Seriously though, I bet there`s a few others looking over their shoulders. Personally, I can`t see how they can possibly sustain that package, the numbers don`t add up??

I'd have to agree Jeff...and MrSaffron on AG thinks so too !
The package was likened to a wild-west land-grab and I don't think that that's so far off the mark given that many people will sign up without realising onto £10 a month vanilla IP Stream BB package because hardly anyone has a CW LLU'd exchange...

I reckon a LOT of folks are onboard without reading the small-print

Not bothered about their broadband, just hoping that when they change the phone over it won't effect IDNET connection.

It seems it does, I did some investigation and found out that my exchange was one of the ones that CW has
got set up with LLU, which meant that I would not be able to keep IDNet (this is what I have been told)
so I have now cancelled my application with them for the time being.

Someone else has found a nasty piece of small print in the TalkTalk broadband T&Cs.

Iwas with TalkTalk and as far as i know AOL are better LOL
Talktalk are teh sux0r

I'm with Talk Talk for phone (it's cheaper for me as I call locally and internationally a lot) but won't touch their broadband. Funnily enough, the guy who signed me up (They were cold calling, but had called at our house three times by the time I got in from college, and he was nice enough) agreed with me when I said their broadband was rubbish and I was happy with IDNet.

For the phonecalls, I'm happy enough. Call charges last month of £6! (and that included two calls to America).

mrapoc · May 09, 2006, 15:33:34

im with them for phone but made the mistake of using their broadband - straight after 12 month (the next day) i migrated lol

mrapoc · May 12, 2006, 16:39:31

seriously though people need to be made aware of these - well scams

more and more people join up while others leave. i just hope they are not complete n00bs and stay with them for more than the year

Coopes · May 12, 2006, 18:57:24

If you sign up with them for free broadband it's an 18 month contract

mrapoc · May 13, 2006, 23:03:38

yeesh these guys have gotten more evil...er from since i left them - still with phoneline though - at least they can do something right
