The change to a greater bit rate has helped a bit, but it didn’t resolve the problem of our being unable to access the internet while the TV was on. Martyn has now hard-wired the TV box to the router, and I think that has helped.
Today our new SIMs arrived. In order to continue our mobile service, we’ve had to move from one department of BT to another, expecting that the old numbers would have moved over automatically. Oh, no! After endless fannying about on line, and after Martyn had grovelled through the garbage to recover his old SIM card, I got on to BT customer service to enquire what we had to do to get continued service. Half an hour later, after yet more muzak on hold, we think it’s sorted, but must wait till some time tomorrow to find out whether it has worked. Paciência.
We’ve had a modest fall of snow, so haven’t been out and about much. I did venture out to the shops yesterday, and as usual the worst part of the drive was the slope down the hill to the through road. I used to be able to defrost the car by using the app on my mobile phone. That no longer works, so that’s another item on the list for the Renault shop.
OK, we’re elderly, but we are compos mentis and not stupid. We’re also grateful for all the wonderful things that technology has given us. But bloody hell: it’s often hard to get - and keep - it working as it oughter.
