Re: Avoiding installation fee for a new customer

Students do indeed have long memories. An interesting point. Looking at this in greater depth, one could think that in a 4 or 5 student house, one will make him/herself responsible for organising t'Internet.

That person has the longest memory if there is anything to grumble about; he/she'll be getting a kicking from the others for taking so long and when it eventually comes, the others will merely pay their whack to the lead.

Later, when they're out inn the wide world, there's a case for saying that c. 60% of them will find themselves in a VM area and more than 50% of those will find that the VM service in their area, even the 50 meg basic, will be faster than FTTC due to copper distance from the cabinet.

So the loss of future business to VM, if they do the calculation at all, wold be somewhat small because of long memories.

Does that make sense?
