You really DO have my sympathies Mart. When I had my 10 weeks of comms
hell earlier this year it was that for nearly all of that time that I
still had a good ADSL connection that kept me going. Skype got me round
the lack of a phone plus eventually getting a mobile. If, on the other
hand, it had been loss of ADSL I don't know what I would have done (well I
do actually, it would have been Be There here I come) as having to use
dial-up for more than a few minutes is now so painful. Such memories,
£300+ per quarter phone bills, virtually all of which was for off-peak
PAYG dialup, until I managed to discover Screaming that included free
dial-up, but even then ADSL didn't come a day too soon.

Hope you get your problem fixed "real soon". In the meantime do you
perhaps have a kindly neighbour who will let you connect via wi-fi?

Cheers,

Mike
