Here on GEEK!, I’m fed up with ISPs that claim they supply unlimited broadband when they actually don’t, after you’ve spent ages reading the Fair Use Policy.
I think this is totally unfair and must be stopped. If ISPs don’t want us to use as much bandwidth as we like, then they should say so, before they tangle us in a 12 or 18 month contract. It’s stupid!
I’m not going to mention ISPs that do this – but there are plenty. It’s totally unfair that ISPs expect us to read a fair usage policy and understand what bandwidth is. I do, but most people don’t have time to dig through pages of FUPs and frankly aren’t interested.
It must stop here. GEEK! has set up a petition and if you have a problem with ISPs falsely promoting “unlimited” usage broadband please feel free to sign it below. You’re information won’t be given to any third party other than Ofcom if GEEK! decides to hand the petition results over. All that is required is your name and email address.
If GEEK! gets enough people on the list, he’ll hand it over to Ofcom and see what they say.
Thanks for your interest in the petition.
The GEEK! Broadband Petition: Stop ISPs falsely advertising “unlimited” broadband bandwidth!
