He's only a trainee, so his responses may be a little... ruff...

Hi all - we've had rucks of BT customers on the phone today complaining that their emails aren't working - BT have confirmed the following on their login page ( www.bt.com/btmail ):
"Sorry, but we're having problems with BT Yahoo Mail. We're working to get them sorted as soon as possible."
Annoyingly, we can't help with this, but if you're with us for internet, you get our email service and support :)
Anyway, here's Joey after a bath:

We have now been advised BT/Yahoo mail is working again. Good opportunity to consider moving mail accounts to something better (Hotmail/Outlook or Gmail) or if you want a fully supported box PCQ has options from free to small monthly flexible fees :)
Hello Joey x
SCAM/FRAUD/WARNING: Lots of rogue Microsoft sellers out there doing the rounds again!
We have seen two cases this week alone in locally in Powys (never stops online as always flooded with online sellers especially eBay and Amazon!).
Please share post to make sure your friends don’t fall victim as sadly so many fraudsters out there.
Purchasing cheap Microsoft Office products is worse than having just pirated the software as you are enabling fraudsters to profit/cheat you. Cheap purchased licencing isn’t worth a penny as you are not legally licenced and places you at risk.
Don’t stand for it, seek professional help. PCQ offers free assistance for checking your licences and personal/business compliance. If you want peace of mind please drop in or call 01686 411000.
Having reported it you are safe from the authorities and better still you will likely be awarded genuine software as a thank you for having reported it to Microsoft or the BSA.
Microsoft Office never is “Free” or “included” or less than £59 pounds (unless on monthly subscription)
Worse cases are those selling “extremely cheap” licences online claiming to be 100% genuine and legal, this is false. Even if your software says “activated” this is in no way confirming you are legal!
For a quick price guide:
Cheapest Office 365 is “personal” at £59.99 a year (or business for £7.90+vat per month)
Office 2019 edition’s start from “Home & Student” is £119.99 or Home & Business is £249.99
Office Professional 2019 is £419.99 or Professional Plus is approx. £1000 (volume licence only)
If you see any suspicious offers for software at very low prices, from sellers such as on Amazon/eBay along with independent businesses, don’t trust it! You will only waste your money by paying for non-legal licence.
If you think you have bought into non-legal software, please get in touch with us or go directly to the Microsoft piracy team and the BSA. You will likely be awarded a full and legal version of the software you thought you were buying and assist the rogue seller being shutdown to save anyone else falling victim.

The market is flooded with non-legal volume licencing, avoid buying cheap. Make sure you only use trusted software partners such as PCQ for all your licencing needs.
If in doubt drop into our office, phone 01686 411000 or email our 24/7 team support@pc-q.co.uk for free help. Handy to have a copy of any invoices/advert to assist any legal cases.

Our reviews
-
Been with PC-Q (? 4 years) a while now for broadband. Went over to their landline service as well. Most calls are wifi calling on mobile phone contract so works very well for us. I don't underestimate the value of having extremely competent people at the other end of a local phone -
Great customer service and they are there if you need them for support any time. So much easier than dealing with a massive company.
This review is based on purchasing work laptops and they are our internet provider also.
- Excellent, reliable service. People can't believe how fast our broadband is.
- Brilliant service, no problem to big. Would totally recommend to any and everyone.
- Immediate response to a problem over the bank holiday weekend. Could not have coped without Jason getting me back on line by remote action. Exactly the service you want and need in desperate times. Thank you so much.
- Fantastic service with my son's graphics card. Very helpful and quick. Many thanks.
