I know this was raised recently on umra, but I wasn't really paying
attention as I didn't think we were affected, but I guess quite a few
other people are looking into this with the letters dropping on doormats
notifying of increases in BT charges.
IIRC Plusnet was highly recommended. Is that correct and are people
still happy with them ? I am asking on behalf of SiL who lives in Bath
(where we arrived a couple of hours ago). They are on BT Broadband and
have a landline too, but as they both have mobiles (Vodafone and EE)
they don't really need a landline any more so are thinking of dropping
that and switching suppliers. I assume that whatever cable they have
coming in to their house at the moment is accessible by whatever
supplier they decide to go with ? Any advice welcome...
In other news we are on a bit of a UK tour at the moment: funeral of my
latex SiL in Calstock yesterday which was rather different - Janie was
the writer/director of the village pantos for many years and asked that
people came in panto costumes. In the packed church we were sat next to
a dog, there was the front end of a horse across the aisle, 2
cave-persons, 2 naughty nuns and various other strange outfits, but they
may have been normal dress - Calstock can be a bit alternative :) Much
sadness, but much love and laughter too for a very special lady.
Tomorrow we go to Cirencester to pick up our new Mitsubishi and then
we're back to Bedford for a few days with excursions to Pembury and the
Globe next week.
Finally, we have had an offer on our Italian house ! Not quite what we
wanted but we're happy with it and just need to work out the fine
details and timing etc. So advice above on broadband and other advice
of electricity companies etc. in the UK will be useful for us too soon
we hope
