Creating multi Google Chrome profiles and running the site concurrently on each. The aim was to get a different queue ID each time, thereby tricking the system into allowing many entries to the Glastonbury ticket sale.
You kinda deserve the ban tbh.

Yeah, well you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
As someone who has tried legitimately, and failed to get tickets to popular events, I can wholeheartedly say you deserve it, and I hope Zen continue to ignore you.

Oh thank you. Well I've also failed for popular events even after spending all day in a queue only to be kicked out at the basket process.
Also I failed at the original sale and didn't even get close with 3 devices. After finding out many people used the profile trick to secure tickets it was a gamble I felt i had to take during the resale.
Im not a ticket scalper with a bot.
I finally got round to sending them an email as I was trying to be patient, Emailed him yesterday afternoon. Got a reply at 0655 this morning, he was very apologetic and has directed me to another manager, who's put me to one of their senior network staff who asked for some contact information. I provided all they needed and had a call within 20 minutes. They will be looking at sending out a team to do a site survey and they've asked me if I'm happy to work with my management company for the flats to assist them in anything that's required. Don't know how long it may take but it's looking promising. I've been told I will have a phone call in the next couple of days with updates.

Does anyone know if g.fast over copper is still a thing being...sold?
I'm currently on g.fast 150/30 service with Talktalk (UtilityWarehouse since January) which has been an excellent service for the past 5years, very stable.
I'm planning to move to Trooli for 2Gbit but just in case there are issues with Trooli/the service... I thought i'd check what my other options would be.
It seems as a new customer I can only order standard old VDSL, no g.fast services like I am currently on are being offered by anyone I can find.
It's occurred to me that g.fast might be being discontinued and maybe I shouldn't give it up so quickly.

Best talking to an ISP with actual knowledge, jump in the Aquiss thread the owner is active in there he'll know if he can place an order for it or not.
Technically its still an available Openreach product. In practice Openreach don't want the business as the remedial costs per circuit are insanely high and they pass that onto ISPs, who in turn can't make a profit on them due to support costs.
BT were warned* more than a decade ago that their implementation of G.fast was never going to be a sustainable/profitable product but as usual they only looked at sweating existing copper assets.
*by the people who designed & built G.fast SoCs (I contracted for one) - we told them they'd never get the results they wanted running it in the same cable bundles as non-vectored services (BT FTTC) but they didn't listen, created their own "extension" to the spec (which got ignored by mostly everyone) and ****** the best part of a billion quid away on services which required constant remedial work & never made a profit. The people at Adastral Park rarely listen....
My FTTP install started at 7:30am this morning. It is still currently ongoing. The guys are having a nightmare, First couldn't get to where the router has always been installed. They tried for a few hours for that. Then I stated they could just tie into a network port in the living room. That was done and dusted but have a full solid red LOS light. I asked him to get the fibre light on and its shown a hotspot on one cable and a break as it enters the termination box outside the house. He's away to start pulling new cables again. Poor lad not having a good time of it today.
Nice!Well the guys stuck it through and done a great job.
Now up and running.
Now it is time to update all the massive games I've been putting off.
Though your pings could be a little sexier.
