>I've just spent 40 minutes repeatedly redialling to get onto BT
Internet's
>premiumrate rate help line.

That's nothing....

I spent 1.5 hours trying yesterday to get a phone number for a supervisor
in
customer services. Guess what ?     They are NOT on the phone you can only
write in !!!!

Why do I want to speak to someone in authority ?

Since you ask I will tell you.

Three months ago my system crashed and I had to re-set-up my router, but I
did not have any of the details phone number, DNS etc, so I rang the help
number, explained I was on anytime HH using a single channel and was given
all the details.

Everything worked fine and I thought nothing else about it until yesterday
lunchtime.

I noticed my router had locked out - network problems, I reset it a few
times and it connected, I thought I will look at the BTinternet pages and
see if there was any reason for the interruption of service.

And here is where my day turned bad.....

I accidentally clicked on the wrong FAQ page which revield the phone
numbers
for connecting, the number I was using was listed for ISDN 128K, but the
number I should have been on was ISDN 64k SINGLE CHANNEL :-((

Quick call to 150 to find out what my up coming phone bill will be ?530 !!

So that premium rate call three months ago has cost me ?532.50p !!!!

I will not be judge and jury yet as I don't know if BTinternet will do the
honourable thing and pay for the call charges yet.

John
