Cable monopoly on broadband.

Can you believe this, what Alex Brown said...

"We don't have any over subscribed areas."

LOL
Course you don't.
If you didn't, then you wouldn't be makin such drastic and unwanted
actions, that is infuriatin both your existin customers, and possible
future customers.

Face it...
You're crap now, not that you wasn't before, but you're too expensive
for an ISP, you lied to customers, that was bad...

That thread titled "Telewest secretly capping speeds?"
17,197 views.
That's a lot of people.
Especially when you think that a 10th of that number are significant in
givin results for a survey.

I'd be tempted to hit them with a subject access request under the data
protection act once a year - £10 a year is still cheaper than their fee
for itemised billing, and they have to included it all to comply with
the request.

Then play merry feckin' hell with them getting any problems from the
previous 12 months resolved.

I'm glad I'm with a proper ISP. My neighbour has had to spend 40 quid
for a wireless router, even though they already have a perfectly good
one - just a shame they can't use it because of BY nannying.

Even Alex agrees it's stupid.

I've heard that they have to provide an itemised bill.
If that's true, then how can they possibly start chargin people for it
now?
