Recommend me a new ISP
Just phoned up for a MAC code to leave AOL, don't know why I haven't done this sooner.
All came to ahead last night when I got a cold call from them to 'Improve' my deal at no extra cost, when I queried the bloke about this tieing me into another contract he was very rude. Customer service nil points So who do I switch to? Sky is the current favourite, as I'll swap broadband & phone to them. Good deals on first 6 months. Plus I'll be saving One neighbour is getting 8meg another 11meg, which is way faster than anything else in my road. Plusnet is another choice, as they're very cheap, but speed is only about 5meg tops Was thinking about BT but Indian call centre put me off, Plusnet is owned by BT and has UK call centres

Re: Recommend me a new ISP
How very 20th century though having to pay line rental for a telephone just to get the internet. Can you not get BT's new fibre offer?

Plus the celebrity news on AOL which revolves around katie frickin Price which I don't read, but they thrust upon you They tried to make me stay and I lied through my back teeth about how much Sky was going to charge me. £20 for TV, Broadband, line rental & calls. Wish it was that cheap, but I'm still going to save money over AOL & BT combined
