Good thing he wasn't employed by BT, or the game would have consisted of a man wandering round in circles, unable to find where he's going.

So, BT are Britain's main Telecom provider, right?
But, here's the funny bit: They're fucking useless at everything. Book a visit from an engineer, they won't turn up. Ask to have your address changed, they'll cancel your account. Ask for a MAC code, they'll give you a fake one (And that's if you don't just get cut off). Use their broadband, you'll be traffic shaped to the teeth. Miss a solitary bill and they'll threaten you with bailiffs.
Basically, the joke is BT are a bunch of cunts and I can't wait to leave.

Had to have BT in one of my student flats though cos the provider we wanted required a BT line. BT decided to fuck me around with cancelling the account, and the last bill was due the day after we all moved out, so I just snapped the card in two (we were paying using one of those weird BT payment cards that you take to the post office) and rang up a lot of long-distance to my pen pal in Hong Kong.
I never knew what the total bill was, but BT never tracked me down. The lack of payment wouldn't affect the next residents either, as the buildings were scheduled to be demolished.

You jest, but as a last-week laugh we broke open a shit load of glowsticks and covered the kitchen walls etc. Couldn't see it normally, but you could smell it.
Turn the lights off though and you could still see clearly, even in the dead of night.
We still got our deposits back so the caretaker never actually found out, guess he didn't check the flats at night...

I wouldn't have done it if BT hadn't been such arseholes. Basically when we were talking to a representative, they offered us a deal aimed at students where the minimum contract was only 6 months, not 12. We even had this in writing. But after nine months, when we needed to cancel, they wouldn't let us, saying the contract was for 12 months. They refused to back down.

You've obviously never dealt with BT. They started us on a new 12 month contract with them, all because they screwed up our home move, and cancelled the original one. It took me an hour of shouting the other night to get them to even admit we hadn't asked for the new contract.
It's getting to the point where I'm seriously considering trying to organise some kind of petition or something, because I honestly don't know a single person who haven't had trouble with them every time they've had to contact them. They need sorting out, and I'd really like to form some sort of pressure group to make that happen.

I'm game for terrorism if you are. We can organise a day in London, first to kill the CEO gets his head as a trophy. Person who kills most employees gets a t-shirt. Y'know, the sort of fun event we remember from childhood.
