Yes, let the buyer beware! Check the status of your local phone-lines before
you sign up for anything. I think your case is a Trading Standards issue,
but on the other hand, you can check things beforehand on the Wanadoo
website by typing in your postcode and finding out what services apply to
you. Wanadoo aren't into goodwill gestures, clearly.

Hi Jim,
Personally, I'll never go with Wanadoo again. After paying 22 pounds per
month for the larger 2 gig download rate, and 19 pounds per month for what
I supposed was going to be 2 MB kbps of download speed, I found my
connection really very slow. On checking I found that my download speed was
more like 750 kbps per sec. I called Wanadoo and was told that BT in my area
did not have the infrastructure to enable my 2 mb kbps rate. Fine, I
suggested, that's understandable, so what about some kind of rebate on my 19
pounds per month? After all, I agreed to pay for 2 mb kbps, which I'm not
getting, albeit due to BT and the lack of modern infrastructure, but could
we not come to some kind of agreement? . Tough, says wanadoo, you read the
small print when you signed up, so ... too bad.

Hi List,
I'm about to bite the bullet and go for a broadband connection. I am
currently with wanadoo and will probably stay with them. However, what are
the do's and dont's re broadband, what pitfalls might I encounter, all
contributions welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
