I've checked BT's current offers, and I would save a good deal if I signed up for broadband - it's just taking the plunge, so to speak.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162585.post-89815021681362064362007-06-08T19:18:00.000+01:002007-06-08T19:18:00.000+01:00I am amazed that you can lose a job with three day...I am amazed that you can lose a job with three days' notice and no compensation - can you take your employers to court? If you are based in the UK surely there is employment protection legislation? What an awful thing to happen, in any event, my sympathies.<BR/>Broadband is getting cheaper all the time, we use BT and the costs went down a lot recently.
