    I would honestly go insane

    What about tethering 3G via your smart phone?

      Already done and bought a 3G dongle as a backup. At least I can sort of work.

      I started a contract with the new ClientCo the day I lost the connection and they are less than impressed to say the least. Working from home has its advantages but BT do their best to fck it up.

        I wondered why your posting quality had increased.

        You know what they say about assumptions!

            Oh, another thought is sitting in Starbucks all day, they should have a normal broadband connection.

            May not be too good for conf calls tho

                  You might remember my rant about BT a few days ago. I went mental over the outage I had - 5 days without internet was seriously getting me wound me.

                  What got to me more was having to speak to their offshore call centre, whom I called every day, each time having to run through the damned script. One of the guys there asked me if I saw the "blue power light on" - to which I replied Yes - to which he then responding by asking if the plug was in the power socket

                  Anyway, the only reason it got solved (after 5 days) is that I kept chasing and also complained in writing through their website. These complaints got me a response from the UK technical support teams, and they explained a lot better and faster and had the capability to help sort it out.

                  All it needed was a reboot of something or other at the exchange. Getting someone to do it was the hard bit.
