Without actually saying what is optional this year beforehand. Effectivly a form of "cramming". I'm also having issues with their firewall changing. In that they don't appear to understand something along the lines of "You previously did X with IP networks A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H & I could you do exactly the same with IP network J?" They quote "5 working days". (Which is actually closer to "at least 10 days" since they typically sit on the change request for 2-3 days.) But in this case they came back after nearly 3 weeks with a query which would have been obvious or better made at least 2 weeks ago.

They are also only offering a couple of primary schools in East Devon 2M connections. When BT themselves can supply higher speed ADSL connections to both sites and another ISP appears capable of supplying fibre to the premises several orders of magnitude cheaper than the the numbers DCC were mentioning. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8q4JgACgkQsoRLMhsZpFd54ACfbf2WA/TWl0zzD9LesgBqZNlI oY0An0a0UYz4Kydm8m0dvD2SNzIbAqXQ =lZ6S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
