Hurahhhhh!

Yipee, wooo hoooo,and yayyyyyy!

Finally, amazingly, unbelievably, incredibly it has happened. My life is set to become unrecognizable, things will never be the same again, I will not know what to do with myself, I am dumbfounded, incredulous and gobsmacked.

After almost three years of false starts, broken promises and excuses my little corner of Scotland was yesterday dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century despite all it's previous efforts at avoidance.

Yes, amazingly, yesterday the great God broadband finally arrived here and not wishing to wait a moment longer by midday it was ordered, bought and paid for in gemmak's-ville!!! Can you believe it? At last it has happened....holy hell, you may believe it but I can't quite!

So, all that remains now is for Parcelforce to get the hardware here and for it to be installed. BT still have to do a little work on the line to our specific property to enable it to carry 2 meg and then it's all systems go.

Ok, so there was a worrying phrase in there, 'BT', they have promised that within 10 days we will be 'live' but I have experience of their promises and I won't be placing any large bets! It is though beginning to look very, very likely that at last, and not withstanding 'technical hitches', my 44kbps connection will be replaced with 2 meg. Hells bells and little fishes, did I say '2 meg'? 2 meg, I can't believe it.....2 whole meg !!

Bring it on!
