I think they're off on the wrong foot.

I totally agree. Only one response expected on TBB. Should have said they were working with Plusnet

or Zen.

Or both [faint]

Lol - I have suffered them all before settling with my current providers. No moaning from this grumpy old devil for a year speaks volumes about them - No tie ins, £11.22 rental, no call connection fee, per second billing and good customer service. What more could I ask for.

Thanks for your comprehensive replies to my latest two posts.

Lol - Upload worse, ping worse, don't see connection for weeks without an error. How's that better? Come on, lay yours on the table for a measure up

My billion has been up for 200 days with zero errors but this maybe a billion trait.

Yeah, routers are like ISP's - You get what you pay for, so I swerve cheap BB. Homecall were door-knocking this weekend, promising they supply faster broadband and keep BT line on our Market 1 TT unbundled exchange. Young lad nearly soiled his pants when this grumpy old boy told him I knew better and he was craftily selling TT LLU

It is possible to use BT WLR3 for voice and have TalkTalk SMPF LLU broadband

Yes I know that. But he insisted on trying to sell, showing off the signup forms he had gathered. Looked to me he was keeping quiet about his suppliers, rather like the Post Office not wanting to broadcast TT I don't mind, it does not slow my connection if they sign up.

So if more than £30k (if memory serves) it will have been posted in the Journal of the European Union?

I think you'll find it is more like £250K and that is assuming that an existing framework was not used to do the procurement (if you use a framework that was tendered via the EU then you don't need to do any form of notice in the journal).

In most cases this would not have been a problem, but being an independent regulator Ofcom do not identify the parties that they are working with on their site.

And yet I believe they openly report they are working with SamKnows for a similar function - so why aren't they acknowledging your involvement. Trust is hard won on the Internet and without Ofcom publicly acknowledging your involvement I won't be joining (and I am not about to spend time contacting Ofcom to ask them - I and they have better thing to do with out time).
