So this morning I get an e-mail from F2S that my ADSL is activated and ready to go. I think, "Yay, broadband!" and get home and start fiddling about with the computer and stuff trying to configure the router. An hour later I cave in and call the help desk. Another hour, two calls and a new micro filter later, we've determined BT needs to get involved, probably to the extent of sending an engineer over here to check and double-check that my phone line is indeed supposed to be able to handle DSL. There's no telling for sure if that's even going to happen at all, and if so, when. So I'm still stuck on dialup.

*scream of frustration and primal rage*

Hey, some of us are permanently stuck with dial-up. :-)

I hope your connection will get fixed soon, though. It must be especially frustrating when you're used to DSL.

It is, yes. I've always had ADSL before, so this dialup nonsense is just maddening, especially once I thought "Yay, no more!" and then it turned out to be false hope. Dammit. :(
