Delay with KC telephone hook up
I was looking to move house a few months ago and went for a Westbridge Homes New build development.
After moving in I was sorting all the usual stuff out; insurance, post redirecting, and addresses for all my domain names updating etc. I called KC to get a new telephone line put in with a Broadband connection and was told at first I would be called back in the next week to arrange a date for when an engineer can come and connect us.
After all the madness of moving I realised I never got that call, so I called KC in Hull and was told it would be a further 3 weeks at least due to all the flooding in the Yorkshire area, mainly Hull. So I wasn’t too pleased but in the situation of much of Hull been under water they had a fair point.
The annoying part was I was stuck in a contract for a further 10 months just because I requested a static I.P. from KC otherwise I would have gone for maybe the SKY deal.
The line and BB connection was for general browsing but was also to enable me to work securely from home to remote servers that host websites and relay email for out of hours support.
Otherwise BT could have done it much sooner and it’s no fun browsing web pages on a T-Mobile flex account on my laptop (dial up comes to mind).
Only 5 days to go and counting
