Any better packages out there?
I've come under a little bit of pressure at home to try and cut down on the quartly bill that we get from BT. It averages out around 110-120 per quarter which I feel is too expensive considering we only really have the landline for broadband useage. The cost of calls only racks up about £13 (Most are evenings and weekends)…

I the majority or adverts they have a large test/graphic stating "up to 8mb" But this is totally false as BT has capped the speed through profiling to a max of 7.1mb. So the fastest ANYONE using this service will see is in fact 7mb. Well actually only…

Are Freedom2surf deliberately delaying MAC code?
I e-mailed a request for a MAC code to Freedom2surf last Tuesday (11th April), they have yet to provide one :mad:. Now, the reason I think that they are deliberately delaying is, my billing date is 21st of the month & they are holding out so that I am forced to pay another full month with them! A few questions:* Has anyone…
