Caveat Emptor lat: ‘let the buyer beware’.
This is for anybody who’s interested in sharing my view of general services providers in the UK, ‘though I’m specifically referring to H3G based on my personal experiences with them.
When I see advertisements in London, I laugh. Cynical laughter. Promising service, reliability, ‘a better product’ than the next competitor, based on a survey which has returned a 99% approval figure! A study of the fine print (literally named because it’s normally very tiny and situated in a corner) reveals that the so-called survey is an opinion poll from some anonymous happy current customers. Hah! I maintain, a lot of these activities would surely fall under the criminal code ‘419′ back in my country.
My submission; the H3G mobile broadband service is cr*p, sh*t and absolutely fraudulent. My first month with them produced a broadband package of 3gb of data to be used over 33 days (incredible, but true!), their billing system somehow can calculate a month as 33 days, they also somehow managed to sneak in an extra data usage of 170mb, calculated at a convenient cost of 10p per mb.
This is London; the ‘rip-off capital of the world, or the city that hosts the biggest ‘rip-off’ companies in the world. I call it the way I see it. Nuff said.
