Apologies to those of you trying to contact me

I am sorry but that wonderful organisation known as BT has cut of my broadband service when I had a simple number change carried out. >:(

They did of course tell me when i enquired that there would be no problem at all with my service and all the would remain the same. >:(

Now though they will not put it back on unless I pay for re-instatment and all associated costs including paying my contract up in full >:( even though they admit I was given wrong information, they are insisting I broke the contract and as such have to pay up in full. :-/

The dummies you speak to at BT all read from the same script which says 'we do not make mistakes so you have to pay' >:(

So as you can imagine I have told them where to get off and will now change to NTL but will not be fully up and running until the 8th July.

I will inform you of my change or e-mail address in due course.

I had loads of problems with BT when i moved from Dorset to Cornwall .
1 When i ordered a new line i inform BT that the property has no line to it at all i was assured that this wasnt a problem.
2.When they did turn up 3 days after the appointment it turned out as i havnta line to the property it is now a problem.
3 When i complained to BT on several occasions i spent hours on the phone to do the nagging i asked if BT could ring me back as i was on a mobile and cost a fortune i was informed BT cant ring out.
4 When we did get a line i was ninformed i never ordered broadband when i did.
5 And when i did get a line BT rang my mobile to check if my line was ok   LOL.
6 I moved some 8 weeks now and just got a bill from my old number ,and as you cant have a new number until the old one is paid in full will be another complaint.
7 I got a months broadband refunded you would of thought they were giving me the world when the phoned me to tell me. I was without it for nearly a month anyway which i did point out i also asked if BT employees go on a course to say sorry as they are very good at it

Mon night a friend phoned mobile and asked me who was strange woman on my phone. As it was not the other half, I rang my number and was greeted by a Oriental sounding lady. She had been given a new line with my number on Fri.
