Sayonara, Tele 2
For well over a year, I have been dissatisfied with my ISP - Tele 2 . but I have been to much of a lazy sod to do something about it.
I changed that tonight when I came across an advertisement at telmore.dk (my mobile telephony provider). The advertisement informed me that Telmore just started an ISP business offering me:
- Cancellation of my current ISP subscription.
- A 10 Mbps/1 Mbps line for DKK 299,- a month (Tele 2 charge me DKK 340,- a month for my current 2 Mbps/512 kbps line).
I other words telling me: "Pay us less, do not lift a finger, and we will quintuple the speed of your ADSL line".
How can you say no to an offer like that?
My main beef as one of Tele 2's paying customers is that I feel really left out when Tele 2 continue to be unable to provide their fast 8 and 20 Mbps lines where I live. I know Tele 2 has probably seen a lot of internal turmoil since the 2007 Telenor takeover, but still … the 8 Mbps line was announced in early September, 2006, with 20 Mbps following in late October the same year. You should think that by April 2008, they would at least be able to provide some sort of roadmap, revealing when different parts of the country will get the network upgraded.
Thankfully, this is all now just water under the bridge…
