Worst website redesign ever - Page 2

It was definitely in the T&C when I signed up last December. I knew about it.

In fact, I'm going to start the three-month countdown in the morning. Just looked at O2's website and if I do become a customer, I'll pay the same for what I suspect might be better service - including static IP.

Oh i'm sure it was in the T&Cs, it's just as i say, if you sign up over the phone it's not as if the T&Cs are given. It's probably in the documents i was sent when i received my router but i just wish they had told me over the phone when i signed up, it's a pretty major part of the contract and should at least be mentioned imo.

Umm. Why are they using a self-signed SSL certificate on a major public site?

Firefox kicks up a fuss when you try to access the page, as does Opera (and I believe IE7&8 will do too)

I like their last tweet:

We get the gist of the feedback; our new website is live and you don’t like the look of it. We’ll listen and learn over the next few days.

Doesn't look self-signed to me. Did you look while their site was broken?

Not that I would probably notice a self-signed certificate anyway - I've got the Perspectives Firefox plugin installed.

Must have done, it looks now to be on a COMODO signed one. Weird.

Last night Firefox told me their certificate was moody.

I think it looks kinda funkeh

It's Comodo signed but FF3.5 jumps up with a sec_error_unknown_issuer, IE8 doesn't, green bar.

iirc, IE is a bit forgiving with problems with intermediate certs, so I'd guess that without digging myself.
