I got the warning letters (which most annoyingly always suggested I moved my account to 'broadband' despite it not being available at that time at my own exchange yet).
Yeah, I was the same no ADSL at exchange.
You know they had a system where you could register an interest in ADSL.
Well I used to register loads with all different data telephone numbers address etc (all real) and all auto from a database.
Now I look back and it seems it was not needed as most people now have broadband access but maybe it made me get it quicker than I would have.
Now all I need is my exchange LLU by anyone other than TalkTalk or Tiscalli.
Cleared out an old concertina file and came across my first ISPs bill, Global Internet, this was for a dial up account, total bill for the year including vat £105.74. You probably didn't want to know that, looks as if I paid the whole year upfront.
I can remember my dialup phone bill account was £150 a month and we had two lines, OMG.
We still have the physical second line (not paid for) but when I tested it a few months back it still works (calls out and in) and some people can't even get one line installed. I wonder if it is someone's line and there is an error? I did think about leaving the phone attached to see if it gets calls.
Then got anytime and got banned.
