    Thanks for that Helen. I've just called the number but it's engaged continuously. Guess a lot of MSErs trying to get through...;) My billing date has passed so hopefully catch it in time for next month.
    Yes hun, remember its a 01 number so if you get free evening calls call after 6 ;)

    Hi Helen,

    Do you know the hours of the number, is it until 11pm? Thanks.

    Still trying to get through, every time I call it's engaged, engaged, engaged. Dreading when I do get through that I will get someone with poor English. So sick of call centres based in India etc. Still paying £17.99 a month and the billing date is the middle of the month so probably too late for April if I do get through. Thanks for the info though Helen, will keep on trying.

    Slightly off-topic but if people upgrade to Wanadoo Broadband, does it always take two weeks to be up and running? Bearing in mind we've had the starter kit for a week?
