With telecoms, it seems, you get what you pay for. Since moving to Tesco’s “cheaper than BT!” home phone service the other week, I’ve lost caller ID, my phone has developed a fault that means the ringer goes constantly if someone hangs up before you get the chance to answer, and my broadband has gone to hell (I can barely access websites, let alone any multimedia).  Oh, and you cannot get through to the support line and they don’t return your messages.

Still, it’s cheap!
