I Just had an interesting conversation with Bulldog. My line now plays up after 7pm every night for about a week now. I called bulldog and after the usual waiting got through to a guy who told me that the problems I am having (all of a sudden after years of near perfect service) are caused by the street lamps sucking power from my router. Of course I laughed and he told me he was serious, I then asked to speak to someone else so he put me on hold (for 50 million years) after which I hung up and redialled and finally spoke to someone else (Jamie) who was very helpful indeed but also commented that this may be true. But since the street lamps come on a good 2 hours earlier than my problems start he concluded that it probably wasn't the problem, not to mention my line isn't anywhere near a street lamp. My service is perfect during the day.
I also told him my friend about 2 miles away has the same problem who is with BT instead of Bulldog but the same exchange. So the problem might be with the exchange. I then was passed on to a technical support person who changed my profile slightly which seemed to make no difference (fob off I think), and so I await tonight's ups and downs.
I wonder how many other people are being told this and whether there is any truth to it after years of near perfect connection quality.
Makes you wonder doesn't it..... :laugh:
