h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

On Wednesday of this week, I am changing my broadband service provider. Having been assured of a smooth changeover, I am immediately certain that there will be problems!

So! If I am not around for a while you will all know why

You'll need it!

Envious, though... stuck here in Hull, we've no option but Karoo, which isn't very competitive. All the other providers have the small print "Requires a BT line" - we don't have one!

, scorp. The husband recently made changes to our contract, so we could suffer a similar fate once it comes into eefect - which should be on 10th March.

Eek! That's a Post week!!

True, but it's the Beeblecast next time, so I guess I could have finished everything before then?

Good luck with the switchover!

Did you manage to export your addressbook in the end?

Oh, we'll be done by then, easily. Sorry, scorp, I'm derailing your thread here

Scorp. I am sure that it will all be okay.

Our internet provider has been very quick and efficient in sorting out any problems we have had in the past. They are all getting better now, probably because there is a lot of competition about (if you have a phone line ).

Hope everything goes well.

Thanks all.

Icy! Yes thanks, I just used prtscn and copied it all into Word - just in case.

Rich! You can comandeer my threads anytime mate.

Scorp, I got broadband (first time) everything went like clockwork, but I hear changing can be a bit of a trial, but I am sure it will be ok.

Fingers crossed too,

Changing broadband providers? *shudder*

Hubby keeps threatening to do that... when he isn't threatening to cut the plug off this one!

I managed to change suppliers wth no problem, after the previous one gave up on trying to solve the problem with my line. They (Orange, since you asked! ) blamed everyone but themselves for the problem.

One new broadband supplier later, and everything works just fine.

When the contract comes up I'll probably change it again, as broadband costs have fallen yet again.

just in case Scorp'

Oh Prof! Only you could have come up with that one

who are you switching ISP's to Scorpio ?

I'm going from B* to SK* Prof! If it works as I hope, then it will cost me a fair bit less coin of the realm and I shall get the tv channels as well. I've gone for the 'knowledge' package with things like animal planet, National Geographic etc. Fingers crossed. If it all goes pear shaped I can at least use the local library for a while, so all is not lost.

Hope it all goes well scorp.....

I hope it's a smooth transition loveshould be now, all ISP's were told by H.M.G. to stop all delaying tactics

Who is this "Tactics" person?

And why does he get special treatment?
