Moving Fun

Hi again.

Well I can honestly say that I am exhausted.
My kids are going wild and we are currently sleeping on the floor of our old place.

I had some fun with getting my new phone connected and lost my current phone connection with my old place.

You see it all went down like this.

I called Telstra to get my new phone line connected at my new house. I wanted to get this one as soon as possible so I can get my ADSL connected ASAP.
The I requested my old phone number to be disconnected on Friday Afternoon.

This went all to plan and everything was going OK.

But we had issues with moving to the new house (Here begins my issues with Telstra)

I phoned telstra about my moving issues and said if it was possible to cancel my disconnection of my old number as I had not moved yet and still want the number and I still required my ADSL connection.

I knew this was late, so I told the Telstra operator if it was not possible to cancel the disconnection due to the short notice, not to worry about it.

I also asked to make sure this will not affect my new connection at my new house.

I was assured that this would not be a problem.

Sooooo the telstra guy cancels my disconnection request AND my new number connection at my new place. (he tells me not to worry all is fine)

The after about 10 minutes he tells me that he cannot reconnect my new house number and I have a small chance of loosing my new phone number (that I just gave out to everyone)

And that It could take up to 5 business days to get it reconnected.... (I am a little mad at this point but i say hey at least i still have my old phone number and ADSL connection)

Now my sister comes over and asks me to help her setup her new laptop.
All is going fine when suddenly my ADSL connection just dies!!!!

I panic , thinking that 1) Teltra just disconnected my phone line.
2) I check the phone connection all i can ring out.
3) I can no longer get ADSL at all after checking all settings but the ADSL signal still exists on the line but no PPP connection exists
4) I got up to make a coffee and my wife tells me the phone is dead

5) I curse Telstra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
6) I curse Telstra again
8) and again and again

They make me soooo mad

Oh well thats life
