Don't worry, I'm being a little on the misleading side aswell! ;)

I work for Zen, and the £11.75 per month price is a staff-perk, it's normally £34.99 (well, it will be from November 1st, when the price drops).

The moral of the story is: always look into a special offer being taking it at face-value! :thumbs:

You can get 512K no contract for £9.99!!!
its wicked.. how do i know? cos i got it ;)

wicked. join up quick offer ends soon

Just to add onto this offer, the initial activation fee seems to still stand...

So, you also have to pay £58.75 if you want a 12-month fixed contract, or £69.99 for a rolling monthly contract......that's not clear until you get a few steps into the order-process (not that I was going to order, I already have a 1Mbps connection for £11.75 per month, from another provider). Just thought I would add that, because as he said, this site is all about information! :)

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I just went another step into the order process......the £9.99 offer only stands FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS! That definitely isn't clear from the start. Oh, and if you want a normal-rate technical support number to call during 9-5 weekdays, that's an extra £2 per month; otherwise, you pay £1 per minute when you call for technical support.

Amazing what you find when you look into a special offer, isn't it! ;)

Errm, places like Sweden & Japan already have 100Mbps internet connections......someone I know in the business negotiated a deal with the MOD for a 45Mbps leased line, for a considerable amount of money (think 7-figures per year)

like i just said. people are getting ripped off for broadband, this place is about infomantion and helping each other out right :) so only seems right that people should know about this web site. just like a web site that would help you with modding you car. same thing.

yea 10mb does exist, same thing as u get in Uni my uni has T1 line dont know how fast that is but its pretty fast.

the government uses like 3gb line for their internal MOD etc.. so trust me it exists :wave:
