We all have our hot points. What is the biggest thing that would make you want to change providers? Would it be price? Custome service? Downtime? Extras? Limits on access?

What would do it for you? For me it is price. If I could find a better deal without sacrificing much quality and speed I would move.

I think if the service went down for a long time it would bother me most. I was thinking maybe if my speeds got overloaded, but I do not download much so I would probably not even notice. If my service went down for a few days though, I think I might go crazy. I spend too much time online and am addicted. I would hate to have to go through withdrawals. I would like to get a connection right into my brain, if I could.

If they went down all weekend! Actually I do not like to change services. I like to find a good one a stick with it. Too much hassle and worrying when you have to change. I am the same with everything. I try not to switch.

I know what would make me changing! Moving out of my parents house and being addicted to internet, yet not being able to afford what my parents have.

So I need to think cheaper.

Even an expensive service is probably5-7 pounds a week. Certainly you can make that much at what you do. Even if you have a partial job. It is all about priorities. If it is important to you, you can afford it.

What you need to do is make a list of everything you spend money on every week, and how much you spend. Be realistic, cheating will only hurt your analysis. When you lay it out, I bet you could find the money for the broadband without really sacrificing anything else.

Do you smoke? For example, how much petrol do you use?

Could points raven but I am not good with the numbers. I spend whatever I make so it is hard for me to save to pay bills. I never have any extra!

I do smoke, so maybe I can quit that and pay for my broadband.

Sounds like a good plan. I do not think smoking should superceed surfing the net!

Plus if you can work an extra hour or two a week, you can pay for it easy.

I just got a notice in the post that my rates are going to be going up 25% next month. Apparently my price was a special rate for new sign-ups and expired after 6 months.

I can tell you right now that such games will make me very unlikely to sign up with them when the six months are up on my contract.

So providers goofing around with billing and not giving their best price to their best customers would definately turn me off.
