Home Internet Restored

A brief post celebrating the fact that after a week and a half without it I once again have broadband access at home. Ends with a bumper photo gallery, including the first butterfly of 2024.

The engineer came round near the beginning of the official slot of 8AM – 1PM today and connected up my new EE Home Hub, so after a gap of a week and a half I have Broadband at home once again.

A FRIGHTENINGLY WARM FEBRUARY

As I type this it is 12 degrees Celsius outside (53.6 Fahrenheit for USian readers), and that is far from out of keeping with the last week or so, when double figure positives have been the rule rather than the exception. February in high northern latitudes such as England is generally one of the two coldest months of the year alongside January, and the outside temperature hitting double figure positives on a regular basis is way out of kilter. Yesterday while out and about I saw my first butterfly of 2024, a small Tortoiseshell, while the spring flowers are in full bloom.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Saturday and yesterday were both good days for photography, in spite of being cloudy, and I therefore finish this post a king size gallery…

This shot and the next seven after it showcase the Lego architecture that I indulged in at the ‘Just a Cuppa’ morning for Autistic Adults at King’s Lynn Library on Saturday.
This close up of the entrance also shows the topmost part of the gothic archway which links the front porch to the main building.

My Current Email/ Internet Situation

A very brief explanation of my current situation regarding internet and email access, and why posting will be light/ sporadic until a week tomorrow.

I have recently switched from BT to EE, and while my mobile phone transferred as required there has been a problem with my broadband, meaning that until a week tomorrow I will be without internet access at home. Therefore posting will be sporadic. I can of course edit my photos at home…

Moorhens do fly, but they do so only over short distances, and very low and fast, so capture two in flight simultaneously is a rarity.

BT Failing to Serve Rural Customers

I arrived at East Rudham for Sunday lunch today in time to catch the latter stages of a telephone conversation between my father and a BT Customer Services Operator regarding his internet connection. The internet connection in question was not working at all, and rather than listen and attempt to find a solution the operator was insistent on going on about resetting the router. This is asinine and offensive since the firs thing that anyone who is experiencing problems with an internet connection does is to reset the router.

Eventually the call ended with an arrangement for a supervisor to call back. By the time I left Rudham some five hours later this call back had still not materialised – disgraceful!!
