30 January (Part 3) - Still cut off from the web
If you are seeing this it’s because a friend has allowed me to use
his Virgin net connection and Internet Explorer has been successfully put in a
sort of reverse mode to allow Bonkers to be published.
Every last bit of the equipment at my end has been changed - it helps to have
the Technical Director of an ISP as a personal friend - so it looks as though
the Openreach man
might have been right when he suggested the problem could be in BT
Wholesale’s territory. It may be quicker to install broadband on my second phone
line than wait for this one to be fixed.
A phone caller suggested that Bexley council has arranged for my connection to
be sabotaged. Have I come under the notice by GCHQ? I would doubt it but given
the degree of state surveillance this country suffers these days, nothing can be
ruled out absolutely. But I’m sure it will turn out to be something far more mundane.
