Oh, but I did. And more. Much more...

When the installation eventually happened, it all seemed to be ok. I
only used it sparingly, and even then did not use "bonding", so I
typically was only using one channel at a time. When We upgraded our s/w
to stuff that did bonding, whenever we asked for a 2 channel call it
failed. We spent *DAYS* pissing around withe the cards, s/w, cables etc.
Eventually, we asked BT to check the ISDN setup. They finally admitted
(two weeks later) that the second B channel was incorrectly configured
at the branch exchange, and hadn't worked as a digital channel since day
1.

Result? 1 years free rental. I know thats only 340 quid or so and
doesn't cover the costs to us, but its better than nothing...

They really are a bunch of useless tossers, sometimes.
