I may be gone a while
A chap/chapess is coming this afternoon to install the line and modem for fibre optic broadband. When we had broadband installed originally we spent over a week offline because the router was faulty -- something the provider's support team refused to believe -- though the replacement they finally sent has worked perfectly ever since (and served as a bum warmer for the cats.) Due to the fact this house was built in the 60s (and the builder and architect were not thinking very hard) the main phone socket is installed on the wall against the services core and the nearest sockets are a good six feet away and are already used for router/lamp/laptops/hardrive. More four/six/eight gangers here we come. (And it is only now that I discover we could have ordered a really, really long cable to connect the modem and the router. Not that this would have done us much good because - sockets.)
Also, our provider may be off line (with others who, like most providers, use BT's Openreach fibre) at times during the next couple of weeks.
We may be gone for some time.
