Re: Engineer no-show

I was told last Friday that our duff connection would mean a tech call yesterday between 1 and 4. No show for us either. The connection still hiccoughs as the line levels drift up and down by about 2db around the "optimal" 0db.

About to run the gauntlet of strange accents on the fault line again....

So if there is no more fines why are threats being put out .

Nobody should be advised of a no-one home charge anymore. It's only a recent thing though, so you may have been one of the last to be advised?

Probably no one has thought to remove the message from there, but it does not matter as the is no longer a £10 charge and no agent should even mention it, I for one stopped on the day it was withdrawn.
