Broadband......
Dear Friends,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTAL BROADBAND WITHOUT A LIFE ASSURANCE POLICY......!!
After a week of blow ups and blow outs, this was definitely NOT one of my better ideas, can I tell you? I have no idea why my email has suddenly begun to work again now. I've connected all the broadband stuff but only finally able to get online now via my old original Tiscali line. Something is seriously wrong here because this wasn't working before, either. I have no idea why it is now working again......It looks like I'm operating broadband on the old site, which actually impossible, but there you are.....! I don't know how long it will last.
Just for the record - and something that the instructions do not mention, is when you connect to Broadband, you have to install a 'filter' on to every telephone line in your house. I found this small detail out today when I rang the Tiscali Broadband Help Line. Oh great! Well, thanks a lot for that information!
The only way I've been able to get back on line this morning is to chuck the fax machine out of the window and disable the 'panic system' to the local authority, which I will have to reinstate as soon as I get offline here. The rest is a mystery still.... My office now resembles a room where a mad women's knitting group has run amok....!!
At this stage, I should really apologise to the AS and TP Members for the severe embarrassment of the recent editorial headlines. Also to the Maintenance Team here, who will have to replace the radiator and other mechanical devices that have imploded and exploded during the last week's debacle. I think we have probably be struck off the 'model tenants' register' forever.
The Police have finally left. A medical crew was on 48 hour standby to convey the afflicted to hospital to have their stomachs pumped out. I've consigned the sandwich making machine to the dustbin. A detective has been taken into protective custody after refusing to relinquish several pairs of silk stockings and various items of lace underwear. I've also manged to convince the RSPCA that I didn't electrocute the cat on purpose, which was my main worry really.
The whole scene has been one big mistake really...!
I expect that Nada will be sending me a stern note on the duties of Hosts to 'moderate' rather than 'infuriate'. I shall grovel....!
