I then went back to Telecom but did not go to "Bigtime" and nor did I sign up for one of these free modem 12 or 24 month plans either. It appears to me that these companies can move the goalposts anytime they like and there is not a lot that you can do about it if they do not fulfill their end of the bargain for any reason they feel like.

Telecom actually make you signup to a minimum 12 month contract, whether or not you get the 'free' modem. That is why I didn't switch to them as I didn't want a contract, nor a modem or install. I agree with people about this new unlimited plan. You pay for what you get, and I can see a lot of people complaining in the future. Don't expect any email support, as I am still waiting for a reply to my emails to them sent over 3 years ago. There are a lot of very greedy users out there, which is why telecom couldn't sustain the plan. These greedy users are likely to be kids and teenagers downloading illegal hidef movies. Telecom had two chances to get it right, so they have failed badly with their planning.	robbyp (2751)

Do not sign with them, if you wish to have anything approaching service.:groan: :lol: Most people on the forum seem to say they are pretty bad. Telecom are idiots too but at least I know where I am with them, so I think I'll be staying with them even after Big Time. Better the devil you know than the one you don't	Agent_24 (57)

The only way to contact them, was to phone them up, but they put you on hold for 30 minutes or more. They ignored emails, and didn't update their status page, which they said they only use for widespread issues. Then all they would do is blame telecom. Since switching to xnet, who didn't have contracts, I havn't had the smae reliability problems.	robbyp (2751)
