    I am perfectly happy with my statement on his multiple identities and don't need proof. If you are so concerned, why not make enquiries yourself?

    Ask MillicentBystander on open forum, or by PM, if he is also 1carminestocky, operastar, carespress and other identities.

    You must be the only 'regular' on the UW forum who isn't aware that I am correct. In fact I am pretty sure that you also know it is true!!

    The man is a fraud!

    I didn't know you had asked all the regulars on the UW forum, or do you speak for them all? I'm not concerned in the slightest about asking, you're the one doing the accusing, so you need to provide the evidence, isn't that how it works? The saying "innocent until proven guilty" springs to mind! Is this poster breaking any rules?

    Sorry i dont understand. You said

    "if the pre-payment / debit cashback card makes up for poor admin and expensive tariffs... why not just get the card on it own from an alternative route ? I have. "

    Are you saying you can get the UW card with all its benefits without signing up to UW. Or are you talking about a completely different product. If so what other pre-paid card offers the same benefits ? Care to give us a link to it ?

    same issuer/benefits - different colour .

    Not sure whether I would break any rules ( issuer/ MSE) by giving details - but lets just say I liked basis of the UW card ( but not UW) - so went out of my way to find the info!

    I think you would be ok giving details of this card, details and links have been posted before as suggested alternatives to the evil UW card! (Its so bad the cashback I've earned has paid for my landline/ calls for a whole year, and given me a good sum of money each month!)

    I've noticed that to, why no comments at all on the new phone/broadband package Cardew? Even the post prior to this has no bearing on UW, just more accusations! You never replied to my post a few days ago about you asking the "mods" about MillicentBystander's identity! Have you asked yet? Maybe they could give you some proof to back up the accusations.

    I pay £23.50 a month with Sky. Should I want the exact same package on Utility Warehouse, it would cost me £30.99 a month.

    If you are 'not concerned', then why constantly bring it up?

    I don't 'need' to do anything!

    He is a fraud! He posts under multiple identities always in support of UW, he has no credibility!

    Is that the exact same deal as UW offer? Broadband, mobile etc? Do you need to be a sky customer? Doesn't this cost around 20.00 per month? You can get near enough the same channels on freeview for free!

    Exactly the same deal yes. Even if I cancelled the telly, that's only an extra £1.50 a month.

    I'll explain in a bit more detail. I have Sky Broadband Unlimited (20mb and unlimited usage), Sky Talk Unlimited and line rental. Because I have both I get a fiver off broadband. I get caller display, 1571 and 20 international countries all for free as part of that. In total it comes to £23.50 but would be £25 without Sky TV.

    The equivalent UW package is £24.99 a month. However, 1571, international destinations and caller display are an extra £1.50 a month each. Plus the membership fee (either £1 or £1.50) means on total the same package on UW is £30.99 a month.

    So over the course of the year being on Sky saves me roughly £90 compared to UW.

    Of course it's relevant.

    This thread isn't provided so that uw reps can use it purely for promotional spam.

    Nigewick repeatedly uses this thread to promote MSE (who he works for).

    It is in everyone's interests to realise that he has a dual personality over this - telling us the "happy" side of things (ie toeing the company line), yet in truth using a word like "atrocious" to describe his true opinion of them when discussing his company elsewhere on the net.

    I think you might want to edit this post Quentin. There is a glaring mistake in it.

    Unless of course...

    I'm almost 100% certain that MB is Carmine but who really cares? On this thread he's great entertainment and, along with Quentin, a genuine wind up merchant. Unlike Uptomyeyeballs who tried but failed miserably.

    All we need now is for Vinny to come back and tell somebody they're going to burn in hell if they don't get their gas and electric from UW :)
