Hullo All, It's a shame that ISPs didn't jump at the exchange offer! I think another approach would be to educate the public more, put in newspaper articles and promote those that have joined. A list of all ISPs that have joined up and those that haven't might help. I know this is not a very polite approach but the truth is the customers deserve better!
