sorted - expect about a week and a half.  Mind you this was moving from
my dialup DSMTP to cable, but there was also a longish period of time
before they got the change in cable plans sorted.

After a lot (a LOT) of bitching and complaining (after many gentle
requests) I finally got to talk to someone who could actually do things
(as different to "I'll log it") and it was pretty much all ok in about 2
hours.  I managed to get the right person to talk to on a Sunday - sorry
can't remember the name, should have written it down so I could go
straight to him next time things go wrong.
