James Button

London

Consultant

Reminds me of the story that appeared in the national press a while ago about a fellow who was unhappy with the throughput and reliability of his BT dial-up connection, that they said was as good as possible.
He contracted for a 'leased line'.
A week later his dial-up improved an enormous amount.
Preparing for the 'leased line' connection at the exchange, BT had stopped using the same line for his neighbours as a disguised party line.
He cancelled the leased line contract
and just kept the improved connection!
