Reconnected

I may have been a little unfair on the TalkTalk helpline as my wife, after 48 hours off line, gave them a ring last night, and without any human intervention a BT engineer arrived at the house at 8am this morning, diagnosed the fault, summoned a colleague to assist, then spent four hours installing a new line from the telegraph pole, through the wall, and into a new junction box to reconnect us to the information super-highway, albeit via the information little-country-lane that makes its old fashioned, copper wired way into the village.
