Ghah! I thought it was.

The engineer yesterday said he’d found two separate faults (and fixed them). During the afternoon, my router lost network connection a couple of times. I was told it might, just once or twice. By ten o’clock last night, I was losing connection every ten minutes or so.

A phone call to BT this morning confirmed that there is still a fault “on the network”. It could take up to next Wednesday before another engineer comes out. OpenReach (the telecoms maintenance company) are abysmal. I left VirginMedia because of terrible (fibreoptic) line quality and disconnections – until last Weds, BT had been pretty stable. But their ability to get things fixed when problems come up is piss poor.

So internet is still flaky. Sodding hell.

You’re saying your internet is…. wonky? XD

You nailed it. W@nky.

Engineer is supposedly coming tomorrow. That’ll be the third visit since problems started last Wednesday. Though in other news, I had a connection for long enough to get some web pages uploaded to my server, for doing things like logging in, selecting characters to add to your team and joining online games, which is exciting.

I might take a break from my computer for a few hours and actually do some painting. I know how much you love my unpainted projects, so I’ll post some photos; I think I did actually finish the gunner (albeit a pretty basic paint-and-drybrush job) – so I can start a new pledge tomorrow….

@blinky465 While I am glad I don’t deal with BT anymore, if it’s any consolation I find Bell over here in Canada to be a similar kind of ridiculous. Though they are mainly just incompetent at anything except ripping you off…
