This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

I have dealt with
BT, and their Spanish equivalent, Telefonica. BT are unequivocally better at everything - service, deals, repairs, telephone customer service.

My colleague...
is in the process of trying to get a BT line with O2 broadband installed in a new office.

BT have successfully missed three appointments to terminate the line due to nobody being there, in spite of being told noone will be there unless they phone ahead.

They've also put BT Broadband on this non-existant line, which they can't cancel because the line doesn't exist.

So once the line is fitted, they will have to terminate their BT broadband contract, which has now been in 'existence' for a month, wait five days for it to be taken off, then another 5 days while O2 broadband is installed.

I pity anyone who has to deal with a company worse than BT.
