BT engineers to strike?

El Reg is reporting that BT engineers will be taking industrial action over pay before May 27, initially in the form of a work to rule.

Hopefully, the impact will not be too great...

At least they won't be breaking things for a day!

Rik · May 15, 2008, 12:51:14

Optimist!

My BT engineer is on route from the other side of town. Should just get here before the end of the am slot (which is 1pm)!

Rik · May 15, 2008, 12:56:58

4 minutes and counting. Good luck.

Lance · May 15, 2008, 12:58:05

He has just pulled up!

Hopr they give advance warning of the date, so I can get all my downloading done on that day.

Timing!

It might be worth unplugging the router while he works, to avoid and profile drops.

We will hopefully have no problems then!

Does that mean they will be working faster or slower or not at all or even, they will be working a bit.

Rik · May 15, 2008, 19:18:28

We're hoping it means they stop breaking things, Den.

Work to rule?
Will we notice the difference then ?
Even an improvement maybe ?

Sebby · May 16, 2008, 00:53:37

Quite possibly.
