Re: [LUG] Another Quick ISP thing

Is anybody on this deal yet?

 

I was just looking at talk talk today regarding their "free" broadband deal.  As of today, the website quoted getting me up the first week of August (yikes!).  I wonder how the contention ratio is going to hold up with the deluge of customers (50:1 as most).  I have onetel for another couple months on a £30 monthly package.  I wish there was no traffic limit, and the "fair usage" policy is too ambiguous for my liking. http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/gben-server-PageServer?ARTICLE=MAIN.UK.TALKTALK.STATIC.HELP.BBHELP.BBFAQ#faqfair

 

At least they plan to lose money on their broadband business for the next four years.

So having the plug pulled on the offer doesn't seem likely.

 

You get what you pay for.

Hi,

Sorry for lack of communication but I'm internetless. Just thought I would warn others of a similar pit fall. About a month ago I tried to sign up to talk talk and ever since it has been a very long saga. I have been given many different dates from when it will be set up but none have come through. I guess that until the initial rush is over with it is very hit and miss. Any way this comes from school using doze (before anyone asks how I sent this). So my advice is not to try and sign up with them as it will take a very long time and probably come to nothing. At this rate I will sign up with someone else with out a contract and join when they are ready. (8mbps is good even if you have to wait.)
