I've not had any access to the net since tuesday past, as my line died and wouldn't let me check either the net, my email or messenger. In fact, no program was allowed access to the net, even though I was showing an active adsl line on my router.
So I phoned my ISP, and they ran me round in circles, trying to pass the blame onto Microsoft and then to BT. I explained that I had run through all the usual things, (resetting my router, resetting the PC, turning off my firewalls..) but yet the call centre lad still made me run through all the pish again.. When he set I had to re-install my broadband connection I explained that I had done this already twice, yet he still insisted. So I asked to speak to a supervisor.
I then get some lad telling me that as my error code was 721, I needed to call Microsoft and speak to them about it, as it had nothing to do with them. So I called Microsoft and they denied all liability. (Surprise Surprise).
Anywho, I call again yesterday and explain everything I've done already, yet she still expects me to run through it all again as it's all she can recommend. So, I tell her that I'll leave it overnight, call again today and if I can't get it sorted I'll be cancelling my subscription to wanadoo.
So I call today, and after I give my username and password to the lad on the phone, I'm instantly transferred to a supervisor who explains that it's probably a problem at their end, (FINALLY!) and that they may have inadvertantly messed up my IP details.
So I hang up, go and run some code to reset my IP details, and voila', I'm back online..
Rant over.
Cheers feebee & Helen, ye wee pair o' crackers..
