gaaah! Trying to sign up with bulldog there, and they won't accept the card. There's money in the bank, so i dunno what's wrong.
I'm cursed. that's all it can be.
@ saneboy - i was with NTL a few years ago in a flat i used to live in (round the corner from this one, actually) and the service was decent. The STB was still crap, but i don't remember having major problems with the BB like this. I definitely had to restart the modem on occasion, but not as bad as this. It's been ok these past few days, mind you. Still don't trust it.
