Has anybody got anything good to say about BT?

I know people tend to be more vocal on forums about complaints rather than complements, but this forum does seem to be the most biased I've ever encountered.
Admittedly BT are the worst company I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with, and all the negative feedback is rightly deserved, but there must be something positive to say, surely.
As I'm stuck with BT for at least the next year, I'm just trying to alleviate the pain a little bit.
The only positive thing I can think of during my whole tawdry experience with BT was the Openreach engineer who came to fix my fibre connection. He turned up at 12.45pm (the appointment was from 8am to 1pm), and spent an hour and a half down a hole in the road, in the rain, fixing the splice in the fibre which somebody else had done incorrectly. He told me that he was only one of two engineers in the area who could deal with fibre optics, as others had been trained but found dealing with those fiddly little fibres a bit too much for their big old sausage fingers.
He was the only BT person that I've dealt with that knew what he was doing, just got on with it and didn't try to palm me off with excuses or onto some other dept.
Anybody else got anything positive to say?

  • New to apple-Do you all have anything good to say about your macs?

    Wanting to expand from our love of the ios iphones and ipads to the world of macintosh macbook pros and imacs but as I read on these forums it makes me want to stay away due to all the problems.
    I thought apple was famous and expensive for its engineering, design and quality. Has anyone got a Mac that worked or wasnt defunk for one reason or another? Convince me to not run back to my Sony Vaio. I thought apple was supposed to be better than pc? Please tell me it is because I want to get a macbook pro and an imac and fully get intot he apple ecosystem, but all this b**ching makes me think its just as bad as windows.

    ata,
    I just wanted to chime in and give my iMac experience.
    1. I was on pc's for 13 years. Got my first, and currently only, iMac in April of 06 and haven't looked back
    2. Four years later, it still runs like a champ and no hard ware failure.
    3. Less system resources taken up by anti-virus apps and other security apps so more resources are available for the work I want to do.
    4. No mystery files or apps left on my desktop after internet browsing.
    Now, was it a night and day difference in my workflow? No. Here's why: The apps that I use pretty much have the same layout and functionality as they did on my PC. So, to edit a photo or create an animation involved the same steps as before.
    During my PC days, I would reformat my harddrive at least twice a year if not more to get the PC to run at it's original optimal speeds...not necessary with the iMac. Just download Onyx (backup first!) and run the cleaning apps. That's it. No, Onyx has never deleted anything I wanted to keep, backing up is just a precaution. I'm not saying you even have to use Onyx, I'm just a little obsessive about file build up...
    A lot of PC vendors like to install their own bloatware which is why some pc users will reformat and reinstall the OS right after they bring the unit home. Again, mac doesn't do this.
    I know PC users that have just purchased a new unit which does not include the backup cd's for the original hardware...that doesn't make sense to me. My mac came with one install disk that included ALL the software that was installed on the machine at the time of purchase.
    I think you'll be happy with the mac.

  • Nation advanced search on my IMac, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of

    I just caught a thing called nation advanced search on my iMac computer, which I think is a spyware. When I want wo go to google chrome it redirects me to this ominous nation search engeen. Has anybody got some information about it and how I can get rid of it? What does can it do to my data and is it really a spyware? I just found information in youtube, that it is a spyware, and that it has to be removed, but the information they give for the removal is just working for PCs not for Macs.
    Please help!

    Thank you all for the friendly assistance provided.
    I have found a solutiton to the problem I was having.  I hope that many more can benefit from the information I will provide.
    I started at Finder, then went to GO selected COMPUTER and then Machintosh HD, then Library, Scripting Additions folder and trashed all that was there. This is what worked for me, if you choose to not delete your content its up to you.  Happy Computing.
    God Bless!!

  • Nothing but good to say about 5G...

    I know "help" newsgroups such as these only mention doom and gloom and are geared for solutions to problems people may be experiencing with a product. I would like to say I have nothing but good to say about my 5G.
    1.) I took it out of the box and put a Belkin PDA screen protector on it (cut to size). This will remain on it until a proper case comes out for it. The sleeve that comes with the 5G was a welcome addition- I wish my Nano came with that.
    2.) Everything works as expected on the 5G. I lot of people here in these forums are having problems converting video and transferring them to the ipod. I should say, most people are having encoding problems. I am using the newest version (0.8.1) of Videora iPod Convertor. I didn't monkey with any of the default settings and just read the instructions (read the god da#* readme, people). The software (which is FREE, I might add) converts an average three minute song in about 60 seconds on my computer. The default settings (the settings I am using) are : MPEG 4/320x240/768kbps stereo/128kbps
    3.) Importing the finished video to the 5G was a little tough to figure out, but I did, eventually. The trick is to get the video to appear in the video section of itunes. To do this, open itunes, click File, then click "add file to library." The video will now be imported into itunes AND will show up in the video section. The video section has subcategories as well, such as music videos, movies, podcasts, and tv shows. To get your newly imported video to show up in the proper subcategory, click on "ALL", right-click the video you want, select info/options/video kind. In video kind, a drop-down list will appear with the categories.
    All the videos I have converted with Videora play absoleutely perfectly. No pixelation, no stuttering, and the sound is wonderful. I can't understand why everyone is having so many problems. Just make sure you ahve the latest version of the software.
    The ONLY complaint I have is with Apple's software. I purchased QuickTime Pro 7 to encode my videos for my 5G. Well, QT7 Pro only encodes like 5% of the video, the program than doesn't respond and eventually crahes. This REALLY pi%*es me off and I kick myself in the a*s for spending 30 someodd bucks for this shi*%y software when FREE Videora does what I need for free. I am going to see if I can get a refund (fat chance, I know).

