Third Generation (3G) Mobile Network
April 24, 2007
I made a request to them to port my previous mobile number to the recently purchased contract with 'three'. After 25 days of the purchase when nothing happened. I called 'three' on 10th April to confirm. To my surprise they, asked for the PAC code required to port the number again and told me to wait for a week. According to them the number would have been ported on 17th, so I called them again on 18th April 07, and they asked me to wait for 24 hours due to some technical problem. After 24 hours of no resolution I... read full review »

British Sky Broadcasting
April 21, 2007
Sky have been taking the piss out of people for years but as long as there is no real competition they will continue to do so but in this instance they have hit an all time low. They stole my nine year old sons easter money, they disgrace me. My son ordered WWE wrestling for £14.95 which is, in my opinion, daylight robbery. He watched about 20 mins of it before it suddenly disappeared from his sky plus box.. I rang sky tech who told me they would send a signal to solve the problem and that sky customer services would refund the... read full review »

Norton 360 AntiVirus
April 18, 2007
I bought this as a download but could not install it. Norton help desk (including their 360 expert) spent a total of about 5 hours on 3 occasions trying to fix it. This was done with them controlling my computer. The last person completely wrecked my computer by deleting most of the registry and not being able to carry out a system restore (he also deleted all restore points) or a registry reload (the backup was corrupted). Norton management are not interested in my problem. On the good side though I now know how to get everlasting... read full review »

Vintage Sofas
April 10, 2007
Having found the perfect sofas for our first home, we paid up front for a pair of sofas (over £1000). When it came to delivery, the the company constantly stalled and when we eventually lost our patience, they had disappeared from their shop in Camden! Unfortunately, we were not the only victims and many people lost a lot of money at the hands of this Andy that was running the show.

HP F380 Printer/scanner/copier
January 24, 2007
Bought HP F380 printer/scanner/copier from Tesco's only to find that the ink ran out quick. I assumed that it came with a very small amount of ink for reasons of enhancing the sale of the printer and decided next time round would purchase a bigger amount of ink to last longer. Apparently this is not possible. It seems that the two cartridges that were supplied with the printer are not purposely made smaller ( 5ml ) to enhance the sale of the printer, they are the only size available for it. It seems for all other HP printers that if you... read full review »

Son bought Xbox360 on the first day available 11/05. It has had two hardware failures since then, both outside of 90 day warranty. Both times we have insisted that MS replace unit at no charge due to State of Maine law prohibiting limitation of implied warranty/merchantability for up to four years of coverage. Incidental and consequential damages are also NOT disallowed. MS customer service is an oxymoron.
