It is really starting to annoy me now … over six weeks … in the nations capital, and the incumbant telco can’t supply a damned phone line. First there was a note on the order stating Nil-Cable …. which I’d believe except that the nice young lady on 1901 (the sales line) confirmed that 7 of my neighbours already had a phone service.
Today we notice that there’s a voltage on the line … you can hear the static when you make / break the contact (or tap the cradle) … but there’s absolutely no tone on it. At least they’re not saying “nil-cable” any more .. rather something like … “we can’t contact the engineer on site, so can’t give you a timeframe” …
You’ve really got to wonder …
In the meantime updates here will be infrequent, as I’ll be posting from the in-laws DSL …
“in the nations capital”!?!?! You live out in the arse-hole of nowhere my man, Lusk ffs!! ;o)
