I've been suffering this lack of internet banking for several days. One 
problem is that going on to the Barclays main number no matter whether one 
pushes the various buttons or waits until a voice appears the destination 
is always a call centre, and is then asked for the banking password. I 
haven't got a a telephone banking password. I asked the young lady where she was and the reply was India. I said I didn't want to be rude, but I 
couldn't see how she could help, as she was in India wanting to talk about 
telephone banking, and I'm in England wanting to talk  about internet 
banking. She said she would put me through to someone who could help.

Then followed many minutes of a message repeated at 40 second intervals that someone would come when free.
Eventually a voice said that they were having problems and that it would be put right. That was Thursday. Tried internet connection the following day, 
but still not working. Waited over the week end, and then found among my 
paperwork a complaints number that I had from a few years ago. It still 
worked,  had a problem not being able to give a telephone password but 
sorted out who I was, and I was put through, to 40 second interval messages. Gave up after a while, tried again in the afternoon, and surprise have a 
Tyneside accent speaking to me. He said that they were aware of the troubles we were having and it would be put right, but I would find it easier if I 
had a telephone password, they would send me one. Post arrived Wednesday, a Barclays letter, tear off this strip, scrape the surface, and read the 
number. There isn't one! I tried reading it under a bright light, coloured 
light, with white paper backing, with a watchmakers glass, nothing. So back to the complaints number. I must be able to read the number, did I back it 
with white paper? I assured her there was nothing readable there, and she 
said let's leave telephone banking, for many people who have had trouble 
logging on, she suggested going to Google, searching for Barclays on line 
Banking and clicking on the reply. The result for me is exactly the same:- 
failed to make SSL connection with Oregano, and currently unavailable with 
NetSurf.

  Reading other's comments on Fresco, I tried it, but no matter which of the three choices I used the answer is always, 'unavailable'

So I don't expect anything to happen over the holiday wait to see what next
week brings.
