Loads of them here too, I've been encouraging them into neighbors land where owners don't bother trying to control ragwort. They've had a decent impact too!

You should sell them, more than a pound each. Drought resistant, no winter fodder & better money than cattle. The only issue is dealing with the grass growing between your ragworths:D

Yes my husband was watching old lorry videos. He leaves 2 or 3 tabs open at a time. I was hardly on it last Friday at all. I nearly cried when I got the bill.

You can get a PAYG sim with three and have the same Internet with no extra cost if you go over the allowance. They just slow your Internet down. 20 euro a month.

The dingle has the first of the month as the new month but it's actually the 15th is the new month. A text was sent to the dongle that we had exceeded the limit. I have never read any of the texts on the dongle ever. The meteor store set up the dongle when I bought it.

I have it here.. When they 1st turned on 4g in our area we were getting 20-40 mb that's dropped to about 4-8 now. Pretty poor service really but I'm glad to be getting anything.

You can only try again in the hope you get a nicer person. Are ye in a contract? If not treating to leave.

Main reason I left the pay monthly with three. They can't charge you extra if you only top up by 20 euro.

I tried to argue that as their store employee had set up the dongle they were at fault for putting the wrong date of the start of the month on it. She just said I would have been advised of the bill date when l signed up. I ended up hanging up. Also charged extra for roaming on holidays on the dongle..... Good job it's a big milk cheque this month

they have a forum here on boards, if you play along with them, they might try to get you some goodwill, the reps here are usually more approachable
