    Thank heavens I left about two years ago.
    As soon as they took over Tiscali, about three years ago, I knew the party was over. Tiscali Max, Rest In Peace. You and E.On FixOnline 8 were the best tariff of my Life. I shall never find your match again.

    This is why this country is struggling to get much better growth. Yes agreed todays figures are in the eyes of the goverment good but if utility companies and alike keep having above inflation regular risess then we the worker stand very little chance of have a disposable income. What makes me laugh is inflation going down sounds all bent and corrupt to me.

    Just like the energy companies - if one announces a price rise, the rest all follow suit. And at the end of it all, the differences between their prices are just pennies.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    When will Ofcom stop this cartel ? It has forced BT Wholesale line rental prices down year on year hoping that will be passed onto consumers, it has not, we are being raped with Ofcom consent.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    Interesting to read you can exit your contract early within 30 days of notification of the rise in charges, I tried that last time and Talk Talk swore blind I couldn't leave, I couldn't find it on the Talk Talk website.

    I have used many ISP over the years and Talk Talk is shocking for customer service and for the internet constantly dropping.

    I certainly will try again and leave the contract early, just wish I could speak to someone in the UK rather than George at an overseas call centre who insist on calling me Madam:mad:

    I presume if you use their line rental saver, there's no extra to pay for the year?

    LRS is a fixed pricedeal for 12m, so no increase there if you have already paid it.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
