PATIENCE is wearing thin for residents in Tarbert after enduring more
than a month without any Vodafone reception.

Problems began on December 1 with many customers unable to receive or
make calls or send and receive text messages.

Bastards, what about PAYG customers (that Vodafone promote PAYG) who can't
use their phones?

After that long you should be able to end your contract without paying
the remainder and get a PAC from them. I did this for the same
problem at a different location anyway. Took a while to speak to
anyone with any knowledge or sense at Vodafone - really made me
angry. I don't think they're as good as they used to be, although, I
guess that's personal experience!

How about laying the blame on the people responsible for the problem,
BT:

"The problem with our site is that there is a link failure. This is
managed by BT and we're currently waiting on them to fix the problem."

Legally, the consumer's contract is with the service provider and it
is their responsibility to ensure performance of the contract. Any
contract between the service provider and their suppliers is their
problem to sort out.
