I'm with Telewest, and registered an interest in Cable Modems. They phoned
up yesterday saying I could have it installed in three weeks time. I asked
if Cable Internet were able to provice a better service for HSI (High Speed
Internet) given that they can't organise a dial-up service properly. "Oh of
course, all those problems are solved now" was her reply, and my next reply
isn't printable.
I let her try and talk me into it for abotu ten minutes before asking if it
would work on my Amiga ... she changed her tune straight away, and I
started trying to get her to sell it to me. You should have heard her
back-track! My what fun. "But I have a PC too but i'll really only want
it for the Amiga" etc. etc. ....
Ahem. Anyway, I don't plan to be living here in twelve months time, and
you HAVE to sign up for a minimum 12 month contract. So I turned them
down. However, I have a number to call should I change my mind ;-)
And £50 installation for a bloke to run a bit of wire up the stairs? Ha!
You _are_ kidding, right?
