This very quiet and unique retrofit in-line shower booster boosts poor taps and showers with low pressure by increasing and regulating pressure without major changes to your plumbing. Its for Gravity Showers, for Electric Showers, and for taps and showers supplied by taps and showers from a Combi Boilers
Transform your poor tap flow or pathetic dribbly showers with a pump the size of a golf ball which does the same job as power showers the size of a football.
Shower Power Boosters can be bought on this web site but for a detailed product description of our full range of pumps for electric showers, combi boilers, radiator boosters, accessories, upgrades and spares, go to www.showerpowerbooster.com
A single pump can improve a single tap or shower or every tap and shower in a home. It is different because it is unique (there really is nothing else that comes close to it, its British, with a UK Patent Granted). It can legally be fitted to either mains supplies or gravity pipes because it is a shower booster which can 'intelligently' boost yet not impede existing flows, with no risk of cavitation, or burning out when it runs dry, or when it runs against a closed valve. These are all problems we have solved with this invention and our rivals have not. We have fantastic customer feedback and thousands of customers who found this amazing new solution a brilliant way to solve the age old problem of dribbly taps and showers. We give a 3 year warranty and a money back guarantee but it will work and it is designed to last a lot longer (but should it break down spare motors are available from £15 and these can be fitted by the customer in minutes using just a standard screwdriver)
The pump has won world wide acclaim, selling in 5 continents in the world. It was awarded best water innovation by Imperial College London at the Institute of Physics in London 2012.
A new concept in plumbing, invented by Alan Wright CEng. MICE, it solves your low pressure and flow problem for taps and showers. Do not put up with low water pressure or poor flow, forget big noisy expensive power showers, forget major changes to your pipe work, and forget the high running costs typical of older power shower pumps or shower boosters. Fitting is easy and quick reducing the work a plumber needs to do or for DIY its perfect. It has the lowest running cost of any power shower, and it is so very quiet. More importantly it gives you a really great refreshing shower and amazing improvements in the flow from taps. It can be fitted in minutes for a permanent solution and at a size typically 1/20th the size of normal pumps it can fit anywhere, at any angle, and in any direction, including under floorboards, in the loft, under the bath and will boost water pressure in any pipe.
It is not a power shower but a shower power booster giving a good shower by UK traditional standards achieving results with good science and not big noisy inefficient pumps. Money back guarantee. We sell our pumps by personal word of mouth (and to people who stumble across our web site in the UK and as far afield as Australia) so you may not of heard of it before. We launched the new MK 2 fully automatic version of the pump in December 2013, March 2014 we received a 100% grant from the EU to visit India under a scheme to take energy saving technologies to improve the life of millions, we confirmed an exclusive UK licence deal with Flowflex for manufacture and selling in July 2014, we will be selling though major distributers throughout Europe in 2015, however, for now the only way to buy this product is through our web sites.
A Shower Power Booster will improve any shower provided the problem is pressure related but your problem may be greatly improved just by changing your shower head and hose first. If you want a low cost shower head or hose gauaranteed to maximise the performance of you shower visit www.showerheadhosesmixers.co.uk
We have a large number of help and explainatory videos which can advise you as to your particular problem and solution so if you want to know more please download our SPB information booklet.

The 12 volt pump is brushless with neodymium bearing and has a 3 year replacement parts warranty. The pump can be replaced by simply screwing out the old motor and screwing in a replacement.
Is Water Regulation Compliant to boost water on mains water.

