Requesting MAC Code
Finally! I’m out of contract with my ISP, who shall remain nameless – and were until recently quite good, but are now rubbish. This means I can switch ISP for nothing, rather than pay them admin fees in excess of sixty quid(!?) yesterday and then leave. That’s good news for me.
The whole “Up to 8Mb” broadband argument that Watchdog is getting irate about is mainly a bunch of bollocks – I understand that ISPs are unable to guarantee download speeds, but they should be able to give you an indication of achievable rates and charge you a percentage accordingly. They could do this… but they never will, because they need to keep their costs down by having standard charges and having indecipherable Call Center staff in India, which I fully believe is to dissuade you from calling them.
No doubt my next ISP will be just as bad, but at least I’ll get an interesting new freeview box, phone and er, homehub to play with.
When you move out of the smoke and into the sticks you should find you speeds improve, though speed to sites regarding farming goods tends to be sluggish.
Freeview Box… Doesn’t that require a… TV licence?
It does, it’s a fact.
