What don't you understand? Its the right number - it just doesn't work, its permanently engaged in the evenings. It seems to me ntl haven't leased enough FRIACO capacity to cope with peak times. I'm sorry, but if I pay for unmetered access, I expect to be able to use it. Having said that, it has been much better the last few nights - it only took 5 redials to get in tonight.

The problem has only occurred since migrating from the old 0800 number to the new FRIACO number.

Re-reading nareshc's original post, I'm surprised to notice that he says the old 0800 number stopped working for him on 16/1/04. It stopped for me way back before Christmas - at least a couple of months ago (and I've had nothing but trouble since). Maybe its a geographical thing. Is anybody still able to use the old number?

Its always a good sign when tech support will spend ages going through your configuration and installing new dialler software. Thats going to stop the line being engaged
