The satellite installation in the west country has been the biggest earner for BT over many years. Peter Bonfield selling off what was then called BT mobile was a huge business disaster! A typical corporate story - bottom line fiddled by bean counters, and sod the service from whence the company evolved!

Firstly all this spam filtering nonsense, then the fact that I keep getting emails telling me I don't appear to be using my 'free' 50GB cloud storage...which I am not using because the bloody BT cloud app is written in Qt and as such is not accessible. And don't get me started on Indian call centres, where I am forced to try to believe the bloke I am speaking to is called 'Steve' or 'Kevin' when clearly it isn't. Which is insulting to both me and 'Steve'. And because English is his second language he can only follow a flow chart which has answers to questions asked by 90% of the muppets who phone them, but not the questions asked by the 10% who, like me, have a technical question, or more often a complaint. I am seriously thinking of ditching BT and moving to somebody else if I can keep the same email address. BT just don't listen to their customers.

What is irritating is that on our BTInternet address which we do not use and have never used we have recently received an increasing number of spam on the BT address. As we have never used it the only conclusion has to be that it seems BT are the culprits and are guilty of spamming us and I suspect many others. We may bee soon seeking for alternative options to BT. CJ.

I spoke to Mo and he suggested this might be BT's over-zealous spam-filtering, which is incredibly hard to turn off because the site is not very accessible and the setting is buried deep, a bit like the Vogon's planning application to demolish the Earth. So I have unsubscribed from access-uk on BT and rejoined from my raspberryvi account. I am instantly getting stuff from the list again. So if you're suddenly getting very little stuff from the list and you're a BT customer, it's their fault. Oh...of course...you probably won't get this message.
