    Don’t sign any long term contracts with any ADSL Provider unless you are sure th Tom Mack -- 16/09/06

    Do not use Dodo ADSL- They have really bad customer service. And technical support.

    On their unlimited plan. You start downloading until it get to 1G and then the service starts to have ‘problems’ and you can’t connect no more.
    When you call technical support, they give you a phone number to call only to find that a machine answers and ask you to leave your phone number. And then no one call back.
    When you call customer service, you speak to a person, they redirects you to a blank line and then you hear a dial tone. Which means the line hung up.

    I spoke to a customer sales representative called Steve to pay the bill using credit card. When I asked him to select a plan for the next month, instead of having to call back, his reply was : “ You have to call back next month to select.” And then he hung up on me. This is the kind of service Dodo provides.
    I have never spoke to any customer service person who hangs up on the customer.
    And then later I find that my service was suspended. Even though I had just spoke to Steve 5 minutes earlier to pay for that month using my credit card.

    I am on a 3 months contract with DoDo. I still have 2 months left to go. After this kind of customer service I get I will not be using them after the 3 months period.

    Note: If you disconnect before 3 months they charge you a disconnection fee $100.

    Don’t sign any long term contracts with any ADSL Provider unless you are sure that you trust the service.

    No operating system can ever properly protect a computer from trojans as long as users continue to do silly things. Just because Linux is immune to your standard drive-by viruses it does not mean that it can escape trojan horses.
