sorry but you are wrong as for most if not all of us saturdays are a standard working day , how many depends on what roster you are on.

If terms of openreach engineers many work Saturday, but in terms of Openreach counting response times, Sat/Sun dont count

Fixed just now, was an exchange thing apparently. Phone went down, back up few minutes later. Engineer phoned, said it was the simplest thing he'd done all day.
Thanks for all responses.
Maybe need to think about getting a business class line, or one of those routers with an auto 3g modem fallback.

Maybe need to think about getting a business class line, or one of those routers with an auto 3g modem fallback. Good to hear it was fixed so quickly. I think your two thoughts about covering the same possibility for the future may be overkill. IIRC I've seen 3-4 reports of crossed lines in the years I've been here.
My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk
My domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost. Internet connection - Plusnet Value Fibre 80/20 trial.

I don't want to say "I told you so", but .....
Doubtless a tip solder bar pair, with an off cut of wire making contact between your and another line. Absolute tickle, wish I'd picked up it up today !

Hrrrm, ok. I'm on adsl2+ atm, but fibre is coming soon-ish, so maybe I wait for that.
Am I right in assuming most faults for me would likely be past the cabinet? Distances involved are about 75m to the cabinet, but something in the region of 1000m beyond that to the exchange.

So, why do BT charge me 50% extra if I need work carrying out on Saturday!

Nice little extra - seems to have added about 2mbit, 16.5 to 18.5 Not bad for a 1km line.

Cos retail prices are different from wholesale prices in any industry.
