Malt 379 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 £500 for a consumer unit? Seems bloody steep to me, just to have one replaced... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 When i received my bill last year from them and saw that they charged me £250 for three 15min calls to Sri Lanka i told them to shove it. Its good to talk! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Funny enough I had a few troubles with them but it was soon sorted and a cash back from them as goodwill ..Need to speak to a UK call centre they sorted it all out very quickly .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

why jelly 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 All ISP's are money grabbing liars when it suits them so it's a bit of a minefield good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest lurchers&terriers Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 i dont know why you lot dont get mobile broadband. you get a modem for 20 quid plug it in to your pc and away you go. it has a sim card in it so you top it up. I get a months broadband for 15 quid and iv had no problems. these company's like virgin and talk talk are a thing of the past. i couldn't believe how easy it was. faster than what i had before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
