In reply to a post by Andrue:
I'd take that as a complement. I don't want excitement from my ISP. I just want the service to work as it should day after day in a dull and boringly predictable fashion. At the moment that seems to be the case.

IPv6 might be nice but remains largely irrelevant to my daily use.


One thing about Plusnet is they do not bombard you emails or stuff through the door like BT, Sky or Talk Talk does offering other features you do not want.

I have been with plusnet now for 8 months and had only two emails about their TV service, i did have one phone call, but that was because I registered a interest by accident.
I know people with other services and they gets email every week and letters through the door and even phone calls.

Not sure what would the use of IPv6 be for most people, i know we all got to use it at some point, but as long as I can get the internet it do not bother me or millions of other people.

I get junk mail through the letter box regularly from ISPs that I have no dealings with, nor any interest in dealing with such ISPs.

We have more and more laws, and less and less enforcement

The door-to-door opt out should stop any unaddressed post, where I live Virgin Media are the worst offender.

Not being ins a Virgin area, we do not get anything from them, also the Royal mail opt out is a waste of time, I tried it three times and still have not made a difference, so it all goes in the bin.

You might need to raise it as a complaint or with your local delivery office.

Since registering with Mail Preference Service some years ago we haven't received any junk at all (well, maybe once). The change it made about a month after a registration was quite drastic, as far as I remember, and then it stopped altogether.

Unaddressed junk mail and leaflets may not be coming via Royal Mail but via some other carrier.

http://www.royalmail.com/personal/help-and-support/h... does say

Please be aware that Royal Mail delivers a minority of the total volume of unaddressed mail items in the United Kingdom. The opt out will not cover any other distributors, who will continue to deliver unaddressed mail items. Opting out of Royal Mail Door to Door deliveries will not necessarily reduce by a significant amount the number of items you will receive, as there are other carriers in the market place.

The Mail Preference Service should work well for junk mail addressed to you, provided you have not given the sender consent, which is all to easy to do.

I really can't be bothered, it is easy enough to just pick it off the floor and chuck it right into the bin.
