I know you bhes are missing me killing you & that. Good news is the BT dude is coming round on Friday 25th to connect my phone line!

Now, how quick & easy is it to get broadband sorted. Can I phone up once the BT man has gone, pay for it then get on-line?

I need to know for GTA IV obviously, don't want to miss out as I've not sorted broadband in advance.

Everytime I've had broadband sorted it takes a week or two for them to connect the line and get it all up and running.

hehe

No copy of GTA and now no Broadband for you.

Takes a couple of weeks usually! 21 days has been the norm for me! I really don't understand why they can't just "flick a switch"

So I'd better get calling up for broadband then PDQ. I hope Sky will sort it out quick, what being a long time customer & that.

We'll see you sometime around the middle of May then? we'll make sure to get in all that extra practice time on GTA so you feel really inadequate when you finally get round to playing.

Lollers - you're fked! Get ready for a GTA raping when you finally get online wink




More constructively - call BT NOW and get the ball rolling - the same engineer could connect you up on Friday as they need to physically do something to turn your BB on which is what the wait is normally for.

I'll be playing all right, just alone tumbleweed

Weird how when you play off line it doesn't remember everything you've accomplished when you go back on-line and look at the stats between you & the people on your frineds list.

While were all winding up MK4 here, I'd like to do the opposite. When I moved in I activated the line for broadband, it was up and running in 2 days. So I'd stress that you need your line for business/sales and see if they can do anything for you, that's what I done smile

It pays to be an awkward bas* sometimes.

I had my broadband up in a week, and that was with Be*. I've heard some horror stories with Sky though.

Keeerrching.

1x respect point for Dave, cheers lad!

I'm waiting to the boss to fkoff then will phone and employ my silver tounge to get it sorted. I've got the shakes & everything from lack of on-line-edness. I've even purchased a skateboard game for the 360 confused I'm losing it.
