Is it just me or was coming back to BT a big mista...

I received a call from BT in Jan of this year asking me if I would like to come back to BT for my phone calls(free evening and weekend) line rental and broadband for £24.95, from the very start it was a hassle (they told me it would be hassle free), can I give you my mack code! ehh not tonight we'll call you tomorrow night and then they didn't and then I had to a week later, calls such as this have been going on since then.
A week past saturday I phoned again this time to complain about my broadband usage! I am allowed up to 10gb (the kind BT advisor told me that 10gb would be more than enough for me as he had two kids the same as me and he set them the task of going over the 10gb each month and they couldn't do it) and I had received an email saying my usage was up to 21gb! I don't mind paying the extra but I wish BT had been straight with me at the start and put me on a better package, anyway as I said I spoke to the BT rep and explained my concerns to which he said please give me your mobile phone number and we will phone you back within 48 hours and sort it out, needless to say I am still waiting for that call.
I returned to BT on the promise of saying money so my question is was it a mistake to come back to BT ?   

The mistake is in taking anything that sales people tell you at face value. 10GB is enough for web surfing, email and occasionally watching a program you've missed on BBC iPlayer or the ITV and Channel 4 equivalents.
Unfortunately, kids can use up vast amounts of bandwidth given the opportunity. There are people on this forum getting capped for going over 100GB/month.
Unfortunately, BT now have you trapped. Start paying monthly fees for going over the limit or switch to a more expensive package. Either way, BT wins.
The general rubbish customer service is all part of the BT experience. Just wait til you have to make a support call to India. I don't suppose other ISPs are really any better, unless you go for one of the premuim-priced ones.

  • Deleted emails keep coming back since the last big update on my macbook pro

    Ever since the update that removed the ability to work with spaces on my mac, I have had issues with deleted emails coming back, even after deleting more than once.  Very frustrating.
    Side note:  I preferred using the spaces function when moving from email to internet to other programs.  Not a huge fan of the updated function.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and now it keeps just shutting off and coming back on?

    I updated my iphones 3gs to ios 5 and now it just randomly shuts off and on. whats wrong with it?

    don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.

    If you click on the person's name, you go to the public profile they have posted.  If there is an email address given you can email directly.  If not, you cannot email the person directly.
    You could post a reply to the persons reply on the communities to note their help.

  • My caps lock was stuck and I shut down. Now it's coming back up in safe boot and asking for a password. It won't take my password, I believe because of the caps lock problem. So, how can I get in?

    My caps lock was stuck when I shut down my computer. It is coming back up in safe boot (I had spilled liquid on it).
    It's asking for my password - which has some lower case letters...So now how can I get in?
    Is there a way to change this password or something?
    I have a wireless keyboard, but it wasn't set up - so, It's not recognizing it.
    Any ideas?

    Take your computer to get the keyboard replaced, your lucky it didn't trigger the moisture sensor and brick your machine, so your chances of the machine working well after the keyboard is replaced is likely very good.
    As long as the main keyboard is sending a caps lock signal, it's not going to work even if you get in.
    If you need to remove files off the internal drive, use a Firewire cable (800 to 400 adpater may be needed) and hold T to boot the problem Mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and connect the cable to another Mac, the hard drive will appear on the desktop which you can then remove/erase files.

  • How do I get rid of the 'buump.me' home page? It just keeps coming back.

    I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS and my firefox web browser is compromised with this 'buump.me' home page which I can't get rid of. I've been into the cache, deleted all my cookies, manually changed the home page and the backup home page in the preferences folder. Still keeps coming back. Where is this nasty bit of code lurking in my machine and how can I get rid of it?
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks ideato
    I tried this and lost all my bookmarks and stuff! But found them in a backup file.
    I've solved the problem by creating a new firefox profile and importing my settings and bookmarks from the old one (carefully, so as not to import the virus as well)
    Now the old profile has the virus and the new profile is just fine.
    I could just delete the old profile... but I'd love to find out exactly where this buump.me bug is lurking, so maybe I'll keep the old profile for a while and see if I can find half a day or night free for detective work.

    Hi Omanaomi,
    It sounds like you may be trying to back up your iPhone to iCloud. Try these methods to initiate the backup first:
    iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12520
    If you are still unable to back up your iPhone to iCloud, you should see an alert message, the meaning of which can be explained by this article:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS4576
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Got a wp doc. made back in 1989 - 90 with a Mac SEII, about 70 pages long. Is there any way to translate this and get it into Pages on my new Mac without owning old machines and operating systems to see what i wrote as the Berlin wall was coming down?

    I've got a document , some 70 pages long that was made back in the late '80's with Pagemaker on an SEII mac. The docs are on 2 floppies, but I can't open them, because I can't find any application that can read the files. I've got other documents that go back to 1984, when I bought my first Mac, that I can't open, either. I'd like to be able to get these files into Pages and send them out to family once again. Any recommendations?
    Thanks.

    No other application can open PageMaker files, only PageMaker. You'd need a copy of PageMaker (and license) and a Mac of ancient vintage, one with a floppy drive. The ancient Mac is needed not just to read the floppied but to run PageMaker which won't run on modern Macs.
    Frankly, if you have a paper copy, scan it and start from that!

  • I plugged in my ipod to my computer and I had the option to sync the new software and I did. Just as it was done itunes couldn't recognize my ipod and my only choice would be to restore back to store settings but I would loose ALL my data :(

    Yes, you probably will but then you simply load your backup.

  • HT4899 I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though i delete them they just keep coming back

    I keep getting the same email sent to my I cloud account, even though I delete them they just keep coming back. I now have 7 email that I that I can delete several times a day and they just keep coming back.  Very frustrating  !!  

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

    i try to send e.mail off iphone 4 and message keeps coming back" recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying"

    This means that you did not enter a valid user ID and/or password for the Outgoing (SMTP) mail server when setting up the account. You must enter information for both the incoming and outgoing mail servers; they are separate settings.
