They did that to me (upgraded it to 2meg for free the week I moved)
and now it seems I can't have 2 meg where I live now, despite being told I could before I moved. grrr.

BT is doing
2MB for 30 pounds a quarter...

Wow that is good
is that uncapped?

i think there's a 30gb cap
either per month or per quarter

30gb .
That's not entirely useless.

Just checked their site
and can only see £25 per month for 2mb with a 15gig monthly cap. In my past experience I've never found BT to be very competitive at all.

And they are cunts
And their free broadband modems are about as useful as a lump of rancid cock pus.

And their mum is a crap shag.

Yeah.

So in summary, not our first choices.
I used Pipex for the last 6 months who were pretty good and customer service was reasonable. £60 cancellation fee if you get rid of it within a year is very steep.

I was with NTL for about 2 years before that, their customer service is usually crap, but getting better. Their product is imho superb, if you can get it: get it.

If you can get BT
you should be able to get Pipex no?

Dunno
didnt look into it too deeply at the time. As someone else is paying the cost doesnt matter and I already have replacement kit....

It is.
Although they employ cowboys and monkeys as engineers and customer service.

At corporate leve
I've always found their engineers to be good. The customer services side is staffed by shambolic showers of horse cunt though.

The monkey who installed one of the cables in my house
had to borrow my drill and masonry bit because his wasn't powerful enough to drill through the wall. He also brought the wrong cover for the junction box so there's now a box of dangling wires that they've never come back to fix.

AOL for some reason
gave me a BT modem. it's actually OK. I mean, AOL do suck satans cock in hell, but they are impossible to stop paying, so I have to use them...

1 mb/s
is 125kB/s. You have 57 days until September. That's enough time to download over 600 Gig of porn.

What are you waiting for?
