So much for competition…

I recall that after one network introduced the annual 3.9% rise + inflation the others then followed suit, all at the same 3.9%. So much for competition which will be further reduced if Vodafone are allowed to buy Three (hopefully the CMA will knock that back, again). Virgin Mobile used to offer some very competitive price plans (though I was never personally a customer) which, surprise, surprise were ditched along with that brand when the O2 deal went through (with their higher cost plans remaining).

Former Amazon User

After pondering for quite some time, I finally closed my Amazon account a couple of years ago. I discovered there were alternatives out there for what they do and decided to support these instead. I don’t dispute that Amazon are good at what they do and have succeeded at sucking people in thinking there is no alternative. However, unless more folk choose to do the same I can’t see why Amazon/Bezos have any incentive to change their business practices.

Bring Back EU Roaming Charges!

I'd like charges brought back, preferably at an extortionate rate, so I can go on holiday with friends who aren't glued to their bl**dy phones updating social media, instead of fully participating in the holiday ;-)
