Pop telecom?

[mygoldfishbowl]

I've never heard of them but they're offering broadband for £1 per month with £10 per month line rental.

Anyone have any experience of them?

Can only see business bundles on that website?

Well Sky have been given the elbow & I've taken the chance & signed up for a 12 month contract, £132 all in + £9.99 optional new router delivery.

Seems too good to be true ...................... ?
The router looks to be a basic netgear thing ?

Pop telecom phoned me this morning to ask why I didn't complete my online order. I did, I said, I have an order number & everything, she was very helpful & assured me she'd get the ball rolling.

The way I left my connection to Sky is that they were not cancelling my broadband yet but were sending me a PAC code. Pop say they don't need one so as soon as I get a delivery from Pop I can just cancel sky.

@gpo746.. Might be too good to be true but I figure it's worth a try, what's the worst that could happen. Don't know what make or anything about the router but my old Thomson router is a good few years old now so a new one has got to be worth the price of delivery.

Watching this one with interest. Let us know you you get on, Mr Fishy.


Oli.

Certainly will.

As from today I am connected & everything is ok.

A very painless process involving one letter from BT stating if I didn't want disconnecting I should contact them immediately.

A letter from POP giving me a connection date.

The only thing was the router didn't turn up in time & I had to pick it up from local post office today, but I think that was royal mails fault & not pop's.

The internet supplier is Talk Talk & for those that may be interested the router is a TP-link TD-W8951ND.

How do they manage to do it cheaper than talk talk? I paid up front for the line rental, about £120 or so and talktalk bill me £3.50 a month. Not long into a new contract with them though so if you are still happy in 10 months time I might as well switch.

^^ I have no idea how they do it cheaper. I didn't even know who the provider was until I plugged the router in & was changing the password in the router homepage & noticed Talk Talk in the settings.

I've done a speed test & it's about 1mbps slower than I was getting with sky. The fastest I've ever got is 12 & I'm down to about 10.9 but I don't notice the difference & for all I know it may settle down over time & go back up.
