Already a thread on this, but strong evidence that their offering and
behaviour was so poor that potential customers were turned off even before
C&W's aggressive sell.

Just a thought... maybe this is a sort of final advertising ploy? People
will be thinking "oh my god, if I want bulldog I'm going to have to get
them *now*"?

Perhaps them just trying to squeeze out a few more customers before they
do what they were going to do anyway...

Don't think so... I have bulldog on my other line as ell as a pipex
connection on my BT line, they sent a letter to me saying that BD are no
longer accepting new signups... I think with the TalkTalk BB doing free BB,
they've lost all their customers they've not signed up fully... ?

I'm happy that their announcement isn't a marketing ploy, however, I
have just registered to have Bulldog as my ISP and obtained a MAC code
from Plusnet.

FWIW, if this 01/07 deadline wasn't the case, I'd use them for my second
line (Bulldog has been "in town" for over a year, and there are no cable
or other LLU services here, at present). Peter M.

So why not take Bulldog as your second line? You have nearly 3 weeks
before the deadline.

I'm not sure iBulldog won't take new customers on after 01/07 if they
knock on the door even though they've stopped marketing - their
announcemant is a little ambiguous.
