Since we moved two months ago we have opted to go back to usual set up for tinternet via our phones as we can't have fruit n fibre here as of yet.

So no landline active here either.

I now have practical proof that digital sucks! LOL I left my car in today to my local garage with the instruction to phone about 3ish to check on progress. Well, within an hour, I phone a dozen times, just rang out, so eventually I tried simultaneously calling using my mobile and (analogue) landline. His phone just rang out on both before getting the BT 'call minder' message. So I knew his phone was f*cked.

Not being able to organise him to pick me up to get car, I then had to order a taxi to get to garage. On arrival, I told him his phone wasn't working - he knew. By coincidence it then burst into life, showing 22 missed calls!

BT converted him to digital 2 months ago, and he has had issues ever since, and no one from BT appears to be able to fix it. His old fashioned 'analogue' line always worked.
