O2 it is then. At least their site doesn't look like teletext barfed all over my screen!

Sorry to the Christians among us, but Jesus Christ! Their website has always been a little odd, but that's just wrong.

I just left this on the forum. Bets on whether it sticks:

Hello there, 1992 calling. Windows 3.1 wants their colour scheme back.

I'll give Be* their due, that's one hell of a viral marketing campaign you've got there. It's also one hell of a turn-off. The 16-colour CGA palette went out of fashion when Windows 95 came out, and I honestly wish it wouldn't come back.

As a visually impaired software developer, I know a thing or two about good user interface design, and this isn't it. Please, do everyone a favour and turn down the contrast and overuse of animated gifs. The website looks like it was created by some 16-year-old script kiddie. Professional it isn't.

You forgot to add the part that goes like:
"It's a piece of ******* ****** **** **** ******* *** ******."

Right well this only adds to why i'm glad i'm leaving them this month. Gits even charged me £40 for only giving them 31 days notice! Apparently they're the only company in the world that wants THREE MONTHS notice when you leave them.

Banned! That definitely wouldn't stick even if it happens to be what I think.

I know about that one - price paid for a month-by-month contract. If I could get static IP on O2, I'd jump, especially as I'm planning to become an O2 customer anyway soon.

My other reason for being a Be* customer is the service profile I need for Draytek, but since I'm barely getting ADSL2+ speeds anyway, I might as well forgo that.

I think I'm the only person that likes what they've tried to do!

Without saying I like the site as it is now, I like the idea of something new and this goes a long way into a world of it's own (too far at the moment,yes) but I guess I'm also one of few who likes change. I hated the old site though so looking forward to what comes of this redesign.

I wouldn't mind if the ***** had told me that when i signed up, they never told me it was a month by month contract or that i needed to give them three months notice when i wanted to leave. I organised the connection over the phone as when i moved into the flat i had no access to the internet, basically i had no means to know about those T&Cs they just assumed i knew them. I just noted down the number when i was over someone else's house and called them from my place and discussed which connection to get.

I also wouldn't mind if the guy who told me about the charge wasn't so bloomin' smug! The way he talked it was as if the £40 was going in his pocket!
