Saturday evening the BB went down for a couple of hours, then returned, only slower than before (a sync speed of 52Mbs rather than the usual 72Mbs, and crucially below the guranteed minimum of 57Mbs. Called Vodafone, who diagnosed a "wet joint". Entirely undertstandable, the whole wall is damp, and even the surface mount BT box gets musty. "We'll arrange an OpenReach engineer" - this on Monday - "please hold". Back them come "the earliest we can do is tomorrow 1-6pm". Yes! says I. And lo, an engineer has just called to say..... he'll be with us in around 45 minutes! I think I should buy a lucky dip for tonights Euromillions just in case!
