Phone call claiming to be from BT Direct saying we needed to be disconnected from our old copper line and put on digital - this was actually done nearly 2 years ago! Asked why he didn't know and was told it hadn't been updated. Why you would you go with someone who supposedly runs the BT phone network infrastructure but can't tell that a digital landline has been put in 2 years ago? Kept going on about getting us on to a better supplier and he could get someone out (we have had problems with the digital line and BT have been useless and expensive) but then quoted us as even more and said it would be an investment. To be honest if you are going to start talking about changing the phone lines over and trying to get us a "better deal" that's more expensive at least get the information right to start with.

Claimed to be from BT, calling about analogue switchover. Told them we don't have any BT lines, then they switched to claiming we'd been overcharged because they hadn't been informed that we've changed providers. We haven't had any BT lines for over a decade.
