Yesterday I had problems with my broadband. It was a bit wonky all afternoon and in the early evening it died.frown
So I rang my ISP.

An automated voice greeted me:smile: , explained me the cost of the phone call and finally asked me whether I rang from the number my broadband is connected with.

I answered yes it was

(Here followed a short pause)

The voice came back to tell me that my ISP is aware of problems in my area, and that technicians are working on it to have it back up as soon as possible. Great happy
Then I was asked whether I have another question

No, I hadn't

The voice continued to thank me, and then told me if I needed more information to log on to their website www.whatever what

Stop, now I had another questionthink

But the voice wished me good bye, and ended the call.

Ever since I keep wondering:

How was I supposed to log on to their website when I had no broadband to begin with.


oops

Hahahaha. I used to go through this when I had dial up. They would give me an alternate phone number to use, but of course it was not free, I would have to pay 1.35 a minute for the use.

Nothing more frustrating than having to try and have a conversation with a machine
