BT Broadband

I live in the countryside not far
from the major industrial conurbation of Birmingham and surrounded
by major infrastructure M5, M42 and A38. Still, my BT Broadband is
slow! Thanks to a great BT Engineer, half-an-hour ago, my BT line
was reconnected. The local wiring was old and finally fell over on
Monday when I lodged a complaint. I was advised by the Helpline to
change my ADSL Filter. I knew the moment the advisor offered this
help that she was probably wrong. What's been happening since I was
connected a couple of months ago, is that the connection kept
dropping out. This got unbearable by last Monday, when I finally
had enough time to phone and complain. It took over an hour to get
the wrong advise. I plugged the modem directly into the phone line
to see if it was the filter at fault. Nothing happened. I unplugged
the modem and then the phone didn't work. The line was dead. The BT
Engineer which has just left told me that the local distribution
box in the room next door was in a bit of a mess. He rewired it and
now (touch wood) I back online. All problems will now be logged
here in
case I need to report faults again in the future.
