Bye Bye internet 2

Due to some financial problems we are having to temporarily cancel out internet/cable etc. Hopefully it will not be for too long, well thats if we can cancel it!! I will find out on Sunday.

Nawws, gonna miss you!

Will miss you all too went stir crazy today because the screen went on the pc, I was without the net for a couple of hours before I remembered to pinch one of the boys screens!!!!! I will go even more mental without the net

Gonna turn into a ghost town all over again....

Who's your net with?? Some companies will charge you an arm and a leg to disconnect.

BT for example will charge you a £30 disconnection fee, plus money owed since last monthly payment, plus one months usage as they require 30 days notice of disconnection.

Virgin, we have had no phone for over a year because the junction box is full, so cancelling it, hopefully we ca ngo over to sky as its half the price of virgin for the package we are on.

Wow, great service :/

My only worry with sky is that they are ranked pretty low for internet speeds, I couldn't go with them for fear of having dreadful internet.

That said, who can you get good net from these days. Hope you get something figured out.

We dont do downloading music & films or do games, its normally just browsing fleabay, hubby's face book and me on here I think the sky download should be ok.

O2 are really decent providers, obviously speed depends on your area, but price wise they're good, and if you have an O2 phone you get discounts.

Hope it's not too long before you can come back.

Speaking to hubby if we can sort it out correctly we might only be off a couple of days . We need to do something £60/month for internet & tv is stupid we did used to get a discount because we had been a customer of virgin for many years.

Tried to phone virgin today to cancel the cable, and they were ..... shut! SHUT!!! on a Sunday, since when has anything ever been shut on a Sunday in the uk???????!!!!!!!!!!! 3 1/2 mins I was on the phone entering my account number, press 1 for this and 2 for that to finally get through to a recorded message saying they were SHUT!!

Nothing is open on Sundays in the US...

That's the thing that has amazed me so much since moving from Wales Places are open on a Sunday! It's amazing!

had no choice but to cancel cable this morning, we go off line possible Friday , no telly either (soooooo glad I have my fish, dunno what everyone else is going to do lol lol) but I have managed to snare a terrific deal from Sky so should be back in about 3 week, so you can have a break from my nattering

Gonna miss you, Star

Will miss you too

Going to miss you Les! This place wont be the same without you
Great news on the better deal though ^^

Sky are giving me the run around, they will no longer let me have the origional deal, they want to charge me more per month, cant affort it, virgin still hasnt turned us off yet either (hence why posting) so no doubt I will suddenly disappear. God know what we will do!

Have you tried Be? Apparently they're supposed to be pretty fair, compared to companies like BT who want like £30 per month. https://www.bethere.co.uk/web/beportal/homepage
And it sounds bloody out of order what Sky are doing- I'm sure if you got stroppy enough and said that you're really disappointed with their service, that you'll never be buying any of their products and will tell all your friends how poorly they've treated you they'll soon change their tune.

And do you or your hubby have a contract phone? Because if you do then sometimes your provider will offer good deals for internet broadband, like O2 and Orange.

o2 pay and go phones is what we have, I wil just have to throw a stop, trouble is I am too polite on the phone. We will sort something out eventually

If things don't work out with Sky, have a look at o2, it's who we're with for internet and they're fantastic. Really helpful and they got the internet sorted within a week of us ordering it.

Because you have a pay as you go phone, it means that as long as you top up at least £10 every 3 months, you get a discount on the monthly fees.

I don't know if these prices are any better than Sky's or not, but as I said, if things fall through with Sky, give o2 a go. If you can get them in your area, then they're really good. http://www.o2.co.uk/broadband

Still here for the time being ruddy sky aint budging though

The buggers shouldn't be able to get away with this
