Are ISP's out of touch with what the people who use their services want?
monkeyarms said:I agree Old Dude, PlusNet seem to have a problem with capacity, and now mess their customers about to sort it.
I too think a no frills package would be good, i dont need or want VOIP or webspace, content message facilities etc.
All i need is a connection. stable, fast and cheap.
My ISP provides 2 out of those 3. So mostly happy![]()
There does seem to be a worrying trend towards offering BB connections with a whole load of extra crap bolted on to make them look better than they actually are!Old dude said:Its suprising that not many (if any) dont offer a no frills package. One without VOIP, media content, email, etc etc etc. Just a connection, for a lower price.
I know loads that would snap that up.

I'd much prefer a bog standard connection. No gimmicks I'll never use. No fancy speeches or flashy logos.
Just a good connection and a staff that have more than 3 neurons to rub together, just in case I need them.
Oh well....Hope springs eternal and all that. B-)
