468333	2006-07-04 11:13:00	Warning: Another thread hijacking coming up! :p I found it very interesting a couple of weeks ago that we lost the use of our phones for almost a week but the internet (ADSL) still worked . :confused: Granted, it dropped off a few times, once for a couple of hours, and was a bit flaky every now and then, but it worked most of the time . Don't know how it all happened but when Telecom checked the wire out in the street they said they had fixed it but they hadn't . Eventually, after contacting them again, they did something in the "office" and we finally got the phones back again . Pity it had to take them almost a week to do it . :groan: What I still can't understand is why the internet still worked and not the phones?	FoxyMX (5)

What you should have trouble understanding is why it took them almost a week (unless you live in an area buried in snow) . We were buried under a couple of inches of snow for about half a day . In suburban ChCh, not out in the wop-wops . And yes, I do have a lot of trouble understanding why they couldn't fix it immediately considering the information given ought to have helped with a diagnosis . :rolleyes: Now I have the most enjoyable task of trying to claim back the cellphone charges for call diversion that have somehow ended up on my IPS's account instead of Telecom's . :(	FoxyMX (5)
