I've just been emailing with an ISP on behalf of a client.
We need to set up a VPN within the business and so I reached out to the ISP to obtain the PPPOE credentials.
"Sure", they said, "We can do that. We just need confirmation from the account holder and you need to upgrade to premium support. £100 per month."
And they attached a shiny graphic showing how you get guaranteed call backs within 15 minutes during normal business hours, not weekends, and also "Advanced Features - including option to activate bridge mode on your router".
Call backs during working hours is hardly what I'd call premium support. And as for 'activating bridge mode', I've been in the router, the option is right there, I just need the PPPOE credentials and I can disable the router's connection and set up my own.
What an utter rip-off!!!
Just ridiculous.
