Lost connectivity to my HomeOffice B/B yesterday late afternoon.
Tried router reboot without success.

Called the Service Line this morning, and after a few minutes was asked
to reboot the router. Success!

He wouldn't tell me what he had done, but laughed and denied that he had
removed a vacuum cleaner plug.

Should he? If he fixed your service, surely that's what you pay for.

I can see that you'd like that, but it's certainly not part of the
contract.

You can satisfy some of the people some of the time... ;-)

No. You were the one who said 'He should be required to tell you what he
did.'

I'm saying that although you might prefer that, it's not part of the
service.

I'm not. But I think that the real problem is that you either don't
read, or don't understand, what I wrote, which was plain enough, or you
don't understand the context, which is also perfectly plain.

Agreed,
The OP purchased the repair to his kit.
He didn't purchase training in how to repair his kit.
