Got broadband - or rather not. My internet provider cancelled my existing account and set up broadband and I can't yet access it!!! So I have no access at all at present on my own machine. This is very cheesing. Hopefully I'll sort it out on Monday, when I can get access to help.
Pooh!

Now back on-line, but no broadband. Apparently my computer has no driver for the modem the ISP supplied, so it's going to have to go back, and I'm on pay-as-go rather than the 24 hour all-in contract I had before. Hah!

Reminds me of school.
Our geography master had the face and temperament of Alan Rickman's Snape (Harry Potter). My friend and I were playing the ass in his lesson about buildings, so got called up to explain ourselves.
I was quaking like a leaf, but quick as a flash, my friend said: "My Dad had the Cavity Wall people 'round to quote us for insulation. Only when he inspected it, he said 'you haven't got cavity walls mate' and left".

What type of walls your friend's house had? Stone?
The upshot of my broadband story is that I shall have to wait for them to sort me out with a router and I will have to return the Alcatel modem for a refund. It's always a nuisance returning stuff - it means a trip to the post office and a long wait usually. :
Still, when it's set up, it should be really good!
