That I don't just plug and play my corded landlines.
- You're right. If you don't you will have problems, of course. But we recommend that you do plug the phones in.
I have to receive new hubs
- Pretty sure Royal Mail do the delivering, so yes, you do have to pick them out of the letter box. I'm sorry.
I have to deal with new broadband passwords
- Not if you set the new hub to your old hub's SSID(Wireless Name) and Password - then everything just connects
I need to deal with my call minder voicemails
- I know nothing about this, but imagine if they are linked to the phone you are using, this will not change - Either turn off 1571 or set it to more rings than your call minder service. I doubt this current service will just disappear.
I need to learn new dial tones
- Same old Great British Dial Tone.
(not sure about if I can still take phones off the hook)
- You lift the receiver, and place it down, just as you would now
So if I didn't haev to do a single thing and a BT man came to the house, installed new hubs, deal with changing all passwords or retaining current ones, set it all up for the same recorded voicemails, same number of rings before it goes to voicemail, plugged it all in, made sure I had the same settings (with no blocking of international calls etc etc ) - left it exactly as it is now other than the fact 020 has to be dialed I think in as well as out which is a nuisance and a change, then fine.
- To be fair, you are asking a lot there. When you run out of plugs in an extension lead, does the electric company rewire your house for you? Or do you just follow a small set of simple tasks to make your new item power up?
Instead of that help I will be left with hours and hours of my time robbed
- Only if you never plug them in, yes.
from me for a service which basically will be worse.
- I have DV and I would say it's better in almost every way except for where it is exactly the same - only speaking from experience, but… you don't want to know about proven real world examples now, do you?
If my £200 a month charge went down to £50 or if there were no longer charges for calls each month etc etc great. instead on almost every front DV will be worse than what we now have.
- I would be querying the amount, even if it was 'fair' because a lot of companies do shift the price for you, if you just ask about it. Sky were a great one for this if you even suggested you were cancelling, you would suddenly have a lower bill, and more TV channels.
Hope that helped.
