ISP - Fair and acceptable usage policy
|
|
|
How does fair usage affect you?
They reserve the right without any reference to your disputation to either slow you down or charge you more. You don't have any say in this matter. Is this Fair Use Policy really a fair contract?

What's with this fair use policy anyway? I've just received an email today from my ISP advising me that they would be making some changes to my existing broadband service. Is fair usage really fair?

| 14-8-2007 | They should not be allowed to call it unlimited, this is false advertising.
Pretty soon someone is gonna take it to court and they wont be allowed to do it any more.
Trouble is most people who are being limited are downloading illegal stuff so obviously can't take them to court over it.

| 14-8-2007 | I absolutely agree with Chris. I rang OFCOM to complain about PlusNet last year. The guy on the other end of the phone sounded was working for PlusNet. OFCOM is a waste of time and space. | Andy |
| 02-8-2007 | You are wrong about OFCOM. I had assumed as the regulator for Telecoms that they would be "on the side of the consumer." I had assumed they would be able to take consumer complaints about a poor service to that service provider to see if indeed poor service was being provided and then for...more | Chris |

| 21-7-2007 | The nation could have had broadband years ago, and free and cheaply as part of the telephone service.

PlusNet would let me download as much as I wanted between midnight and 8AM (when I'm asleep) but outside those hours, I th...more | William |
| 12-7-2007 | Unlimited has one meaning in English.
If the ISP chooses to use that word to sell the service then the ISP should bear the cost.

| 12-7-2007 | I envy you that you have speeds up to 8mb. I've just moved over to Pipex. Not a good move. Speed is slow, and customer service isn't great! My speed is such that I would never cause degradation to other users - It would take absolutely ages to load a dvd's worth of data.
