It wasn't just the remote Highlands. We only managed to get our first broadband service out here in the Sussex countryside, when the BT engineer offered to climb up a pole a quarter of a mile away, remove the equipment that had been installed there, and relocate it to our pole. "It's the best we can do. You're two miles from the exchange, you know" was the story.Ah, those were the days, when your net connection would cut out for no reason at all , when connections were painfully slow and we just bore it all with fortitude saying "Well, that's computers ..." Back in the day, you were charged by the minute as well..
No love lost there from me. Of course if you choose to live in the remote Highlands - I guess you accept it .?
Did anyone actually buy anything from Amstrad after their PCW became a heap of cack.
Aah, thems were the days
