has anyone heard of a scrambled phone line ?
I moved to Tiscali over a year ago now and they installed a phone line for me as the house has never had one (only ever had cable)
so Ive just gone to move direct to TalkTalk (who now own Tiscali) wait it gets confusing lol
and they say the phone line has been scrambled and I need to pay £60 for an engineer to come out and unscramble it :err: although this drooped to £30 as TalkTalk would fund half the cost so to get me as a customer
apparently they are well within there rights to do this to phone lines and only need tell you when you are about to change supplier
I said to the guy "why the hell would I give you £30 to get me as a customer from a company that you already own lol ??
just wondered if any of you guys have heard of this scrambling of phone lines
