Hi Chris.

Your sentence
"in my view Plus.net seems to be the ISP of choice for visually impaired people at least"

I think should have ended after the "in my view". It's quite a statement to say that Plusnet are the ISP of choice for visually impaired people.

Just to add a bit of balance, anyone that's an existing Sky subscriber would be more than a little crazy not to take their broadband deal which is free or £5 a month for 40GB download allowance per month. So, for a fiver, I get 8MB max speed with 40GB allowance, 10 e-mail addresses and have 4 computers simultaneously connected to the provided wireless router which I got for free. There's more on offer that I just don't take advantage of but this puts the Plusnet deal into perspective for anyone that's an existing Sky user - visually impaired or not.

Having said this about Sky, I was with BT for years and I would have stayed with them if not for this ridiculously cheap deal from Sky.

Regards.

Kevin

Subject: [access-uk] Broadband update



Hi all,
After a few days of researching broadband providers, we're very keen on plus.net and what they have to offer. Does anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with the said provider? We may get the £14.99 deal which gives us a 15 GB download usage limit. It was me who actually suggested them as I've done lots of reading on their website yesterday and, well, I don't know what to say, no other broadband we were looking at (AOL, BT and Sky) can offer what Plus.net can. I do realize though that if we're to go for a free router and free activation, in that if we decide to cancel before the 12 month period, we'd have to pay an extortionate amount, but from what I can see they look promising and I doubt we would. So in my view Plus.net seems to be the ISP of choice for visually impaired people at least, but watch the small print regarding cancellation fees. Anyway, I look forward to your comments and feedback regarding this. Many thanks!
