Dawlish News
@gamer @Gadget . The website was still telling me it's not available so I called BT sales. She told me the same and she had no information as to when it will become available. Computer says no... reminded me of why I got rid of BT all those years ago. I just checked a random address on Strand Hill and it told me that it was available so it must be that I'm not connected to one of those ...
