You also have to take in account that service was degraded: in 1992, installing a phone line (new, with wiring to the central) took 2 days. They came with two wiring trucks and there were about 5 people. And I didn't have to sign any `provision' or guarantee I wouldn't disconnect the line until N years have passed. Today, delays of 2.5 months are quoted in some cases, and not the most remote cases. And I am still waiting (after three days) that my phone connection in La Neuveville (at 43 CHF (ISDN) + 7 CHF (advanced service 24h)) gets moved in Cernier ... I would think delays like this are unacceptable. They seem to be due to Swisscom optimizing some costs, maybe in the attempt to raise more money. _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
