Frank has been looking around for a better internet provider than effing TalkTalk and it turns out that we have to go back to British Telecom first. All other providers rent the phone lines from BT and if you were with somebody else they apparently cannot switch you over to their network. So much for free competition, this is still a monopoly position for BT and it's sooooooooooo mega annoying. So our phone line will be switched to BT one of these coming days and we'll have no internet until Frank has found a new provider. No internet means no SylkeWeb and no surfing for me. Gah, that's just horrible!

Anyway, have a good week or so without me. I'll miss you all! Sniff.

… and now nothing works. Beware of TalkTalk.

I hate sales people who don't know what they are talking about. They promise you what you want to hear (broadband with static IP address) instead of what they really have on offer (no static IP address). We fell for it and now we need to look for a new one to get SylkeWeb back on-line permanently instead of intermittently.

On top of that, ever since we are with TalkTalk our connection has become really flaky. I'm not happy at all.
