Story: Concern grows about Bulldog's broadband service

Hi Guys,

Nice article on Bulldog.

Working in the IT departmrnt for a city based firm I was foolishly tempted to sign up with Bulldog a year ago.
I needed a fast relievable connection to allow me to work form home.

Well trouble from day one with this company is all you are likely to get!

I got so frustrated with their appalling service and my connection problems I set up www.bulldogdsl.biz which was until recently sponsored on Google.

I never put much work into the site as I didn't want to waste any more of my time.

In the end I sent over 100 faxes to bulldog (an archaic DoS attack) which finally resulted in a call from Katrina kenworthy the complaints manager. Eventually I ended up with a stable service and 4 months after it was promised I got a partial refund for 3 months of my service.

I also found one day that Bulldog had blocked an entire Class A network in china. Having a Chinese fiancé this was rather annoying. not as annoying as trying to get the issue resolved. un answered emails and unreturned calls. Until... I emailed all of their directors with an obnoxious email. If they will proudly place the names of all their top people on their web site.... After speaking with their director of network operatiosn it turns out they were recieving spam mail so blocked the entire network (a very large newtork almost all of china). They could have simply blocked smtp email only. In my opinion technically incompitent :)

Anyway in summary well done for finally publicising what is certainly one of the worst companies I have ever ever had to deal with in my life.

Glad to say I have just moved house. I had to have BT issue a notice to Bulldog so that they could disconnect my DSL service. Bulldog did not respond to email or phone calls requesting my service cancelled. NO more bulldog harahh!

regards

Gareth
