I couldn't dial up for about an hour, the number was engaged all the time, both the 0800 no and the 1p amin number.
No one in tech support new what was wrong.

Working again here, still on the old number i think. Not sure if it was the same problems as yours?
First time I've had an engaged signal since having dial up over a year ago.
Hope its not a sign of things to come

I have posted this comment before.
It appears to me that the ease of connecting on dialup depends on your location.
I rarely have to try more than once to connect. It may be because I live in a rural location. The only downside is it will be some considerable time before broadband is available in my location unless BT get their finger out and upgrade my local exchange.
