Good morning everyone, lovely and sunny here now bit April showers forecast We're having a techie problem time, having a spat with BT over our so called new superfast fibre which is anything but, but is costing extra a month. They now reckon that it is super fast to the hub (have connected the ethernet cable and it is) but because it is wifi it will not be fast. Also we made need super laptops. Nobody told us this when we agreed to upgrade, so BT have lodged a complaint. Watch this space Also whilst I was on to them I enquired about the Call Blocker facility on our BT phones, did we have to pay extra for this service. No, was the reply, the phone will do it automatically. It doesn't, and asking on Amazon nether does anyone else's Along with all this the TV has gone haywire this morning

Everything seems to go at once Jimmy, I've had a rotten few weeks. I got rid of BT a few years ago, had so many problems and each time I rang up it was like speaking to Ghandi. With Sky now and their Fibre Broadband is far faster than BT.

With Sky now and their Fibre Broadband is far faster than BT. Here's the rub, I tried Sky but according to them there is no fibre in this area. I pointed out that I am into my third 18 month contract with fibre from BT but their system says it is not here I know what the problem is, Open Reach have not signalled that we have it and despite many requests still have not done so

There's a friend of mine who lives about 5 miles away from us and he can't get Sky, so he's on BT. He's always complaining how bad it is and how poor their customer service is too.

I nipped out to Curry's in town. It was dry and sunny when I went in and only there 5 minutes, came out and it was like a monsoon.
Torrential rain with big hailstones too. I had no hat so got soaked, had to change as soon as I got home, of course 5 minutes later the sun came out again and it's still shining now, one hour later.

I have been with Sky for years and (fingers crossed) had no problems at all with my BB. I'm not on superfast BB,but get between 10 and 15 gigs speed. My son who has opted for superfast does not get even the speed I'm getting. If they have put the cables in for superfast,but the cable ends in the old copper cable you don't get superfast. Apparently in many places they have attached the new cables to the old cables at each end.

Doncaster races today, there were some seriously good tips going around town this morning. So, after thinking should I or shouldn't I bother, I ventured into the turf accountants to put a bet on, a lucky fifteen. I had 4 winners and for my £5 have £3000 coming back. Not a bad return. To think I nearly didn't bother too.

Too true JImmy. Not very often I have a bet and nearly didn't bother today. Glad I did now.
