How ya'll put up with theat racket/ you OWN provider fails to give service and you have to pay them to fix what you are paying them to work? So doesn't anyone think that they maybe "break" stuff just so you have to call them to "fix" it and they can get more cash out of you?

But on the topic, let me see if I understand this correctly. Orange is a company that provides broadband to consumers In Great Britain. They install it in your house and if it ever gets quirky or you have problems then you have to pay THEM (5 pence) to get it working again? |

Yes.
Once again, Welcome to Rip Off Britain. Actually, saying that, the company I use as an ISP do seem to be amongst the minority, and seem to value their customers rather well. The last time the internet went down for 20 minutes, the phoned me to apologise. And you never have to wait more than 10 minutes to get an email reply. But all the big companies, are wholly, and totally useless when it comes to support.

The idea behind alot of todays products is "Lets make it fragile so it will break soon, and bring out an even worse product in the next few months so the customer will need to buy the new product because the one he has will be broken" Money drives people nuts these days...

I'm with Virgin and they used to charge 50p a minute ..... nobody ever rang them, so they scrapped that idea (listened to feedback they said), I suppose NO FEEDBACK was pretty easy, even for them, to understand.
Now they have given us a FREE helpline, that routes straight through to an Indian Call Centre. Trouble is the guy you speak to has cycled 10 miles to work, through a monsoon, from his hut and I guess you can unterstand, he doesn't really see your slow Broadband connection as much of a problem, in the overall order of things ...... even if you can get him to uunderstand the question.
