Ramblings of a retiree in France
Many apologies but I’ve been struggling to get our internet service re-established after it was cancelled by persons unknown.
I have twice been promised reconnection and I’m hoping it’ll be third time lucky on Tuesday, a week since we were cut off!
Luckily I had already scheduled some posts but I’ll have to suspend these now until Tuesday. Wish me luck, I certainly need it.
Update:
Well, today’s the day my « cancelled » WiFi service was due to be switched back on. However, it now appears that despite protestations to the contrary that there is a technical issue!
I’m suspecting Orange didn’t want to own up to this because my contract promises to resolve technical problems within 8hours. It’s now a week!
Fortunately my beloved has been able to access WiFi elsewhere and continue working but it’s been mighty inconvenient.
Have now resorted to lightning candles and praying – it can’t hurt, can it?
Super luck wished to you! ✌✌✌🤞🤞🤞

Annoying is absolutely right! If you read about a bloodbath at Orange you’ll know that I haven’t been reconnected.

We had no electricity after the big flood in 2016, so I took the computer to McDonald’s (where I NEVER go) and bought an ice cream cone while I typed away on their terrace.
Our Orange service was restored long after our neighbor’s Free was, by the way…
Good luck!

It’s very annoying, particularly when you didn’t cause it and have tried to get it re-established. You will prevail (hopefully sooner rather than later).

What an ordeal sorry to read this. Each story is diff but Orange has been great to me, just got a call from them to confirm my appt to change my mobile phone saturday. There is a technical line to call and a technician will do it over the phone and if not they will send one home at your charge; nver has to do this always fix over the phone. Hang in there what can I say..Best of luck
