My current ISP provides Internet, nothing else (no TV packages, no mobile packages etc.) and do that extremely well. They also have 5-star technical support and if you need to call them you get someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't talk down to you as soon as they realise you have technical knowledge yourself. Vote with your wallet. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
