Two weeks ago, I reluctantly accepted to wait till November 1 to be connected to the British Telecom telephone network. Yesterday - nothing happened. Today I rang up the company. The engineer reported to them that he had been at my place at 15.10 yesterday and been unable to get admission. He had done no such thing, but the company would not believe that the bastard lied. Now I am told that the next available slot is on the 24th. BT live in a world where the customer is always wrong. I will now see if I can find another company to connect me - unfortunately, BT's largest competitor, NTL, does not cover my area.
