TD has been thinking about why he misunderstood that the Newnet contracts were annual ( on some packages) and not monthly, and reprised the conversation that he had had with the young lady in that company.
He now understands where the reference to a twelve month period arose..................it is to do with the referral discount.
If you are introduced to Newnet by an existing subscriber, then that subscriber becomes eligible for a months free connection.............but only when the new subscriber has been such for a twelve month period.
This makes sense as it would be all too easy for a subscriber to keep introducing people, enjoying his free month only for the new subscribers to then disappear. Played like that, a subscriber could enjoy an endless line of free months.........but, make the referree stay stay twelve months before the discount kicks in, problem solved.
TD is now the proud possessor of his MAC from VirginMedia, and is off to scratch head a bit more then dive into the wide world of migration.
