in Bracknell? How's the Swinley fire fighting going?
