Hi, you said Scheme twice. I think the more accurate word is scam.

What you say makes sense although it is not going to benefit us or the BT customers who may not be as aware as they should be about the fall in the overall standard of whatBT offer their customer today, or not. standards that so many are experiencing.

Regards, CJ.

It was thanks to the Tories doing another instance of nicking the family
silver and then selling it back to them in the eighties.

The infrastructure before the mid eighties had been bought and paid for
by the populous, not by shareholders or corporate investment.

Now BT has the advantage of the legacy infrastructure to command a big
chunk of the market.

Ask me again in a few years when the postal service has gone the same way.

It seems they love the idea of making Joe Public feel great about
himself because he was able to buy a few shares in what already belonged
to him, knowing that as soon as the price goes up a few percentage
points from the artificially low issue price he will run and sell back
to the share-owning chinless wonders who came up with the scheme.

They all laugh up their sleeves at this scheme, which works again and again.

Peter Bonfield selling off what was then called BT mobile was a huge
business disaster!
A typical corporate story - bottom line fiddled by bean counters, and sod
the service from whence the company evolved!

        Clive and all,
        
        BT are really p***ing me off right now...
        
        Firstly all this spam filtering nonsense, then the fact that I keep
        getting emails telling me I don't appear to be using my 'free' 50GB
        cloud storage...which I am not using because the bloody BT cloud app
is
        written in Qt and as such is not accessible.
        
        And don't get me started on Indian call centres, where I am forced
to
        try to believe the bloke I am speaking to is called 'Steve' or
'Kevin'
        when clearly it isn't.  Which is insulting to both me and 'Steve'.
And
        because English is his second language he can only follow a flow
chart
        which has answers to questions asked by 90% of the muppets who phone
        them, but not the questions asked by the 10% who, like me, have a
        technical question, or more often a complaint.
        
        I am seriously thinking of ditching BT and moving to somebody else
if I
        can keep the same email address.
        
        BT just don't listen to their customers.
        
        Mike

                Hi, I seem to be getting this lists posts with BT to date.
What is
                irritating is that on our BTInternet address which we do not
use and
                have never used we have recently received an increasing
number of spam
                on the BT address. As we have never used it the only
conclusion has to
                be that it seems BT are the culprits and are guilty of
spamming us and I
                suspect many others. We may bee soon seeking for alternative
options to BT.

reason BT should be

likely not be very

either.(but that is another

                                In the last three or four weeks I have
suddenly been getting very few
                                messages from access-uk.
                                
                                I spoke to Mo and he suggested this might be
BT's over-zealous
                                spam-filtering, which is incredibly hard to
turn off because the site is
                                not very accessible and the setting is
buried deep, a bit like the
                                Vogon's planning application to demolish the
Earth.
                                
                                So I have unsubscribed from access-uk on BT
and rejoined from my
                                raspberryvi account.
                                
                                I am instantly getting stuff from the list
again.
                                
                                So if you're suddenly getting very little
stuff from the list and you're
                                a BT customer, it's their fault.  Oh...of
course...you probably won't
                                get this message.
