Suffice to say I was somewhat less than happy with both companies, especially after the time spent on Tesco's £0.50 per minute helpline and finding it was mostly due to their error. Once the BT end of the problem was found, BT fixed it quickly fair play (under one hour). Thanks Darren and Jochen, life has proved difficult without telephone and email! And after this morning's conversation with a very helpful member of Tesco's helpline staff I am more aware of the problems they face in manning (personning?) such helplines. -- Dilwyn Jones
