I posted a while back about our trials getting our homeline and broadband moved. It was a nightmare but we got it sorted (thanks to Paul Brislen).

We've moved again - we were doing the short term rental thing until we moved into our new house. The experience this time was completely different. I booked the move for today and first thing this morning the phone line at the flat went off and the phone line at our new house was on and surfing at 11Mbs.

I've got to say this was the best telecommunications experience I've had. It's great to see that sometimes things do work out!