Hi, we have found that when de-selecting the show download bar option, the video does not display in IE 8, but fine in other browsers. instead of the video in IE 8 a small white line is displayed?
Hi, we have found that when de-selecting the show download bar option, the video does not display in IE 8, but fine in other browsers. instead of the video in IE 8 a small white line is displayed?
Do you have a link to one that we can try? Switching off the download bar should not affect the output at all.
Have you also tried turning the download bar back on to see if it starts working again? I'm wondering if something else changed when you deactivated it.
i can't really post the url on here for NDA reasons, is there an email address I can contact you on?
The best way, for now, it to use the contact form at http://www.artiss.co.uk/contact.
ive sent the link through the contact form, please can this be looked in to as we are due to go live with the site on Monday and we can not have the download bar showing.
To add to the above I have tried adding the class to my own css to the display:none, this does the job for most browsers but as soon as it's viewed on IE8, the video doesn't display again. Also a border seems to be added to the frame in IE8 when the download bar is enabled, can this be removed?
If a border is added it's because of your own theme - the download bar output, which is basic HTML, doesn't add one.
I'll attempt to re-create the issue over the weekend but I don't, at the moment, have an IE8 installation to try it on.
Did you try it again after switching on the download bar? Does it start working again?
BTW, the URL you sent shows the download bar switched on - if it only happens with it switched off I'm not going to be able to re-create it.
i have now turned it off
Thanks. I've taken a look. Yep, you're right - under IE8 it doesn't appear. On your site. I've tried other sites where my plugin is in use (same set-up as you - responsive output and toolbar switched off) and the same problem doesn't occur.
All the toolbar adds are 3 HTML links. Switching off the toolbar just outputs the standard video code - no different to that output with the previous version of the plugin.
Have you tried the previous version of the plugin?

This is amazing. #rocketrescuerangers
Disney and Marvel mashups, LOVE IT.
You are upset that Marvel didn't announce stuff that you and other fanboys made up in your head and decided that they were going to announce; stuff they didn't even hint at in the months and weeks leading up to Comic-con. And no, articles on Latino Review from unnamed sources don't count at "hints from Marvel."
Disney realizes that it makes NO SENSE for them to announce big news (for Marvel or Star Wars) in the midst of three days of attempted "one ups" from other studios. None. At all. Why share the news cycle? And why (as some idiots seemed to think they would do) would they spill all of their news worthy info in one moment to a generation with the attention spans of gnats? Especially when it's a generation that will also find a reason to crap all over ANY announcement anyway ("WHAT? They announced 8 films and NONE of them feature Hawkeye's dog? Losers!") and will just complain a week later that there's nothing ELSE new being shared.
When Marvel announces a "Dr Strange" or "Captain Marvel" film it will be big news and they won't have to fight for the attention of a public who is currently being manipulated into guaranteeing that "Dawn Of Justice" is going to be totally awesome because they were shown a picture of a model in a Wonder Woman costume posing real good.
On a related note, comic fan are great. Fanboys are an embarrassment.
In Olaf's defense, it is a confusing sign. #olafsummervacation #pull #dontpull (at Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular)
I just saw the commercial for the new "Seven Dwarfs Mine Train" at the Magic Kingdom featuring sunglass wearing, fist bumping Dwarfs in what was obviously meant to make the Dwarfs appear more hip, cool, and contemporary.
So now we know that 17 years later a marketer can still suggest the "Poochie the Dog" approach and not be laughed out of their job.

The NCAA does not make decisions based on "connections". It has nothing to do with Towson and everything to do with the women's lacrosse rpi of the CAA. This decision was made 9 months ago, following the 2011 season.
Also, this thread has turned into JMU troll fans vs. Towson anyway.

I didn't see a discussion on this yet so I figured I'd start one. What were your guys opinions on the show? Who do you think they're featuring next week?

Added May 30, 2013
Aix En Provence,...
I used a bag pattern that I created for Sacotin : "Annie" which is a small bag (10" by 10") with a contrasting yoke and a recessed zipper.
I really wanted to use the Ghastly family print with it, feeling that the small size of the bag and the curves of the upper edge would go well with the print. But the print wouldn't fit on the main panel. So I made a little adjustment, cutting the yoke and main panel as one. I also omitted the zippered pocket at the back of the bag to preserve the print.
I really love the recessed zipper on this bag which is invisible form the outside.

"Wish I would have known about construction before I booked."
Reviewed Jul 31, 2014
A TripAdvisor Member |
This hotel was ok as far as an older location goes. The main thing I didn't like was that the hotel I booked online, looked nothing like the hotel I walked into. After being in a car with kids for 8+ hours, I expect to walk into at least some sort of calm, and I walked into a hotel that looked like they had just blasted the lobby area. The entire lobby was under construction. They were doing their best to keep it clean and neat considering the circumstance, but I wish I would have know this ahead of time, as I don't prefer to book hotels that are currently undergoing renovations.

