Well, the ADSL got turned off yesterday morning, so I've been using the good old dial up modem (56k).

The BT 'Engineer' came yesterday and put a new master socket in, 2 metres away from the current one. My extention socket was wired in to the old master socket, so this morning, I had to run a wire from the new master socket back to the old one to get it connected. He also put in an Openreach modem.

No idea what my Mother is planning to connect to said Openreach modem. I tried connecting a PC to it, with the PC doing the PPPoE, but it didn't work. I tried to log into the Plusnet website and it failed, so I think she has changed the password.

Looks like I might be stuck on dialup for a while.
