Wry humour comes in many forms and is not often identifiable so what you may perceive as having a go at someone, may just be how you interpret someone's attempt at humour.

Whatever. Study this thread and look at the kind of stuff I'm posting, giving heads up on new cabinets becoming available to order, etc. updating the map. Informing people as best I can.

That's what I'm saying, I'm not moaning. I am [censored] frustrated, but not a moaner, I'm trying to turn the frustration into something positive by actually doing something.

Just like hundreds of others have done via these very boards.

Easy to have a pop at someone, though.

I didn't say your cabinet will be completed in the next three months. I just said looking at what's going on in the area it seems likely that more staff will be freed up in about 3 months or so to complete the remaining cabinets.

I don't think you're moaning at all, btw.

Yeah I know, though it was a 'comforting' message

Like I've said in this thread and the other, it will be here when it's here, even if I get to 30 or more setbacks!

Are you saying I have taken a pop at you? Or do you wish to report someone for a personal attack?

That is the implication from the line "Easy to have a pop at someone, though."

My post was purely saying humour online does not always convey itself fully and thus is often missed and people may see it as moaning.

No.

I was accused of moaning and pestering. Which is rich, considering that all I've ever tried to do is help.

You are perhaps the one not understanding written humour. Apologies if you felt I needed to post a smiley after my comment.

I'm not buying your attempt at sincerity one bit.

Sincerity? More a problem of your reading into a post something that was never intended but then again if that's what you want to think that's your choice. <joke>Perhaps you should consider writing to your MP. </joke>

You should perhaps also consider yourself lucky that BT are upgrading your cab, even if delayed, whereas there are many thousands who would welcome their cab being on an upgrade plan (commercial or BDUK) or their EO line being moved to a cab. There are many in the bigger cities where there is no BDUK funding who would happily swap places with you for the prospect of obtaining an FTTC connection soon, albeit delayed.

I can understand Daves frustration, you would think that given the monopoly BT have over the rollout they would at least be forced to deal with the customers who are getting the least from their current setup.

Why not, rather than cherry picking the easier cabinets and leaving the others hanging don't they start with the cabinets that are giving the worst speeds and work backwards, not stopping until that complete exchange is dealt with.

That way people who have previously been getting the worst performance for their money over the years actually feel like they are winning for once.