"Has potential"
Reviewed Jul 29, 2014
A La Quinta traveler |
We have stayed at several LaQuinta's in the past and had a great experience. My sister had stayed at this hotel less than a year ago and recommended it. When we checked it was a surprise to learn that the whole lobby area is under construction due to remodeling. I don't think I would have stayed here had I been told of this. But I thought maybe that meant that the rooms had been updated already so we went ahead with our stay. The room was in poor condition. The positives are that the bed was comfortable, had a nice TV and appeared to be clean. The furnishings looked worse that what I have seen at garage sales. Every piece was beat up. The restroom had a two light fixture with a fan but only one bulb would work. We stayed for multiple nights and every day when we returned our key would not work in the door and would have to go to the lobby to get it "recharged". The breakfast area was also under construction & unfinished. As my son said it was a little sketchy. The free breakfast was the same every morning, but for free it's better than nothing. This hotel is in a great location for shopping and to KCI but right now it needs some work.

"Cubic zirconia in the rough"
Reviewed Jul 26, 2014
Rev Bill C | Fordland, Missouri
After another long day on the road, upon walking into the "lobby" of this hotel, I truly thought I was the subject of a "Candid Camera" episode. I thought that I had time-traveled back a few decades and was just waiting for Allen Funt to come around the corner and say "smile, you're on Candid Camera" :). Seriously, the "front desk" area looked as if a tornado had breezed through moments before my arrival. The front desk and "breakfast nook" area were in a state of a very make-shift arrangement. I later found out that the hotel was undergoing renovation ... which it clearly needed. The whole place smelled of sawdust and other construction materials. I was so travel-worn at that point, I decided to stay and take my chances. My first point here is that it would have been nice if the reservation clerk would have provided a little heads up about what I might find upon arrival when we made reservations. The "shock value" would have been less severe. Secondly, reservations seemed totally immune to our reservations request. We had reserved over a week in advance. As is our custom because I travel with so much equipment and luggage, we had requested a ground floor room, or at least one as close to the entrance as possible. So, what did I get? Of course; a room at the very end of the long hallway on the third floor. They could not have gotten our request more upside down. Still, I thought, no problem; I can just use the stairs to access an entrance close to the parking area. After all, a few three-story round-trips on the stairs would be good for me. Only problem was that the entrance toward the back of the hotel (where I had been exiled) was closed for entry -- supposedly due to the construction. My room was not clean -- certainly not what I've come to expect of LaQuinta. Furniture was terribly worn out, beaten up, etc., and the toilet -- well, I will spare you the details (Yuk). This was not a good travel experience for the reasons shared here. However, I can see real possibilities here; once construction is completed and if reservation staff can do better to meet traveler's needs. Hence; my title for this review, "cubic zirconia in the rough". Hopefully, new room furniture is in the plans for the renovation; and a bit of housekeeping staff training on providing the traveler with a pleasant and 'clean' experience. I will give this place another try next time I'm in the area. However, I will be sure to check if the renovation is completed yet; if not, I will look elsewhere. I'll also check if they've gotten any better with reserving according to guest preferences. If you're traveling to this area and considering this Inn, I would strongly suggest that you inquire as to the status and of the renovation. Then, "buyer beware". Meanwhile, here's my wish and blessings for your safe and enjoyable travel. Remember to be safe and courteous whilst traveling these crazy highways and byways. Somebody is looking forward to your safe arrival -- be it back at home or elsewhere. Rev. Bill, moreableinc.org

"2nd Time...Still Not Impressed."
Reviewed Jul 10, 2014
cincy814 | Manhattan, Kansas
We decided to give this hotel another chance since we're fans of LQ and it's conveniently located near the airport. How on earth this place got the TripAdvisor seal of excellence is beyond me. For starters, it was another weird check-in scenario. We were redeeming LQ Rewards points, and the lady at the front desk wouldn't accept my ID. Something about needing my husband's since his name was primary on the account. Which was funny, since she accepted my credit card with no problems! Never had this issue at any other LQ, ever. Second, the hotel is under construction and looks like garbage. No idea why they would try to remodel multiple places at once, but don't expect anyone to give you an explanation, or see a "pardon our mess" sign, etc. The breakfast bar now has no lights, so enjoy preparing your breakfast in the dark. The pool was freezing. We stayed in for about 5 minutes before we had to get out. There is no hot tub, which I guess I didn't notice last time. That's a shame - we were looking forward to that after an international flight. This is the first LQ we've stayed at that didn't have one. The room itself was ok. The shower was poorly lit and the furniture, walls and door all had huge nicks and stains. But the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Maybe when they get everything remodeled, it will be nicer? We're not willing to give it another shot. The entire staff seems like they are sad to work there. It's just a dingy, depressing hotel. We'll be staying elsewhere next time.

