Yet another BT Rant

Alas no, I got a day pass from Now TV. Villa were good, Liverpool were bad, 2 or 3 gifted goals 2 or 3 deflected goals, poor passing, poor marking.
As Klopp said, all the mistakes they could make they put into one game.

what a waste of £9.99

Lol.

I never worked for BT but I was once a small shareholder who did read the annual report/brochure which was sent to me. As a result I sent a tongue-in-cheek query to the Chairman, Sir Ian Vallance, and I was stunned to receive a reply from him and a small payment via his personal secretary. Apparently he valued the feedback and was equally amused by my point. I was never one of the shareholders who pushed for his resignation, I think that he is old school who values his roots and the paying customer. The type of guy/girl which the British economy benefits from.

I've never understood why PLUSNET is so much cheaper than BT, yet is a BT subsidiary. I'd change tomorrow but I'd lose my BT email which is with hundreds of friends and old customers. Before someone tells me yes I could switch but I'd have to pay BT £7 or so a month just to retain the email address, which rather spoils the point.

I beg to differ, in it for himself I have always thought

..and so much better, they are really on the ball. They were not always a BT subsidiary.

Likely BT would leave your webmail page open for incoming mail, so you could just reply to them via PLusnet, with your updated email address.

Sorry Gents, but as a yardstick I offer you . . . .
Vodafone.

Our kid lost his phone last weekend, and as the account holder I had to lodge the insurance claim. Only been with them 10 years or so, every bill paid on time, never been a 'demanding' customer. In the end it took 3 days, 5 calls, and perhaps 6 hours just to report a lost phone. Had one of their operators hang up on me after being on hold for a quarter of an hour. Spoke to 2 operators who could barely speak English.
Utterly, utterly useless.

I'm with Plusnet for both BB and mobile, except EE actually provide the mobile service. EE, when you need to ring them are quick and based in Lancashire (Liverpool I think).
