    Frogfoot are useless

    Day five. Still offline. Unacceptable. Needs urgent resolution. We need a technician this morning but Frogfoot says hopefully tomorrow and Vox have been useless when trying to escalate it. HOW is this acceptable when their turnaround time should be 72 hours???

    What is Frogfoot like these days?

    Just a question out of curiosity, but what is Frogfoot like today? Did they get better, do they still cause issues more than they should, or does it depend on which area you are staying or which ISP you are using?

    200/200 Best Fibre Deals

    Okay, well, not really. Certain FNOs tend to have weird packages, and some ISPs to my knowledge haven't updated their website yet to reflect those new speeds. For example, Openserve began a 300/150 package, but a lot of ISPs still have the 250/125 package on their website. Unless they did a free...