"La Quinta should be ashamed of this place!!!"
Reviewed Jul 3, 2014
slp007 | ga
First off, the place is being remodeled so there is construction EVERYWHERE. There is no lobby. Just a person behind a makeshift front desk. My room was 121, at the end of the hall in front of a NON-locking outside door. You know, the kind of door MURDERERS like to use. The room itself was pretty dreadful. Huge cracks in the walls. Dirty bathroom (hair and whatnot left from the previous guest). The toilet paper holder was broken so every time I used toilet paper it fell on the floor. There was a fire drill about 15 mins after I checked in. I was the only person who showed up for it. They said they were testing out the system and to ignore all future fire drills. I guess that means NO fires ever actually happen??? This place is a dump and should be CLOSED during renovations.

The U.S. labor market is in a malaise, but young adults are in crisis.
Though workers of all ages face economic headwinds, teens and adults under the age of 24, especially those with little or no college education, are faring the worst, economists say. The 16.7% unemployment rate among Americans in that group is more than twice the rate for workers 25 and older.
25-year-old Cody Preston has no college degree and had to move back in with his parents after going from job to job and landing in a low-paying and unsteady machinist job. WSJ's Conor Dougherty reports.
In the downturn of 1982 to 1983, unemployment among young adults topped 16% for 23 straight months.
The current slump has been longer and deeper: The unemployment rate has been above 16% for 32 months—and counting. For 29 of those months, the rate has been above 17%, reaching a record 19.5% in April of last year.
Paralyzed by a painful economy, some young adults have decided to forgo college degrees, graduate school or even the search for full-time work. Others are working temporary or odd jobs just to get by. Many have moved back in with their parents.
The U.S. jobs recovery has been the slowest since the Great Depression. Eight million jobs were lost during the last recession, but after more than a year of steady growth, we're still more than six million in the hole. WSJ's Phil Izzo explains
Unemployment is particularly acute for young men. In the 16 to 24 age group, 18% of males lacked jobs last month, compared with 15.3% of females. That is partly because the worst-hit sectors, such as construction, employ more men than women. Female-dominated sectors—health care and education, for example—have done better.
College graduates age 24 and younger, with a 7.7% unemployment rate, may be faring better than their peers who haven't been to college. But those with degrees are seeing little advantage from their advanced education, compared with workers older than 25 who have college degrees. That group's unemployment rate is just 4.2%.
Robert Pizzo
About Generation Jobless
Americans 25 and under face one of the toughest job markets in modern history. This week, The Wall Street Journal explores their stories.
If history is a guide, when today's young graduates do find a job, they will earn 9% less on average than if they had finished college in better times, according to a recent Columbia University study.
The worst-off graduates may be those from the classes of 2008 and 2009, according to Yale School of Management economist Lisa Kahn.
Companies that have resumed recruiting say they tend to focus on the most recent crop of graduates, rather than go through résumés from a few years back. Recruiters assume a recent graduate has fresher skills—such as experience with a computer program's latest version—than someone who graduated three years ago and hasn't taken refresher courses.
From College Major to Career
Here's a look at how various college majors fare in the job market, based on 2010 Census data.
The number of months that unemployment has been above 16% for teens and adults under the age of 24
There may be long-term psychological effects, as well. Unemployed people are more likely to suffer from a broad range of mental and physical problems. Studies have found that prolonged unemployment adds to the chances of reduced self-esteem, poor health later in life and even suicide.
Meanwhile, a National Bureau of Economic Research paper in 2009 found that people between ages 18 and 25 who experience recessions believe that success in life depends more on luck than effort, support government-redistribution programs and have less faith in public institutions.
Despite dismal unemployment numbers among young adults in the U.S., Americans in their late teens and early 20s aren't nearly as bad off as those in some other parts of the world. U.S. adults age 15 to 24 had an unemployment rate of 18.4% last year, below the European Union's 20%, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Spain the figure was 41.6%, while in Greece, it was 32.9%.
Job opportunities are more plentiful elsewhere. In Switzerland, just 7.2% of adults age 15 to 24 were unemployed. Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Norway also posted unemployment rates below 10%, as did Japan, Korea and Mexico.

