At least that what it feels like without broadband.
Having moved into a new flat just before I left for holiday, I decided to leave getting hooked up with a fat pipe until I got back. So it’s been a couple of weeks now and I’m starting to get the shakes from being offline.
Not only does it make working from home an impossibility, but even the most mundane things, like finding a company phone number, become a mission. I even had to use the Yellow Pages the other day. The indignity of it!
Still, I’ve signed up with Telewest now and, despite some truly shocking customer service, I’ve received all the bits and pieces and am ready to set up my wireless network at home.
It’s good to be back!
