The next two paras were also posted to a General Forum thread I started on the 11th Jan.
Shortly after my last post here, my internet connection died, and I've been offline ever since. I've finally had to start up a dialup account (gasp) as Wanadoo (= Pile o' Poo) screwed up an 8 Meg line upgrade, couldn't fix it or put me back to anything faster than 0 Meg, and it'll take WEEKS to even release the line to start up with a new ISP - which is what I'm having to do.
So avoid Wanadoo, to anybody in Europe that might be unlucky enough to fall into their incompetent clutches, and be wary of LLU (Local Loop Unbundling) technology, and if your ISP offers you an 8M ADSL upgrade, be prepared for disappointment and major downtime if it doesn't work.

So I've got a dialup account for now which I'm sharing with the household landline, so my online time will be limited for a while. I'll try and catch up with stuff over the next few days, but it might be several weeks before I can be fully active.
