Email problems

We've a faulty phone line.  Phone calls still work, but email and web access are pretty dodgy.  BT are going to come and dig up our lawn next week and put in a new cable.

Richard bought a dongle for G3 but that's nearly as bad.  I can read LJ (sometimes, when the moon is full and there's a following wind), but I can't seem to read comments at all.

Other web pages vary.   (see comment on phase of moon above...)

In essence, don't be surprised if I don't respond to emails or don't comment in your journals for a week or so.

The 3G Dongle is fine, but Judith's computer only has a very slow speed old USB port that results in a very low data rate.

No, sometimes it can't connect at all (ask Henry, he tried for me). I know the difference between a slow connection and no connection.
