So your argument is that those people should instead be denied a service? The CPW pricing structure is to sell at very little above cost, and it cannot be possible to provide decent support at that price. To improve the service you have to increase the cost, and deprive a lot of people of affordable internet access. >> However, I still defend that business model, >> > I have only just read this! :-( I am finding it dificalt to be member of > a group with other members in it who can defend such a business model. > Well it isn't the group's view! (Although if everyone who disagreed with me left then it would become the group's view by default!) There is nothing illegal in what CPW are doing and the demand for that service is there. Given the choice between killing the service and keeping it as it is, I don't think the "greater good" is served by telling CPW to kill the service, or to fundamentally change the business model (increase the price & increase the service). I know a lot of people who use the service and are happy with it. I'm a pragmatist - I'd love to argue in favour of CPW halving their prices and doubling their quality of service, but much as it would be nice it's not exactly realistic! -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) @ 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
