The Age of Technology!??

In this age of technology the changing of addresses and telephone numbers should be easy. The changing of electronic accounts should be easier.

For instance:
This is my new address, can I have a phone number please?
This is my new phone number can you put my broadband account on that line please.
There is a marker on the line Mrs Parkinson Can you remove it please?

You would think there would be nothing simpler than to fulfil these requests.
BUT 4 weeks later I am told that my telephone number is OK now and the marker that was there has now been removed but I still have to wait another 2 weeks for my broadband.
Well yes I could cancel my account but that will take to the end of February!!!!
Eh???

A'int technology grand?! Or is it the red tape and the people that cause the trouble?
I have my theories.

For now I am stuck with dial up and paying as I go - wonder if the broadband and telephone line providers will pay my bill.
Don't suppose the technology will let them.

Hmm, the spell checker doesn't like dial up! If I have made any spillinggg mestiks plese 4give.
