No more capacity at my exchange, stop bullsh--ing me

Options
Hi everyone, I moved apartment over Xmas and sorted my broadband 10 days ago to go live today. went to access today and nothing......... Phoned my ISP who said some garbage about not being enough capacity in the exchange and i had to wait for them to free up some more!! maybe in a couple of weeks. are Freedom 2 Surf my Isp takin the p-ss, I can't just phone my work and say sorry but I can't file reports for 2 weeks.I have moved literally 50 yards from my old apartment, in fact if i had left my wireless router in my old place i could probarly pick it up from here.
I Live in the middle of Southampton about 800 yards from the main exchange and I can't believe that BT wait for capacity to run out and then intstruct their engineers to free more capacity.

If it is a !!!!-up on f2s part then I don't mind if someone holds there hands up but don't feed me bullsh-t like monkey arrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

    I know how you feel. I want to upgrade to 2mb. It is avaliable at my exchange but my phone line can only cope with 1mb.

  • Hi, I moved from Onetel to F2s in November (should have been October but thats another story) so I was not surprised to read your posting. Keep on at them, politely of course! Good Luck - Sallysaver

    There will probably be capacity in the exchange; the fact is that they may not have any of it....................
