It's not you, it's Demon or BT.  You'll find that if you try
to call at peak times you won't get a connection.  You might
get one if you try again immediately.  Sometimes I have to
try three or four times.  If I stay away from the hour from
6pm to 7pm I rarely get any such problems.

This appears to have started about a month ago.  I have to
assume that there's some sort of overcrowding going on at
peak times.

Simon.
