Bloody Sky, BT Phone lines

[kee1173]

Well back on line after 5 days of no phone line or internet...Started off saturday night with hardly any internet connection and a phone line with more crackling than a pork joint....Sunday all dead
So we phone Sky (via Mobile) as we had changed our line etc to them..after 30 mins of waiting we get thru to Sky Bombay office were this indian chap who i can hardly understand tells me not sky s problem but is my phone...so i try 5 phones and he still tells me its my phone...anyway after a lot of abuse and losin my rag in general my wife takes over and finally he agrees it is an outside fault will get the engineers out in 24hrs....well obviously 24hrs is either very slow or means something totally different in Bombay because they finally turn up today and after 3 hours of testing inside my house decide the fault is outside...Doohhhhh..told them that as they turned up... Had to put in brand new cableing from the mast to my house, after discovering it was about 20 years old and went thru several trees that had shorted it out....
Well, nice to be back and if i have nt answered anyones posts from things i have posted, you now know why. But gonna check thru about 5 days worth of posts now an see what i have missed....Just drives me mad that Sky, BT etc blame everything on you ( could of bought another 3 phones ) rather than just run a simple check and save the hassle.....
Well after all that im back... Maybe a good thing or Bad LOL

Sounds about right lol I wondered where you'd got to mate- thought you might have been having 2nd thoughts about your R and bought a proper one (850R) and were too embarrassed to come back and tell us :D

We have to put up with Orange over here- absolutely hopeless most of the time.
The future's not bright...its a manky orange colour!

[kee1173]

would love to get an 850 but then i sit in the V70 and the comfort and luxury just takes over .... plus mine starts with a key and not a crank .....LOL

[JelT5]

pmsl :D

I suppose yours has a gearbox that works too unlike my rubbishy, uncomfortable but proper Volvo T-5R lol

[t5_monkey]

Telecomms companies and their call centers seem uniquely frustrating!!

Glad you got it sorted... have your withdrawal symptoms (vomiting, shaking, hallucinations) stopped yet ? :)

[kee1173]

[JelT5]

I have to disagree, anyone with any sense knows that 850s are works of art in comparison to the V70chavmobiles ;)

[LiamT4]

You've been abandoned, because secretly they all want S/V70Rs! ;)

Definatly not aimed at us (even though i'm not your typical volvo driver!)

[JelT5]

LOL!!
I think it's more likely that you guys are hopeless cases: you can't spend your entire life trying to educate someone that just doesn't want to learn ;)

[kee1173]

The 850 was designed by a man with a serious ruler/ straight edge fetish..whilst the V70 was designed by a man with a not so serious ruler/straight edge fetish but still had a lil bit of one .... LOL

Cubism at it's best lol

[kee1173]

I think pratically square...is the correct term LOL

[LiamT4]

LOL!!

I can try. At least ours come as standard with front brakes that are bigger than a milk bottle top! lol :hidesbehi
I'm mean 280mm? My push bike has got bigger front discs than that!!!;)

[p fandango]

I won't forget that you git lol

[p fandango]

I can try. At least ours come as standard with front brakes that are bigger than a milk bottle top! lol
I'm mean 280mm?
they didn't all have 302's, just depended what parts they wanted to throw on the S/V70's :slap:


My push bike has got bigger front discs than that!!!
how many MANUAL gears has your push bike got? lol

[JelT5]

No definitely cubist mate lol

Well they had to put something half decent on to make the big, heavy lump of pig iron come to a halt lol
Your push bike must be massive, is it a seven seater?

;)

[LiamT4]

I'v not seen an S/V70R yet with 280s on.

[JelT5]

i will, i've got a s**t memory lol

I did notice, where are my 10 000 bejeweled coins today then eh?!

[kee1173]

no just the ones i buy do, then buy wheels that don t fit ....LOL

[p fandango]

I'v not seen an S/V70R yet with 280s on.
crafty, i thought we were just being general within the ranges here. In which case ex-plod 850's had 302's :smlove2:

[LiamT4]

24, i think? Bike = old technology, manual gears = old technology. lol Has your 850s progressed to a throttle pedal yet, or is it still controlled by levers!


No definitely cubist mate lol

I can't argue with that. lol

Whenever i see some chaved up little hatchback, i always say "bloody hell! those discs are tiny, my bikes got bigger brakes!", very loudly! I do get some nasty looks sometimes. lol

i was going to try & get the points for you now but the new netbook doesn't like multi-tasking that much, copying important files from the main computer (ie porn) & all the banter going on here it won't load up Facebook as well :redface:

[p fandango]

Has your 850s progressed to a throttle pedal yet, or is it still controlled by levers!
depends which is lightest lol

[kee1173]

I know what you mean, using my daughters netbook here and was going to watch the 10 sec volvo on the other thread but by the time it downloads it, it would be quicker to get a flight and go and see it for myself....LOL

[LiamT4]

I'm on a netbook with 3 mobile (no land line) and the connection seems better in my new place. Just a shame that i can only receive about 10 tv channels here.

[kee1173]

well back to the original thread...LOL .. now we have had the phone line re newed the netbook is a lot faster but god knows what my daughter has on this so i think it struggles a bit ...i think she thinks she has a proper pc with the amount of gear she has downloaded on this...

You weren't the only one getting confused mate, we're only jealous because you've got the morphine and we haven't ;)

[kee1173]

You weren't the only one getting confused mate, we're only jealous because you've got the morphine and we haven't ;)
