Hi,
I have been with Names.co.uk since they were NDO, and am not unhappy with the service. However, for the coming year they want to charge me £185.41, which seems a lot for 6Gb/month with less than 2Mb speeds.
But who do I go to? The problem is that my BT exchange is not that modern, and I am about 3 miles from it at the end of a spur, although the line is actually very reliable.
I was sent a mailshot by O2, as I have a mobile with them, for their current £7.34-month-with-2-months free offer, so I called up and said please could I have it, but apparently, my own personal quote would be £17 or so a month. The man at O2, while not actually rude, obviously couldn't have cared less about losing a potential customer and wasn't going to waste his time explaining the reason for the extra high price to me.
Can anyone explain to me why I end up having to pay a premium for a more old fashioned slower service than someone living in a city with access to high-speed high-tech cable and fibre-optics does?
Many thanks
