  • lostphoenixuk Lost Phoenix Gaming (@lostphoenixuk) reported

    @bt_uk It sounds complicated but really isn't (just a long workaround because of the hub being so restricted) I know I am working with stuff beyond anything the "average" customer would use & the solution is a simple one but complicated by the hub not wanting to play well with others

    @bt_uk After waiting for nearly half an hour, I managed to speak to someone. But the fact that I have to wait until the 4th of January to get the connection enabled is quite poor. Especially for a new customer account and cos BT chose a telegraph pole which is miles from my house