The time has arrived. Baseballs, bats, hurdles and lacrosse sticks have been safely packed away as summer is officially in full bloom.
The 2014 spring sports season has come to a close at Andover High, but not before delivering another season of thrills and excitement.
It was a season that saw the baseball team advance to the Division 1 state semifinals — its best tourney run in nearly 10 years, track star Sebastian Silveira go from hurdles newcomer to starring at Nationals, Nicole Ericson return to the softball diamond and fine seasons from lacrosse to volleyball.
Oh, and then there was the girls tennis team, which took home a thrilling state title.
Here is a look back at some of the greatest moments and biggest stars from the 2014 Golden Warriors spring season.
Title town
What more can be said about the amazing season for the girls tennis team?
The Golden Warriors flew through the regular season undefeated, then multiple stars took turns coming through in the clutch to lock down the state title.
Whether it was Courtney Nash in the first round, Samantha Camilo in the North finals, Karena Yan in the state semifinals or the doubles team of Laurie-Maude Chenard and Sydney Ferry in the title match, when the meet was on the line, the Golden Warriors always found a way to play like champions.
Baseball breakthrough
With a combination of brilliant pitching and explosive hitting, Andover baseball advanced all the way to the Division 1 state semifinals, its best showing in the playoffs since the 2005 season.
Reid Bryant's complete-game three-hitter led the Warriors to an upset over Malden Catholic, Gabe Hernandez was the surprise hero with a game-winning two-run triple in the North title game and Sam Bennett was brilliant throughout, even in the state semifinal loss.

