Communications
While we haven't found the modem cables yet - and switching our broadband could take a couple of weeks we thought we had a telephone.
We were wrong, about 3 pm yesterday we discovered a mysterious, rusty, cable connector block spliced into the telephone cable on the outside wall. On re-entering the house we found the phone line was now dead. After battling with BT's automated 'customer service' system we got a promise of a service engineer for Friday. But he arrived this morning, Yes! He was willing to shorten the line and emplace a new master socket where it was far more convenient for us.
Sometimes things work out for the best.
