RE: BTInternet does it again !!!

["Phillip Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

I do so love it when they apply quotes to the word "unmetered" as
if it
makes the rest of what they're doing less of a load of
"bollocks".

I find it interesting that under these rules, as a Surftime user, I can
use 12 hours of "free" time (there go those quotes again) and
then be
banned from paying for access during the day.

There really must be some way of stopping these sods using the word
unmetered in their terms and conditions when by any reasonable
interpretation it is clearly *NOT* unmetered.

I am not getting into a discussion about whether people should leave
their PCs connected for more than 12 hours a day or whatever but it is
the very use of "To make things fairer for everybody, we've changed
the
daily internet use limit for Anytime and SurfTime  customers from
16
hours to 12 hours of 'unmetered' access in any 24-hour period." ...
It
almost screams "We make money until you use more than 12 hours a day
and
so we'll allow you to use phone time until that point and if you use
less then we're laughing."

Thankfully up to now my ISP (I use my Surftime account as a backup) has
been very reasonable...
