Just signed up for Vodafone broadband. Advertised as:

See our great Vodafone Broadband offers. Unlimited fibre broadband with up to 1000Mbps.

After signing up you get this email:

Benefits you’ll enjoy:

You’ve signed up to Gigabit Broadband Experience 1000. This means you will get our fastest possible speeds of 1000mbps. At the end of your contract, we will contact you to see if you want to continue enjoying these speeds. If we can’t contact you, your service will automatically switch to Gigabit Broadband 150mbps at the end of your contract.

No mention of that before I signed up. You’d want to be in the full of your health with these guys. Yea, and before somebody says it, they’re worse than Ryanair.

its listed in the terms & conditions which I just found without signing up. also the landing page for the promotion also says “see terms and conditions .” which is hyperlinked

you just didn’t do your homework

This is the chap who couldn’t book a flight with Ryanair

For fuck sake @habanerocat

I need to up my game for sure.
But where can I get the time…

I’ll be keeping a low profile on the “Questions for the techies” thread for a while.

Virgin pulled the plug on me today. Coincidental or what?

Copper_pipe · November 27, 2018, 5:40pm

They had enough of your struggling on the Ryanair site

anon78624367 · November 27, 2018, 5:40pm

In what sense mate?

habanerocat · November 27, 2018, 5:42pm

Do they monitor your browsing history and pull the plug if they think you’re going to change. Coincidental or what?

Horsebox · November 27, 2018, 5:43pm

You’re a gas man.

habanerocat · November 27, 2018, 5:43pm

Paranoid gas…

They only cut you off if you use too much bandwidth on porn.

anon78624367 · November 27, 2018, 5:44pm

Seek advice.

habanerocat · November 27, 2018, 5:45pm

Hence my question mark above.

anon78624367 · November 27, 2018, 5:46pm

Sorry, I meant seek help.

@KinvarasPassion they were in Kinvara on the six one news there where a few locals have bandied together and are ‘working from home’ so to speak all under the one roof in the Kinvara Enterprise Centre I think it was. This man below was saying he lives a mile away from the centre and can’t get internet in his house. Its a nice handy little resource for the village I thought. I don’t know of anything similiar anywhere near me here. He did say there were people travelling from 20 miles away to work there.

@KinvarasPassion have you an uncle in New York who sent over the Yankees top or is it a momento you picked up?

They’d be the Klare crowd. They travel for light and heat really and the comfort of the soft leather chairs.

The idea is a good one, I’ve rented a desk from them a few times in the past few years. Very affordable. A great place to network too if you were kicking off a business.

You’ll be see more and more of these hot desking businesses cropping up as WFH options become more popular. The truth is working from home too much is a balls of a job and very isolating so having the likes of these options can help break the monotony.

Brimmer_Bradley · November 27, 2018, 8:05pm

Do ye have big printers up there ?

Fagan_ODowd · November 27, 2018, 8:07pm

These fucking Muldoons going on about cheap houses and how they’d hate to live in Dublin and they have to walk a mile to get the Internet
