« Last post by Brockett on May 16, 2024, 11:28:13 »After a long search I am now with Vodafone on a deal a bit cheaper than I was on before with a promise of 60+ MB ( whatever that means) according to my speed checker on the pole strung line to my home, I can get 27. So promises of a super high speed connection are just so much hot air.
But wait !!! there is more insanity out there
I phoned my car insurance (LV) to book a windscreen replacement
Phone rings and voice offers the usual option presss various numbers to get to the right people
So I end up with a long string of numbers on my phone and I'm talking to someone and the appointment is booked and I am directed to a payment process and the voice says enter your card details and I add that to the long string of numbers already on the screen and the voice keeps saying that it's the wrong number and there is no way I can see of deleting the previous numbers and she keeps telling me to enter my card details and then says I'm sorry please click the link on the email we have sent to you and then the line goes dead. Of course there is no link and link and no email ..... I really really really hate this so called new technology that never bloody works
