So once again our copper telephone cable has been stolen by metal thieves... 4 more days using only limited connections -.- however since it's been stolen 4 times in the last year we get a shiny optical connection fitted instead of copper! My tiny little village which was at the bottom of the list is now top!

To celebrate this and as a late bday give away as I was broke last month >.> I will be giving a game (excluding the witcher2 ofc) to the person who gets closest (within 30 minutes) of my reconnection time :P (max 3 guesses per person) if nobody gets it I'll use random.org

::EDIT::

Ok apparently my net will be staying down till the engineer comes out in a week today soooo
What time will he arrive 7am-7pm if nobody is within half an hour it goes to random. people who already entered will get both entries submitted to random if they want to choose a new time >.<

Congrats on getting optical now (despite the outages you had to go through).

My guesses (going from optimistic to pessimistic):
1) Thursday at 3:00 PM your local time.
2) Friday at 1:30 PM your local time.
3) Monday at 3:00 PM your local time.

Also, happy belated birthday!

Now they'll cut the fiber line just to get back at the telco for not using copper again...

Fibre in our area was supposed to be ready for 31st March, there have been loads of Openreach vans about lately installing it. New green boxes everywhere but according to BT now it is going to be the end of June. Hopefully Sky will be an LLE (piggy backing the BT network essentially) from the word go as they are officially launching their fibre via the BT network start April apparently.
1 - Thursday at 10:30.

2 - Friday at 10:30:

3 - Thursday at 2:30.

Happy late birthday!

Happy belated birthday wodmarach. Can't believe what some people will do for metal to sell to make a quick buck. Anyway I guess it will be Friday at 2 PM, Friday at 3 PM, or Monday at 11:30 AM

To be honest, If they are going to insist on nicking the wiring, I'd rather it be the phone lines than the train signalling wires (which they have an annoying habit of doing down here)....

And you'd think the cable network couldn't put some bobby traps around the copper wire, like mines or something. :P

They were stealing sewer shafts a few years ago. It made driving in the night a bit risky since many of the shafts are in the middle of a street. You wouldn't want to hit one with your car at night, because if you do, forget about driving your car for a week or two until it gets fixed.
Weds: 2:30pm

Thurs: 1:00pm

Fri: 12:45pm

Happy late birthday and thanks!
I want fibre optic >: BT don't even have an estimated date for my area.

Guessing:
#1 Friday @ 4 PM.
#2 Saturday @ 10AM because BT are crazy.
#3 Monday @ 4 PM.

And happy birthday!
Blind guessing:

(1). Thursday at noon your local time.
(2). Thursday at 17.00 or 05.00PM your local time.
(3). Friday at 15.00 or 03.00PM your local time.
