I hate it when they log a call with those words. It basically means you'll spend an hour trying to get them to explain what they actually mean by "slow".
I recently had a guy complaining his internet connection was slow and how they had just upgraded to 20mb and it made no difference and it was obviously the firewall to blame.
What I eventually managed to get out of him was that what he was trying to do was log in from home with SecureClient and open a 10mb word file from a network share. Apparently "slow" means that it was taking between 30 sec and a min to open...........:banghead::banghead::banghead:
lol i hate 'iain the systems are running slow'
'well what are you doing that is going slower than usual'
'everything'
Peak times suck.

My broadband died totally recently. The alarm installer used 2 of the spare wires in the phone line cable to connect the control panel to the alarm box. the interference from it reduced my (already rubbish connection) from 3MB/s to 3b/s. I couldn't even load the speedtest website.

Is it Redcare? I'm sure BT don't allow Redcare and broadband over the same phone line for this exact reason.
Had an issue recently with an alarm installer at a customers site. He connected to the NTE however the NTE didn't have a ADSL faceplate and so wasn't being filtered. Had to put a BT ADSL faceplate on and then plug the alarm wires into the filter.
Original problem:
ISP found no issues btw!!

nah it's an ADT monitored alarm so uses the phoneline if it gets set off.
I moved the location of my front door, so had to move the control panel to be near the new front door. The phone socket was inbetween the alarm box and the control panel so instead of putting a new wire to connect the control panel to the alarm box, he used the spare wires in the phone line going from the alarm box to the phone socket.
Basically it saved him 5 minutes work and looked a bit neater. Backfired when he had to come back to rewire it though. He's going to have to come back again because he's screwed up the night setting.
The monitoring is more hassle than it's worth tbh. The monkey who installed it managed to screw up and send an emergency notice to the cops, who turned up and were really irate (understandably). We also had a false alarm when the battery in the smoke alarm (also part of the alarm) died, and the idiots called everyone on our key-holder list except me and the girlfriend. When i called them up to find out what had set off the alarm, they didn't know.
When the contract expires I'm going to change it for one with a simcard that calls me when it goes off instead, at least i don't have to deal with some call-centre r****d.