Can the EU really deliver power to the people?
Neasa MacErlean asks whether the new consumer directive has a sting in its tail
Friday 02 August 2013
One of the best-guarded secrets in the consumer world is the existence of the Ombudsman Service which can resolve disputes relating to mobile phones, energy and a range of other areas. And it is ordering companies to take remedial action – whether financial, non-financial or both – in 88 per cent of cases.
More than this, a new system of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is coming into place by July 2015 to cover all consumer disputes. This is the result of an EU Consumer Directive on ADR, which will "allow consumers and traders to solve disputes without going to court, in a quick, low-cost and simple way". So new schemes will have to be set up to cover, for instance, all of the retail sector, the whole of the home maintenance area (including plumbers and electricians), transport and water.
But there could well be a sting in the tail. In many of these areas, it may turn out that the suppliers can pick and choose the ombudsman or other ADR scheme that they want.
Adam Samuel was an ombudsman at the Personal Investment Authority and at the Insurance Ombudsman Bureau (IOB) in the 1990s. He says: "It is better to have something than nothing and an ADR scheme with zero credibility among consumers would be flushed out fairly quickly. However, the reality is that these schemes need customers, by which I mean businesses. This has always led to a risk of the firms leaning on the scheme. We had it all the time at the IOB. That organisation was in competition for members with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators' Personal Insurance Arbitration Scheme. So, in the early days, the IOB was probably far too firm-friendly, a necessary pre-condition to the growth of private-sector Ombudsman schemes."
But consumers seem to be well served at the moment by the two main ombudsman schemes – confusingly known as the Financial Ombudsman Service and the Ombudsman Service. Companies have no choice about whether to join the Financial Ombudsman scheme, and they have to abide by its formal decisions. This is the "only effective form of dispute resolution for consumers", according to Mr Samuel, as the companies involved have no power over the scheme. At the moment it is deciding about half the complaints it rules on in favour of consumers.
The Ombudsman Service deals with a range of areas – surveyors, estate agents, copyright licences as well as the two main ones it handles, energy and communications. Audrey Gallacher, the director of energy at the consumer body Consumer Futures, said: "It provides valuable help to consumers."
Citizens Advice – which deals with 90,000 energy problems a year and 55,000 on communications – recommends the Ombudsman in some cases.
Energy complaints to the Ombudsman were up 33 per cent in 2012-13 to 8,800. Just over 80 per cent of these related to billing. The Ombudsman is currently ordering remedial action – financial, non-financial or both – from energy companies in 93 per cent of cases.
The Ombudsman Service gives various case studies in its annual report. but most are rather technical. It does include a testimonial from one consumer who says: "Had it not been for the Ombudsman, I would never have got the money that was owed to me."
On communications, it ordered remedial action in 85 per cent of the 10,000 disputes it resolved. One case study in the annual report shows a company that increased monthly charges for a consumer from £48 to £203 in the second year of a two-year deal. But because there was no mention of such an increase in the contract the complainant had signed – the "key piece of evidence", in the Ombudsman's words – the company was ordered to maintain the charge at £48.
On communications, however, the Ombudsman Service is not the only ADR-provider. While BT, Vodafone and Tesco, for example, opted to go with the Ombudsman, Virgin and Orange preferred to join the Communications and Internet Services Adjudication Scheme (Cisas) scheme run by the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR). There are clear differences between the Ombudsman and Cisas schemes in the way they present themselves to consumers. The Ombudsman scheme is more consumer-friendly with up-to-date annual reports. Cisas appears far more tuned-in to the companies whose complaints it decides rather than consumers. The latest annual report published on its site was for 2010 – although after it was contacted by The Independent, Cisas put up on the site an explanation for the delay – "operational reasons" – and said a report would be available "shortly".
Lewis Shand Smith, the chief ombudsman at the Ombudsman Service, thinks it would be better to have just one scheme in a sector. He says organisations such as his have to be "absolutely rigid" to ensure that they do not let themselves be influenced by the companies whose ADR business they are trying to win. The communications regulator Ofcom has appointed both the Ombudsman and Cisas as approved schemes – and companies can choose between them. "There is always the risk that companies will play one of us off against the other," Mr Shand Smith says. "This is a case in which competition, instead of driving up quality, could drive it down and drive down the independence of schemes."
You only have to look to the audit sector to see that organisations find it difficult to stay independent from a company that they are trying to win business from. With more than a century of experience behind it, the auditing profession has never managed to quell suspicions that many of its members are too soft on companies they audit, because they are appointed by them.
Meanwhile, decisions will need to be made soon if the UK is ready to extend ADR services across the whole of the consumer sector within the next two years. One decision will need to be taken at the highest level: whether to encourage a number of schemes or to consolidate. A campaign has already begun, mainly behind the scenes, to concentrate all ombudsman services into three organisations – the Financial Ombudsman, the Legal Ombudsman and a Consumer Ombudsman.
CEDR offers adjudication schemes – ranging from funeral services to travel redress, the postal system and renewable energy – which operate quite differently to the ombudsman approach. The two sides present their cases and an independent adjudicator gives a ruling at the end. In the Ombudsman schemes, the two sides tell their tales to the Ombudsman, who then marshals the information.
Other issues need to be decided. Should consumers pay for these services? At the moment, the big ones – the Financial Ombudsman, Ombudsman, Postal Redress and Cisas schemes – are all free. And should all companies dealing with the public be forced to sign up? The EU directive envisages that schemes will be available but that, in some areas, companies could decide not to participate. This might be understandable for a plumber with five trusted clients, but it could be exploited by larger businesses.
Whatever approach is adopted, we are all going to hear a lot more about ADR. "It's going to be the future," says Andy Rogers of CEDR.
Case study: all hopes rest on the 'last resort'
Sam (not his real name) got a bill for over £1,200 from Vodafone when he was expecting no bill at all.
He had signed up for a deal that included free internet use. But his work takes him abroad a lot and he was using his mobile in Europe and Bangladesh.
After he made a partial payment and complained about the bill, he found that his phone was cut off within 24 hours. Vodafone told him that the free part of the deal related only to the UK.
Sam was told that he should have been aware of a condition that was explained on the Vodafone site: "As we've mentioned this on our website, we will not be able to waive any charges for you."
Sam found the company's approach "very harsh" and "arrogant". Starting off a complaint at the Ombudsman Service has been "easy" and has given him some hope, although it does not look as if there will be much news on his case for at least three months.
He is keeping his fingers crossed. Although he says "I feel I have a very strong case", he knows that it would be impractical to pursue his complaint in court.
He explains: "The ombudsman is the last resort as far as a formal recourse is concerned."
On paper, he seems to have a good chance. In six out of seven cases on communications issues, the ombudsman orders the telecom firms to take some remedial action.
