"BROAD BAND : what are you prepared to pay?"

Hi,
I am a 64k ISDN serfer ,which was sold to me at the time as a fast broad band service.Which it is not.And one day I hope to make the leap and go 512k, giving me lag free gaming. But what is holding me back is the price. £29.99 is far too much for me personally and I just heard that people abroad are getting it much cheaper.Some say that they only pay £14.99 for the broad band service .At tops, I wont ever pay more than 20 pound for the service. If it ever goes that low that is.

I'd pay no more than £25 a month, Pipex is a good company, they charge £20 + VAT.

I'd pay nothing until it becomes available in my area.

i use BT...and even though it is more expensive than some companies...i just know that they aren't gonna suddenly go bankrupt and go out of business like smaller companies.

Have you seen BT's share prices recently?

This time two years ago they were £15 a share.

Now they're less than £2 a share!

We left BT because of their poor service, rubbish customer support, they charged us £400 instead of £30, I could keep going! They are starting to get a bit dodgey that company.

See what I mean...

Freeserve charged us £165 instead of £30 too.

That's why I'll be changing to another ISP that offers an anytime service fairly soon.

Nealry all the companies in the Telecommunications sector have had thier share price dive over the last two years though. Cable&wireless, NTL, Colt Telecom....They have all done just as bad as BT.
