Maybe it's exchange congestion, James.

[Captain K]

Thanks James    Its taken me months to forget how bad things were at Tiscali.  I had just got over it, and my last therapy session was only last week, but after seeing that, the horror has all come flooding back!    I'm going to be in therapy for months to come!

I certainly don't miss Pipex.

[David]

have you tried the taking changing the filters at both ends?
Now flush the loo,
Now go outside and slash your wrists as there is no way your speed will increase unless you migrate which will prove very difficult as we do not stock macs in your size.
If the above fails please post our support team at doityourself.com who will just bounce you around,if this fails please call the phone number once connected you will need an interpreter,a copy of exchange and mart and a lot of patience..
Once you have extracted your mac code from us (the first one is useless) so try again.Once you think you are free we will then continue to relieve you of assets you may have in the form of DD.

Still want to leave ??/

Welcome to Tiscarleeeeeeeeeeeee

[Rik]

I feel a hint of revelation there, David.

[David]

  Think there is any chance of a job there for me ?or  the PR dept 

[Rik]

Definitely the PR department.

[Malc]

When I complained ( one of the times) about DL speeds, Pipex told me I didn't understand the difference between upload and download. 

He had an Asian accent. 

[Rik]

Probably from Bradford then.

[David]

I know what you mean Malc,I phoned one night and asked for extra room and a guy replied.I am jam packed full.

I shouted "I don't care what your name is "I want some room"

[Malc]

Probably from Bradford then.

Or Bolton

[Rik]

They don't see the need, Malc, they feel it's good for us.
