BT says I can go to 1MB - Wanadoo says I can't

When is wanadoo going to update their service checker?

I looked at the BT website check and they say I can go to 1MB - wanadoo says
I'm too far away - I think BT should know.

Sorry - wrong NG

I think BT should know.

I wouldn't bank on it - My recent experience with BT confirmed my suspicions
they're complete f*ckwits - elbows, breweries, lack of organisational skills
and bottoms come to mind.

I've worked on the assumption that a company that hasn't been able to
effectively run a telco for several decades isn't suddenly going to
improve when they diversify their activities.

Because agencies like the Department of Work and Pensions and the
Department of Social Security insist on doing everything by post rather
than telephone. So if, as I've been, you are incapacitated for a while, it
can take several months to get any benefit claim sorted. All it takes is
for them to query something and you've got an instant two week delay just
from the time to get stuff through the post.

I moan about ntl now and again, but when it comes down to it they are an
awful lot better than the alternatives. Sadly that is faint praise.

I sympathise, but it sounds more like a reason to complain about the DWP to
me, rather than the post!

I'm currently prepared to rant about either at length given half a chance.

They need it so they can communicate without the phones, Victoria.

You think that's bad. After leaving University on medical grounds I
had to claim incapacity benefit (actually income support on medical
ground since I'd not worked for 3 years).

I got the benefit, but about 6 months in I had a medical and lost the
benefit. I made an appeal and eventually won, but it took almost 2
years to sort out!!!!!!! I eventually received a cheque for almost
£5000 for back payments (bought a car with it :-)).
