AYCE open to new signups

guys a contract drawn up between 2 parties that says this is what im giving you, you must give me this. in the event that you dont get what they are giving you have a legal right to cancel (duh) its something called breach of contract. you guys heard of that right?
 
i mean u sign a contract on your car and the bank all of a sudden raises your monthly bill to by say 70% for no reason do you think you should still pay?
 
Just in case anyone else was initially confused by the way they're marketing / presenting the "new rates"...

The new "sliding scale" basically amounts to an option to pay for X months in advance, at a reduced rate - the more months you pay for up-front, the cheaper the rate. In some ways, this is better than the previous arrangement, because you now have the option to only pay for one month at a time. On the other hand, paying for 12 months of internet access up front is actually somewhat more risky than a 12 month contract; if DOTCO suddenly disappear for whatever reason, and you have a 12 month contract, then you can just stop paying. If you've already paid up front, however, then you have a problem. Of course, I don't see any particular reason to expect them to do a disappearing act, but it is something to keep in mind.

Still, those people who were reluctant to sign a 12 month contract now have the option to pay month-to-month, so maybe that'll make some people happy.
 
Ah Killaboob is back - lovely

Look - try to understand the problem people had with the contract was that it gave AYCE the right to change it at will and gave no guarantees. A correct analogy would be somebody buying a ferrari on HP from the bank and agreeing in the contract that the bank at any time could come around and swap it for a Fiat Uno. The fact is the contract remains the same!

As to your question of breach of contract. If you take a non-fixed homeloan from the bank, the interest rate goes up (As it did in 97) and you don't pay - you will end up exactly where you belong - living in the street. Try crying "breach of contract" on them. Likely the same will happen (to a lessor or greater degree) when you don't pay AYCE.

Be warned - if I find you in the bins outside my house I got a beeg dawg that likes to have a bit of a snack every now and again :D
