Hi As someone about to go on cruising single handed and wanting a broadband connection I am also interested in the lists response.
A second subject that I wonder if the list would like to pass on some knowledge on is the fitting of solar panels. Any recommendations? Inverters? Number of batteries and so on Ifor Soon to be nb Abigail Jenna -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Napier Sent: 18 November 2008 16:29 To: Canals List Subject: [canals-list] T-mobile don't want me My 18 month contract for mobile broadband with T-mobile came to an end yesterday. Since I'm presently paying GBP29 per month, I called customer services to see what deal they would offer to keep me on board. The answer was - none. They are only prepared to give me the existing deal with my Huawei E220. When I said that meant I would be taking my custom elsewhere, the adviser just said "Sorry about that". Guess they haven't heard of the concept of market saturation, or indeed, the need for active sales effort in a recession. So I'm in the market for a new deal. Looks like a choice between Voda and 3, with 3 more flexible, but I'm uneasy about 3's coverage. OTOH, 3 also offer what looks like a neat wireless router that takes a Huawei modem, for just under GBP70. Any comments or advice, folks? I know we've discussed this before, but it's a rapidly changing situation. -- All the best Bruce There are no strangers on the cut, only boaters we've yet to meet.
