[BNM] [OT] BT Phone line reconnection

[Graeme Sutherland]

i'm glad it worked for somebody.
It was clear there wasn't capacity in the local concentrator and network
around it to give decent speeds, and  a series of denials and crap fud
customer service followed that until I ditched them.  At which point they
said it was a known problem and offered to give me a date by which it would
be fixed.
Just a standard customer service story, I guess.
