Also we have Ian W, Dunk, Rick, Kev and Matt in London, they are putting the final touches to their plan for moving Parbin out of their legacy data centre and into one of ours tonight.

1. Router configuration – Always a favourite; a lot of calls today from people who have either have just received their equipment and don’t feel comfortable with setting it up themselves, or people who have purchased new equipment and want to confirm the settings.
2. New faults – We have received quite a lot of calls today from people with new faults. There has been no pattern with these but a lot of intermittent faults which have been quite likely caused by stormy weather in parts of the county.
3. Fault updates – The usual amount of calls from people calling for an update on their outstanding fault, although people are aware of the time scales involved there is an ever-increasing reliance on the internet meaning people really miss their connection when it’s not working.
4. Email set up – This is usually a follow on from router configuration calls, people who are wanting to set up their email account on their PC who either aren’t aware of the guides available on our website or who don’t feel comfortable with working their way around their computer.
5. Provisioning updates – A number of customers calling to see when they will be on line.

Next up, James from the Web Dev Team
