froudfinaly, although I have yet to see them reduce my bill since the dropped the price a few months back08:42
froudwhen they drop the price are they supposed to drop it also for existing customers08:43
maskiei would have thought so ... you have a contract with them 08:43
froudnah to busy, but it is on my list, dreading it08:44
froudcontract yes,08:44
froudyou cant get service witout that08:44
froudperhaps the contract states that I am locked into a price08:45
froudI think it was six months08:45

froudno I bought the modem08:45
froudpaid it cash08:45

maskiethe you should not have a contract and they should reduce your price but then that is telscum08:46
froudAs a business user, still pay 680 a month + 250 for +3GB08:46
maskiehmmm ... should a business use not pay 80008:47
