]]> Comment on O2: don’t call me to tell me to stop using an unlimited broadband! by Dom http://blog.james.rcpt.to/2010/04/02/o2-dont-call-me-to-tell-me-to-stop-using-an-unlimited-broadband/comment-page-1/#comment-160 Dom Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:17:53 +0000 http://blog.james.rcpt.to/?p=262#comment-160 I'm with The Post Office for broadband and have got absolutely no complaints. Ironically enough we're with them because BT were going to charge us £125 to get connected, then either force us to stick with them for telephone and broadband (I've had MANY bad experiences with BT for both residential and business broadband) or pay £70 on top of the £125 to get out of the 12 month contract to go with someone else. The Post Office charged us £35 to get connected and gave us 8Megabibble broadband (the fastest we can get here) and phone for cheaper than anyone else.
