The Daily Teaser — 17-12-2015: Vogue


Hmmm … 

You know, my on-going broadband situation … is on-going … 

Which you’d probably worked out, hadn’t you … ?

But, just so you know … ?

Last night, I’d had two conversation with someone from BT: about trying to turn off the BT Fon feature on my router.   Something I’m told can be of benefit.

The FIRST call … ?   Was frustrating, and got me no-where.

The SECOND?   Was EQUALLY frustrating: the woman I was talking to told me that, as I had no-way of accessing the feature, she would turn off BT FON, from her end, and that it would take about an hour.

The screen shot — taken this morning — of the web-page that allows me to tinker with the router’s settings will tell you everything you need to know, I think.

It’s still active.   What’s more, last night saw the usage monitor BT provide us with, went down.   Which I thought was … well, SLIGHTLY suspicious …

At ANY rate … ?

I really am getting frustrated about this.

And wondering what on EARTH’s happening!

House of Cards — Series 2: Episode 8 and 9

You know, I THINK I’ve had a stressful day off.

No, really.

OK, I’ve little more than write Teasers: but I’ve ALSO been waiting for a call.

From BT, would you believe.

My broadband user seems unusually high: and NOT dropping, despite my efforts to keep an eye one these things.

And today has seen me trying to get BT to turn off a feature built into my router: that I can’t otherwise access.

It’s Wednesday.   ALSO know, to some of my fellow Twitter users, as Hump Day.

The fact the feature concerned still isn’t deactivated … ?

Means having the hump is putting it mildly …

The Daily Teaser — 16-12-2015: Arthur C Clarke

Right … I now have … a day off … !

Frankly … ?   It’s one I’m hoping to write a few Teasers on: as well as make the associated videos.

It MIGHT not go that way, though.

Remember me saying that my broadband usage seemed suspiciously high, over the past few months?

Well, BT are due to phone me, today.   One of my neighbours has suggested I turn off the BT Fon feature — that let’s people use the BT Wi-fi service — as doing so had helped her in similar circumstances.

Hopefully … ?

They’ll be able to talk me through the relevant procedure.

Although, to be frank … ?

I’m starting to wonder how much help it CAN be … ?

I’m not losing hope about the situation.   But I AM feeling mildly cynical about the whole thing.
