Just had an amusing knock at my door. Two scruffy young guys dripping wet with bumfluff on their faces, asking if I had wireless connectivity issues. Asked who they represented: Select Compare. Never heard of them.

They said that I was probably with Virgin or BT and had probably been having dropout issues. They said they could get me much faster internet with a company called Fleur Broadband (seems a legit company).

I asked to see their business card or manager's number and they said they didn't have those details. They were down from Birmingham for the day staying in an AirB&B trying to get business. I said that seems a long way to come for such a job and he said "It's ok mate don't worry I make £1000 a week"

Anybody else had similar cold calling?
