ciphergothSo the BT engineer who arrived Friday said that the builders who gutted and re-built our house didn't do any of the things they'd need to do in order for a phoneline to be hooked up, and as a result there's going to have to be some sort of dealings between the freeholder and BT to sort it out which may involve ripping up parts of the road and will certainly take ages.

But at least you've got a backup plan - or found a backup option - and you could always implement rfc1149 to the flat across the road at a push ;-).
