    A formal complaint might be worthwhile. Otherwise... Star Link?!
    Its quite common but it only occurs when sales retention have screwed up setting up the discount.

    From what I've been told once it's been screwed up it's hard to fix so it often ends up being the monthly hassle BigDataPro is complaining about.

    Beyond that it depends on who is in your area as otherwise you will be back to 70mb max.
    That's a very good recommendation. Thanks for that.

We have to call customer service to remind them of the deal they agreed to get it corrected. Wify is getting annoyed having to be on the blower to rectify the "error" every month.

    Any recommendations for a better provider in the West Midlands?
