Oh c'mon!!! I've been without Internet access all day until I got on
the train, so I didn't see the cancellation notice. :-( Why's it
been so quite lately?<br>
Well it's nice that you said that it's cancelled in the subject
line but, meh, trust me to still miss that. :-] My brother
accidentally used 75% of my EE sharer contract (with rogue automatic
updates over WiFi hotspot apparently), and the contract finishes a
week on Saturday so I didn't want to renew it. I still use my old
phone on Three PAYG as a spare, but I didn't realise that it had
nearly run out, which it did yesterevening. So I bought a Three
topup voucher this afternoon and activated it on the train, so… :-/
then I checked my emails. :-]<br>
Btw., if anyone happens to know how to persuade BT Wholesale to
serve FTTC to SY1 1XA, please let me know!! Their availability
checker <i>did</i> say 2014 December (if I remember correctly) then
it delayed to September, but now it doesn't even list any fibre
product at all dammit! >:-( I've been waiting for FTTC before
taking out a landline with A&A, and now that I'm not going to
renew our contract and just use PAYG, it makes sense for me to now
get a landline connection and only transfer small amounts of data
over cell networks (plural because I'm going to get a phone with
active dual-SIM, giving flexibility of choice between tariffs). My
family's house has a landline so I've suggested that my mother and
brother also switch to PAYG when I end the contract. Looking at our
vast monthly variation of usage, from some months only using less
than a tenth to others running out of the 20GB before the monthly
reset, and most months being less than half, it really highlights
that fixed contracts are a bad idea and that I'm only going to use
PAYG from now on because it's more flexible. Especially seeing as
our contract is over 80£/mo, not counting additional charges – with
no change in usage, PAYG will work-out the same, if not slightly
cheaper; with some reduction due to landline use, it'll be a lot
cheaper.<br>
So any suggestions about how to get fibre? I live in a town and
can see the Shrewsbury BT central office from my kitchen window
about 50 metres away. (?!?!) C'mon BT!<br>
Anyway, once I'm on the train the ticket's used so I'm here now
(arrived at about 20:30) and I'm having dinner and a pint of cider.<br>
There's not currently a reason why I won't make it to next
fortnight's meeting, so hopefully see you there.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
James.<br>
