Wherever the line is, we're still off it.

Following my previous jubilant post I can now report that we had internet access for a total of 3.5 hours before it disappeared again.

Currently logging on at local library with cold feet (literally - I have not just hired a dvd copy of a 90s tv series) and a mouse which is attached to the right hand side of the desk when I am LEFT HANDED.

How glad am I that I did NOT kiss the BT man when I mistakenly thought our broadband problems had been resolved. I would feel so cheap now!

Anyway... engineer no.3 believes it's our router so we await a new one, without any real conviction that the diagnosis is correct.

7 minutes left on my library log-in.

I wrote some rude words then, but was forced to delete them as I feared an alarm may sound on the library network and I would be bodily hoisted from this cr*ppy desk by a middle-aged librarian. But enough of my private fantasies.

5 minutes left.

Nightmare. Just so you know, my entirely free unlimited wireless download nicked from the shop downstairs is still working just fine.

When I got my broadband with Virgin I too went through the two router route only to find that there was nothing the matter with the first one and that the real problem was with Virgin's so called support line being manned by a bunch of tossers.
It took me three long phone calls to the aforementioned tossers before I was able (after a little on-line research) to sort it myself.

It behoves me to say that had you have lived in a more sensible part of the country, ie. 'Dahn Sarf', you'd find warm Libraries and multi functional ambidextrous mice.

Still, must free up some time for scribbling?

  You tried to get service from a virgin but just ended up with a bunch of tossers and finally had to sort it yourself? For some reason I fail to be surprised by your tale of woe.
  
  Had no time for scribbling as been too busy queueing for a pc down the local library when I could have been at home wiv me left 'anded mouse (mahse?) (as you would say dahn sarf) and me Asda slippers on.

    Oh Sixey you little Enfant Terrible, not a virgin, Virgin, though I must express surprise that virgins exist at all. I've never come across one............. a-hem.

Ultimate pain in the harris! I can imagine how screwy I'd get without the net, I sympathise completely on the whole mouse issue too, drives me nuts using OH's computer.

Hang in there!
