no. if there's no room, there's no roomhelpful tips

they're - 'they are'

My local exchange is not unbundled (no 3rd party equipment in place), probably because I am in a rural area. O2 moved me to the Access package when I upgraded my landline terms and I did not understand the consequences. From that point on I had a 20GB download limit. We have two active users in the house and hit the limit on about day 25 each month, so we have a week of misery when our download speed is throttled back to 0.1 Mb !!!! Can't listen to internet radio due to buffering, BBC iPlayer doesn't work ...I asked O2 to upgrade me to unlimited, but they said that they couldn't - they had no contract with BT that allowed this. So I was locked in to O2 on a 20Gb max contract.
My contract with O2 expires today, so I have had to return to BT and their rubbish customer services in order to get unlimited BB. I have complained to OFCOM that there is no competition, but they say that O2 could negotiate an unbundled contract with BT, but have chosen not to.
There still isn't a fair market in broadband in rural areas.0 -
that can be the same as oil sellers though, no fair competition thereDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
