Fleur Telecom?
Received a letter this morning (quite unusual these days!) from my ISP, that behemoth of 'good customer service' Talk Talk.
It seems that from an unspecified date "in the autumn" my internet and landline will be transferred (read as dumped) to a new provider called Fleur Telecom.
I've done a bit of online research and it seems that its a new company that's only been running a few months and that 108000 ADSL users are being dumped, sorry, transferred to this new set up. Package cost is up £2 per month and the dreaded 12 month minimum contract of course.
I understand that those being dumped are all non LLU connections so it's obvious why this is happening. Some are ex Virgin and Tesco customers who were transferred to Talk Talk (I was originally Tiscali) and are being dumped for the 2nd time now.
I have been seriously thinking of going to a provider like Zen for some time now, if they'll take on a non LLU line, I've not asked them. Other than that its move to Fleur (12 month contract and no track record of service) or the dreaded BT who we all know about! So much for customer choice. I think that Corbyn chap might just be on to something with talk of nationalisation haha.
