So many good things being said about us here! I think we are all going to walk around the office red faced. But I'm glad we are doing things right and giving you guys what you deserve.

And regarding a "wandering" of billing dates. That will be rectified soon with the implementation of our new automated billing platform. (Henri will be let out of the cellar soon) So if you can bare with us for a couple more months you will get billed happily the same every time month from then on.
Hope this helps Mrs Swampster

Hello! Just thought i'd add that even if the availability checker shoots you down, sometimes we can still help (it's not 100% right every time) so please give us a call :-)

Just checked and i can get super-fast broadband yet the max is 40meg,the average is 32.8meg and i can get 15.8! So you want me to pay £25 p.m(the same as everyone else) and pay the same amount+ £13p.m line rental + £42 connection fee + £50 set up!!

GET REAL!!!!
