World HQ.

The sky is blue over Bredonborough. This is most welcome…

Adventures with BT Broadband continue. The message I waited for yesterday, the wait of 4 hours & 20 minutes, was sent to the wrong number. I heard it this morning: there is a problem in the UK & the BT engineers will not be available for an appointment until after 29th. January. This morning I also received an e-mail from BT UK thanking me for my complaint: they will deal with the problem within 2 working days. Someone at BT is lying to me.

15.29 Latest news from the relentless marketing operation that is DGM Live: 7 downloads have recouped!

19.16 A message from BT: broadband is working on my line. They lied.

More calls to BT India. The first available appointment for a BT engineer to visit is January 29th. when I’m with Crafties in Sant Cugat.

Pooey pooey. This is no way to run a business.

Why AOL?:: Posted by BillSabab on January 15, 2007

Just a guess... As a world traveller it is possible to log on to AOL around the globe far easier than any other service provider?

Mr. Bill is historically correct. Originally, on the advice of a more experienced e-person, I was a Compuserve customer. KC were touring Europe regularly & online access was by dial-up. Dialling-up from Europe was, at the time, an adventure on a par with KC touring itself. So, I switched to AOL because Euro dial-up access was more reliable. Wifi access around the world I currently travel is usually straightforward; the exception is BT broadband at home.