    I Second That about Reading, people just don't want to take the time to read how this apps work, they just want to post questions here, expecting for a quick answer.
    I Love the New V-iPod and so far two of my movies are playing just right.
    I Posted instructions for Mac user and they still can't get it.
    Good Luck.

    Hi there! Am I alone having troubles with kids' app Little Pets Shop? Crazy invoices with €89,99 the "Wonderful Mountain"!! Has anybody got an idea? Thanks a lot

    One of your kids made an in app purchase that you did not know about. Some apps include in app purchase and games do this quite often. The game itself is free, but you might have to purchase additional items to enhance the game or to unlock certain levels.
    You can prevent this from happening in  Settings>General>Restrictions>In App Purchases>Off.

  • My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    My music files etc were all located on my old laptop which was stolen. I have just plugged my iphone in to my new computer and it has deleted all my files. Has anybody got any ideas on how to retrieve the files?

    WINDOWS?
    Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
    In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
    In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
    Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
    Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
    Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
    And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
    might be out of date worth a try

  • EZDrummer and Leopard compatability. Has anybody got it to work.

    Just got my Mac mini and have been trying to get EZDrummer to work in garageband 08. I open up garage band and use a software track, but when I drop down the instrument generator there is no EZDrummer option anywhere.
    Has anybody got this to work? If so what version and am I doing everything right in Garageband?

    While I'm not on Leopard (got the disc, still waiting till the coast is clear) I did hit a few bumps in the road w/ EZD initially. I believe I had to update to the latest version, but now that that's cleared up, the program works great. Try dropping an email to Toontrack, their Customer Service is outstanding.

  • Has anybody got their 808 to work on Consumer Cell...

    Has anybody got their 808 to work on Consumer Cellular?
    Consumer Cellular uses the AT&T network.
    My phone works making or answering phone calls.
    I can access the internet from Wi-Fi.
    But I cannot access the internet from 3G.
    Consumer Cellular emailed the settings to my phone.
    I saved them and made them the default.
    I re-booted my phone.
    But I get “Connection failed.  Connection unavailable.”

    Have Consumer Cellular send you a configuration text message.
    When you open the text message:
    Your Pin Code is the last 4 digits of your phone number
     select SAVE from Options
    Set as Default Settings? Yes
    Then:
    Settings
    Connectivity
    Settings
    Network Destinations
             (you can copy to another destination, change Priority, etc.)
    Internet
       your home Wi-Fi
       ConsumerCellular
    WAP Services
       your home Wi-Fi
       ConsumerCellular
    If you see AT&T anywhere, delete it.
    Moderator's notes: You can get the micro SIM card from your operator, it is not advisable to cut it yourself as it may not work or cause damage to the device.

  • Has anybody got a solution?

    My ipod touch works very well accessing the you-tube using the factory built in browser[you-tube widget].
    I tried to go to the you-tube account of mine logging on through the google account using the safari.-No problem in getting to my account.
    However once I am in my you-tube account and when tried to play my favourites [selection of clips], I am prompted to down-load the "Adobe Flash Drive" to play my favourites.
    To cut the long story short, I could not play my favourites through this route.
    This is a big dissapointment.
    Has anybody with a solution to play your favourites from the You-Tube account on your iPod Touch?/
    Thanking you

    iPod touch does not play flash, there is no plugin or program to do so.
    The youtube widget takes you to a customized version-where the videos are encoded in h.264 for viewing on the iPhone/Touch. Not all the videos have been encoded for the site.
    Who knows what will happen once the SDK comes out.

  • Has anybody got a camera memory stick stuck in DVD

    Has anybody put their camera memory stick in the DVD?  If, so how did you get it out?

    Yes unfortunately this happens all the time, go to youtube and look for various solutions. Below is a link to one method. The most obvious is to turn the machine off, unlplug all connectiosn and turn the machine on it's side and shake it out. If that isn't viable then either take the machine in for service or use one of the youtube suggestions.

  • Has Anybody got an Agent 18 or Speck Toughskin !!!

    Hi there All,
    I've already put a post up about this. but that was before cases were readily available and no one had them, i'm this close to buying either, all i want to know about the Agent18, how tough is the case, will it crack or smash under pressure, the reason i want to Know, i'm going snowboarding, it will be kept in my chest pocket wrapped in a beanie with a hand warmer to keep it warm. anyone who has this case, please give me some info on it.... The same with the Speck Toughskin, how well will this hold up to a weeks boarding.... anyone with either of these cases please give me some info....
    Thanks!
    - Mike

    I have an Agent 18 case and I must say I'm very pleased with it. It seems very durable and provides good pretection on all corners and sides. I believe there was a post a couple weeks ago where someone posted pictures of their Agent 18 case. The question of course is would the case pop open I you dropped it from X feet? I don't know and I dont think I want to test it either, but it provides good protection in pockets and small bumps and hits.
