Wrong forum Customers tied to Vodafone after BT transfer deal

Hi

Saw this on

http://www.independent.ie/business/...-vodafone-after-bt-transfer-deal-1835647.html

Is this legal I was hoping to maybe change in the future depending what other providers can supply at a lower cost?

Any help would be great

Thanks
Noel

I can't see why you still can't change whenever you want? As it stands, BT's deal is the cheapest going when it comes to fixed line dsl broadband. The only other cheaper alternative may be wireless (although many of them charge the same for what is a poorer product) as you can do away with line rental - but the service more often than not is inferior to fixed line. The same with 'mobile' 'broadband'.
One positive thing to come out of this is billing. Billing was always BT Irelands achilles. I'd imagine 90% of their customers gripes concerned inaccurate bills going out. Vodafone couldn't possibly do any worse in this respect.
