Sorry folks this is a British thing..................

A couple of days ago I got a bird scarer/coaster from my ISP (British Telecom)................I actually read the crap that came with it, and noticed the "great value features" such as "15GB of downloads every month"...................................

I dug out my original contract oh dear................that says 1Gb PER DAY (which I guess is 30Gb per month?)

It would seem that my contractual agreement has just been halved, without any prior consultation, or reduction in the charges....................there is worse....................

"From early 2005, we will not be charging customers who exceed their broadband usage allowance as previously mentioned.What's more, since most of you will have enough usage allowance with your service package, we do not anticipate many of you having to pay anything extra once charging is introduced later on in the year"

I do so enjoy getting ripped off this festive season?

Why does the acronym OFTEL spring to mind? (that's the British government lot who slap telcos )

Merry Christmas to you all...............sorry I cannot spare you any bandwidth
