Is anyone else having problems logging on to BT Broadband this evening?

Sparkologist · 29-11-2004, 18:35

Nope. I got straight on, no problems.

In the words of Oates, "I'm just stepping outside. I may be a while."
I will log off, then sign on again, just out of curiosity.

Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not, Not telling you!

Acrylic-bob · 29-11-2004, 18:39

Oh I see, I have to pay for information now, do I, Less?

Doug · 29-11-2004, 18:39

None at all A-B but please take into account that I'm in Blackpool......

Sparkologist · 29-11-2004, 18:42

I'm back, A.B.

I haven't experienced any problems logging on to BT Broadband tonight. But It can be a temperamental swine at times.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been having an intermittent problem. The modem for reasons best known to itself will drop the line and then claim that it cannot find a dialling tone. Since five thirty this evening I have managed to log on in three to four minute bursts. Needless to say you cannot get hold of BT-Yahoo helpdesk to report the fault. "Your call is really important to us" yeah, Right!

Doug, according to BT your dialing code 01253 is one they are having problems with this evening.

Not in the slightest, normally I would help, but the last time some-one asked for help, I & a few others were accused of being a little symplistic with our answers, so rather than give that person a chance of another dig (yes, Dig not Doug), I won't try to be helpful anymore!

Acrylic-bob · 29-11-2004, 18:45

Thanks for that Sparkologist, I was begining to think that it was something I was doing wrong.

Nope, no problems with mine A-B. That is our dialing code, but I've been happily logging on and off all day and I currently have 3 windows open on the net and downloading info from the department of Health with no problems.........up to now, famous last words and all that.

As I have already stated, I do not wish to help, but 2 weeks (or was it a fortnight ago?), I had a similar prob, ran BT'S fault finder thingy prog' it gave me a list of results ending with ring our premium rate site. The fool that I am I rang 50p per min 10 mins later you will have to ring microsoft. Microsoft yes we know the problem, can we have your credit card details, why? (I stupidly asked ) because before I answer we have to charge you £45 + V.A.T.
I declined re-installed bt's broadband disk have had no problem since!

Who's this "Dig" bloke then, taking all my flak is he

........Well i'm not having that...

I protest Mr Less I've never been symplistic nor have I accused anyone of being so.

I do not appologise, but I have re read your thread and I can see that I have read it all wrong. Mr Less don't be mean, answer this kind gentleman and help him out and take no notice of those with too much time on there hands .....
