    Wish I still had them. Let that be all you need to know...

    They are pretty reliable, although it does irritate me that they don't discount the bill when there are problems.

    They do crank up the fees fast though. My bill went from £35 to about £90 a month over the course of about 5 years (it's not small increments - the last one was over a fiver). I got it back down again to £35 by calling up and asking nicely. The advice I was given was simple: treat it like car insurance and expect to move provider every year, just to keep the cost in check. The guy I spoke to said you'll probably end up staying as we will either reset the cost or add in additional services or whatever, but you should still check in at the end of each fixed term to make sure that happens.

    That is impressive. Out of interest, do you know if the underpayments registered your credit rating?

    Had a loan the other day, not the type of one I’d usually go for let’s say, and she questioned me on 2 missed car payments in 12 months and one for car insurance...

    To them it’s black and white, a missed payment, so it surely has some sort of affect? Even if only small.

    I've been with them about 8 years, only ever not had service once for about 1/2 a day. t
    Their mobile phones are cheap and they use the EE network so will have very good coverage.

    Yes I've just got the broadband, you don't need the landline as well
