Hello,
I was originally enquiring about Home Essentials as I receive Pension Credit as it's cheaper than ordinary BT rates. I was advised that it wouldn't be a good move as I would lose up to half of my speeds. The plan we agreed on was put in place and still cheaper by £25 a month than the BT bill which was £313 a quarter. I've looked at my emails for the contract name but can't see it. Then again, my eyes don't fully wake up unti about an our after the rest of me.
My problems are caused by this building. It's over 70 feet long. The hub is where the telephone llne enters the property at the far end. My two PCs are at the opposite end and were connected by a CAT cable via the loft and a small black box that I can plug up to 4 or 5 devices into. I disconnected that when I went wireless a few months ago.
Satisfied that it was all working correctly I switched to EE, and it's all gone pear-shaped. There is a PC next to the hub, but that belonged to my partner's father, who died in September, and nobody knows the password. This means that any help I get on this PC, I have to stroll 25 yards to try something out then 25 yards back to repoirt what has/hasn't happened.
I have no use for a printer these days so I can't take a copy of the 'info' up to the other end, That relies on memory, which is okay as long as I don't get interrupted by my partner, the dogs, the postman or dogs trying to kill the postman or an Amazon delivery driver.
The old landline phone worked for about an hour yesterday, then gave up. The various plug-in phones are not co-operating at all.
Enough of waffling on, which I'm afraid is a tendency of mine.
I hope to find by some method if EE send out engineers.
Regards
John
