If you don't do a load of p2p downloading, I foresee no problem that would require their customer support - maybe if you didn't know anything at all about what you were doing but presumably that doesn't apply..
A lot of these companies charge stupid prices for telephone help.

Just sign up with TalkTalk and you'll see my friend ...

- Error 721 (6 calls to their free useless number, 1x call to their premium number where they admitted that it was indeed Talk Talk's fault ... Needless to say that I'm still waiting to get reimbursed for that call)

Talk Talk is the worst company ever when it comes to broadband (take it from someone who can't wait till November till this friggin contract is up and I can return to BT and live in peace ever after !!)

On BT I can't access timeforchess.com, chessatwork.com, redhotchess.com or uchess.com with any regularity. RHP is fine though, for some reason.

Lets simply establish that both companies are a pile of pooh ...

BT all the way if you ask me (Was a happy customer for over 2 years until I thought I can safe myself a few quid every month ... I curse the day this sleezy fat guy addressed me at Sainsbury !!)
