I am writing for permisson for leave, as I am moving home tomorrow and british telecom are that busy they cannot connect my line for 3 weeks! That seems excessive to me? Anyway I've called and called and the last person said - hmmm thats funny your line is ringing, so maybe you won't need an engineer? ..... I've not checked yet as this is my last night in this house. Which reminds me BT should have disconnected this line at 10pm, how am I on line? LOL

Anyway if I'm not around I will be soon, with more tales no doubt of the dreaded mesh!  

cheerio  :wink:

Good luck Michelle.

When I moved here in 1998, I rang BT from the phone in the house and asked them to change it to my name.
They said that there wasnt a line at my address and that it was probably an extension from the house next door.
I said well I am ringing you on it and it didnt appear to be an extension as the houses either side had a different number  :roll:

I had the same problem with the gas too as no one knew who the supplier was.
I was told to ring Transco as they own the pipe that the gas companies use and they would know who the supplier was.
They said that I wasnt connected to their pipe but they didnt know anyone else who could have gas piped to my house  :shock:

Eventually it was all sorted out when they realised that they had my house number wrong and had added 10 to it for both the phone and the gas  :?

Hope when you come back everything with Mesh has been sorted and you have a nice new BB connection.

Happy New House. :D

All moved, BT Line in, But no BB yet, could take 10 days?  Ah well at least by the time Broadband is ready I should have a new computer!

Yes ........ Mesh has agreed the poxy thing has a faulty hard drive, and once they receive the software back (sent yesterday via recorded delivery) they will put the money in my account, they say I will have it by end of week/beginning of next week.  I won't hold my breath but I'm just pleased I didn't have to take them to court.

At work now, so I'd best get off this puter and get back home and unpack some more boxes!

Hope you are all well

You just missed an Aldi special last thursday Michelle  :(

There may be one left somewhere if you ring around, 3.2 ghz P4 with everything you would need for £499, leaves you with plenty of left over cash from the Mesh price to get whichever monitor you fancy  :)

Welcome back, Michelle!  :D  I will be doing what you're doing in a couple of weeks, and will also be bereft of broadband for about 10 days.  :(

Welcome back, Michelle.  :D

As "The A Team" would say "I love it when a plan comes together".


Pity you missed that offer from Aldi, it was a bargain.

Hey I'm offically back now, That was a quick ten days wasn't it.

You moving too Simon, oh its a nightmare lol - start packing now. I still have a few boxes to unpack but most is done now.

I spoke to Mesh Wednesday/Thursday and friday, just keeping up behind them, they are so crap, first my refund was approved by the guy I sent my CDs too, then the manager had to approve it, then it goes to accounts and then it takes 48hrs, accounts have it now.

I will have to have a ring around on monday then, see if I can find an Aldi spare.

If not I'm down to PC World, at least they are just down the road if there is a problem lol
