OFFTEL FSCKS UP UK BAD

OFFTEL FSCKS UP UK BAD

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7003113.stm

UK broadband is so fscked up its straight lie for any
leading broadband company to claim they offer speed
for the price you pay.

OFFTEL SHOULD BE DISBANDED!!!

THEY ARE FSCKING USELESS.

THEY ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN DURING THEIR WATCH.

OFFTEL and ALL BROADBAND COMPANIES should be referred
to the EU for conning the public.

If you pay for something, then you should be given
the stated service. If it can't be delivered, then
the customer needs to be refunded.

The EU should fine UK's OFFTEL and
all its broadband companies a million euros per
day until they put in systems to refund all the money stolen from
customers through false broadband speeds.

They should be windfall tax on all those companies who
systematically failed to deliver claimed
speeds and the money refunded to all the punters.

Also in future, the delay between overcharging and refund
should be reduced to one month by firm consumer rights law
so that stolen bandwidth debts are rebated in full
the following month automatically to customers who have
had it stolen from them.

Speak for yourself mate. I'm on Be, synced at 15.4Mbps, get ~13.5Mbps IP
throughput any time of day or night. Using a BT IPStream reseller [Griffin]
for a year, after having been on Telewest cable for 3.5 years, was a
bitterly disappointing experience.

Complaining about someone else's language when a) you can't spell and b)
you're wrong, doesn't exactly give you much room to accuse him of being an
idiot.

I wish I can become a BE customer - but their checkometer so far
tells me I will only get 2Mbits. Thats ridiculous as I am in London
and the exchange is only 1km away. But I guess they must have their reasons.
