Free? Setup and Connection in "Get Connected"

Just to see if anyone had the "No connection Fee" experience with the recent BT's promotion in their "Get Connected" package.
My BT line was installed on 28th Jan after joining above promotion which was due to expired end of Jan 2010 and was extending, probably still going, in which the setup and connection fees are waived if signed up for 18 months, which I did.
The first bill came at beginning of Feb showing the full connection fee of £124.99, I had to call BT to sort this out, the voice at BT said, oops, discount show have been given, admin error !! The money will be credited in the next bill (28th Feb) and the options I was given were
1) Pay the full bill (as I've DD setup to do so already) then get the credit in my next bill - no chance, I rather keep the money in my pocket!!
2) Cancel the DD, suspend the payment, wait for next bill (with the credit), then everything will sort itself out - this was the option I then agreed.
However, I have lost out the discounts on line rental (From DD and paperless billing) and I can't setup the account till the Feb bill has been paid.
So from a BT admin error, it cost me both time (to sort this out on the phone and re-setup the DD) and money due to loss of rent discounts (and I don't know when I can setup the DD as the website is not allowing me to do it currently, may be due the the Account is being suspended).
What a hassle, all from a BT admin error !!

The situation is getting more and more in BT's favour!!
This month's bill (dated 28th Feb '10) has eventually available online on 2nd March. Correct, the £124.99 connection charge has been reversed but on the date of the credit, from the basic Weekend only package, I'm now on Evening & Weekend Package costing an extra £2.99 per month - which I absolutely do not need !!
So I phone up and eventually spoke to a very nice gentleman in Billing Section, agreed to the, yet an operator error by enterring a "wrong" code causing the upgrade of Calling Plan. Also agreed to credit me with the manual payment processing fee of £1.50. Unfortunately, after over half an hour on the phone, not able to change my Calling Plan Back and said he'll have to pass it onto someone else to sort out the next day, which would be acceptable as he did genuinely want to help.
I kept a close eye on the Calling Plan details online over the last 2 days, all the changes (and credits) have been actioned and can be seen online, great, I thought, until I looked at the calling plans page. I'm now on 2 plans costing me a total of £23.08 per month !!!!
The Weekend only plan is £11.54/month which is correct, but I'm also on "the weekend + free connection package" also costing £11.54/month giving a total of £23.08 per month, I assumed this will start from the previous change date as requested by me.
The only way to explain all this is the BT System has been program in such a way that doesn't matter how had the operator tries, the end only way the changes can be accepted is by charging more month per month !!
Come on software guys (or is it management?), please sort this out, this is not accetable !!

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    Having participated in these boards for quite some time, I have to say that the iPhone 5 and it's newer cousins offer a Great product, from a creative and practical point of view.  My iPhone 5, including the various releases of iOS software has exhibited high quality and reliability.  Have I ever had a problem, issue or frustrating operational question ...Yes.  Have these problems, issues and questions been mitigated ...Yes.  I would say your list needs to add a little more emphases to the opportunity to exchange a non-working device rather than just return it.  People would otherwise be missing out on a very satisfying ownership experience. 

  • For a LAN network in my office, all laptops are Windows based and the internet is through LAN and other computer get connected with adhoc without the router. My Apple computer nor my iPhone 5 get connected. How do I connect to this Internet?

    In the office, All my colleges use Windows laptops. The Internet connection is out of LAN wire installed in one of the computers. Others use Internet by creating adhoc connection. However none of the apple products are being able to connect to this connection.How can i connect my MacBook Pro or iPhone 5 to this Internet network?

    Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
    I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
    All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

    Hi, I'm gonna bump this question as I have the same problem.
    I have connected to the internet by broadcasting my own signal and by setting up a closed network with my ipod in the past. Today I had the internet signal connected and working and when I tried the closed network, the ipod internet stopped working even when I switched back to the open broadcasted signal from my macbook pro.
    My ipod says it's connected but it doesn't work.
    I reset the network settings on my ipod. I restarted my ipod. I even restored my ipod using the back up I saved in itunes. Still, the internet doesn't work despite the fact I get the full blue bars in the upper left corner.
    I don't get a "safari can't connect" it just keeps cycling the circle next to the blue bars and nothing happens. My other applications also say things like "update failed" or "Cannot connect to Youtube"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I think I may understand. There is no password from Adobe for getting an update. So, I think this is the computer's own administrator password, which you will need when you install most software. You chose it when you turned the computer on the first time. And if you forget it you have bigger problems than Adobe Reader.

  • I have the ipad mini and can't get connected to gmail via the App. I could at one time and now it comes up: username or password incorrect

    Anyone know a solution for not being able to get mail with the Gmail App after it working for a while. username and password entered many times. 
    Very Frustrated.

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.
