oh yes, the good ship BT is sailing into port to take us all to the

Golden Land!


Except this morning, 2 days after registering, I get the mail below;


Has anyone ever thought of compiling a book on how comically,

pathetically, amateurish British Telecom are? it makes me weep.


and be careful; the openworld faq is particularly mealy-mouthed about

whether they'll provide full internet access, or just web+email, or some

pile-of-shite walled garden piss-portal. My guess is it's no napster, no

icq, no irc, no quake, in which case, I for one, ain't buying.

Dear Sir/Madam


Re : Your BTopenworld registration


For a short period yesterday a hidden area of the BTopenworld site

holding

the details that you registered was accessed by a limited number of

unauthorised persons. I am writing to apologise to you for this breach

in

security.


I would like to assure you that as soon as the problem was identified,

we

took immediate steps to secure the site.


We are writing to those people identified as having accessed this hidden

area to get written confirmation that they have not copied, used or

passed

your

details to any other person and will delete or destroy all copies of

this

information.


I can confirm that we are undertaking a full and thorough investigation

to

ensure that breaches of this nature do not happen again.


Once again our sincere apologies.


Yours faithfully


Robert Salvoni

General Manager BTopenworld
