I hate BT. They've merged my broadband and phoneline together so now feel that they can take an extra £15 a month INCASE I use my phone a bit more.
I'd requested they not be merged so that this sort of fuck up didn't occur and was assured that they would not be sent together, now I've been charged silly money which means that my insurance payment didn't come out because it's put me over my overdraft limit and I have to wait 5 days for the money to come back to me.

What's made you angry enough to post about it online ONLINE recently?

They don't do a discount for bundling the packages?
I have cable TV, phone and DSL with my provider, and seperately it would come to around $130 a month, but as it's all bundled I pay $80 a month.
Sounds like BT are still the money grabbing bastards they always were?

In the UK I pay £22 a month for tv, phone & 10mb broadband
/ac and surprisingly accurate
( broadsword, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 17:50, Reply)

Who are you with? I pay £30 for unlimited broadband and basic phone. I don't get the extra tv channels because I live on a main road where there's no cable

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 17:54, Reply)

Virgin
originally it was only broadband for around that price, but they keep throwing extras at me to keep me as a customer.

*edit* mind you, in Spain I'm paying €64 a month for 6mb broadband and a phone line, which is a bit poo.
( broadsword, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 17:57, Reply)

I was going to go with them, but they weren't able to offer faster broadband or cheaper than I get now. I need it unlimited too.
Edit: I thought you were in Ireland
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 17:59, Reply)

64 € a month?!
Who the fuck are you with?

I've got 20Mb broadband plus phone line (and free national calls) for 35 a month at home.

I'd guess you're with Telefonica/Movistar, as thats what I have in the office, and it's damned expensive
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 18:01, Reply)

Yup, Telefonica/Movistar
they started off charging me over €80 a month 'til I complained. The offer I signed up for was meant to be €44 a month so I'm still getting charged €20 extra for some reason I can't fathom.

in the office we get charged about 80 € minimum a month, which includes the call waiting/diversion services, answerphone, some kinda mobile calls package, and reduced price international calls i believe

Sounds like Virgin
I pay about a tenner a month for 10mb broadband, I have no house phone.
( Kroney, Wed 9 Jun 2010, 17:58, Reply)

I pay about £40 for virgin tv, phone and broadband
mainly so I don't have to give any money to those BT cunts.

My virgin tv service is shit at the moment though. picture and sound freezes every couple of minutes for 10 seconds or so. apparently it should be sorted by 11 tonight. that remains to be seen.

Naw, they don't like me
Which is a massive shame, because I'd really like to attend a bash and seduce the two of them.

I'd take them home with me, crack out the babysham and get a bit of shoala ama on my old record player. One thing would eventually lead to another, and before they knew it they'd be spit-roasting me over the coffee table. Of course, they'd switch ends at half time, and it would be rude for me not to allow them to spill their hot, thick jism all over my face as the finale

IPTV
I'm with Tiscali TV (now owned and made better by Talk Talk). I have an 8MB pipe with 4MB dedicated to IPTV and programs and films on demand. I have an entertainment package that includes paramount Comedy, Sky1-3 and a ton of stuff you can't get on sky such as HBO on demand, Nat Geo on Demand, Warner Bros on demand etc.

i'd recommend it if you can cope with the slow process for enabling it all (it took 3 weeks 2 years ago) and this may have improved incredibly since the takeover by Talk Talk.

Its good value, includes a land line and the Sky+ like box can be pimped to include USB discs or the internal disc swapped out to as big as you like.

You'll need to check them out for the latest special offers.

Got to say it rocks compared to Sky, Virgin etc. Can't understand why its not marketed quite so well anywhere...

I should point out here
that VM has both HBO and WB in the TV Choice On Demand section. I'm not sure about Nat Geo but can check tomorrow if anyone is actually interested.
