Unlimited broadband no speed throttling, only kidding
I signed up because I wanted Unlimited broadband with no speed throttling, and that´s what I was sold or so I thought, all was well for the first month and then after that suspiciously every evening at around 5pm my internet becomes snails pace slow, no response from them regarding this just the same old party line of well that is when lots of people use the internet and the lines in your area only support a certain bandwidth. Bo&%$cks
Intuitive and accurate
What can any of us say about Google, Google is awsome, by far the most Intuitive and accurate of all the search engines I´ve used.
Between maps, gmail, shopping, translate, android, analytics and adwords they´ve got the market sewn up. Is there anything that you can´t do with Google or one of its apps, errr, No.
And the best part about the whole concept is that most of it is free, so they do everything better than their competitors and they offer it free to the end user.
Congratulations Google, winning formula!
John Lewis
Quality at a price
I love john lewis and I shop there once or twice a year when I want to treat myself or buy an expensive gift for someone.
They have a great variety of high quality items and the service has always been exceptional.
Expect to pay top dollar though, and don´t buy ordinary items there because you may as well just buy it elsewhere and then burn the 10% extra it will cost you at John Lewis.
Despite the extra cost if you are looking for something special and cost is unimportant go to JohnLewis.
Ladbrokes
Cured
I was always curious about online gambling, so I tried ladbrokes about a year ago after being lured in by one of their promotional offers, needless to say I lost all of my money and was immediately cured of my curiosity. Never to return again.
Personally I would not recommend Ladbrokes not because the service was bad but because I lost my money lol, of course if I had won it would be a different story, but then again if I had won maybe I would have gone on to develop a gambling addiction and lose my family and home and self respect. You just never can tell what the outcome will be.
Stay away would be my recommendation!
Ebay
Awsome
I buy and sell on ebay regularly and I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially being a parent, I save so much time and money making my purchases for toys and baby products with ebay.
Last month I made about 50 pounds profit from my sales, I know that it´s not a lot but it´s enough to pay for a months worth of nappies and bepanthanol or a gift for my girlfriend and it all adds up at the end of the day, plus it´s a good way to spend some of my free time too!
Start ebaying!
Tesco
Savings and service!
I love shopping with Tesco, the service is always excellent in my experience and when I add up all of the money I save each year with my clubcard points and their ongoing promotions it just convinces me even more to continue shopping with Tesco.
I would recommend them to anybody and also if you are already a tesco customer and just haven´t gotten round to signing up for your clubcard yet, my advice is do it as soon as possible, it really changes the relationship you have with them.
Moneysavingexpert
Informative
I almost always use moneysavingexpert before making a purchase of a financial package or contract.
It´s a really informative website with a broad view on varying subjects, all with only one aim, saving you money!
Brilliant concept for a website.
Ryanair
Shocking
For the past 5 years I have been flying about 5 times a year with ryanair.com, until the following happened;
I was unable to print my boarding pass out the day before flying because ryanair were having tech problems and I made the mistake of thinking "they will know that their website was having issues and will accept my reference number instead of the boarding pass" How mistaken I was.
They charged me 40 pounds per person to print off a boarding pass and they spoke to me as if I was lying about their technical issues, I made the choice there and then to never fly with ryanair ever again.
Amazon
The good, the fair and the poor!
Amazon is a great site there is no question but sometimes they just don´t get it things right, I´ve been using Amazon for years now and I´ve experienced the best and the worst of their service.
The truth is that I will always keep going back to Amazon because 80% of the time they get it right and when they don´t they always do their best to fix it.
Highly recommended!
T Mobile
Good service but self control is needed!
I´ve been with T-mobile over a year now and I´ve had a great experience with them, the coverage is excellent even in those places where others can´t get a signal I can always make calls.
For me the other great benefit is the service add-ons, I use the internet booster, the 08 and the international booster, and this gives me unlimited internet, 30 minutes of 08 number calls, and 30 minutes of calls to my family abroad all for only a few pounds extra a month. Which is great for me because it means i don´t have to pay BT for a landline because I do everything I need to from my mobile saving me around 30 pounds a month :)
Definately recommend
Tyre Shopper
Terrible service
I ordered my tyres in preparation for a long car journey to visit family, when I called the fitting centre to confirm a time for the fitting, they told me that the tyres hadn´t arrived and they would need to call the manafacturer to find out what was going on. After several phone calls it turns out that they have no ideas where my tyres are or when they will be delivered, so I just have to wait!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
I then called tyre-shopper.con to ask for a refund and the lady on the phone tells me they´ve known for a while that there are serious delays on the brand of tyres I ordered.
WELL WHY WASN´T THIS MENTIONED ON YOUR WEBSITE?
THERE WAS NO DELAY IN TAKING PAYMENT FROM MY CARD WAS THERE.
Any person or company that takes payment for a service that they know they cannot provide is essentially a thief.
Refund please!
*UPDATE* In the reply from tyre-shopper my name is spelt incorrectly, with this level of attention to detail it is unsurprising that your customers including myself end up going over to your competitors, I went to blackcircles and they have been excellent, you are assigned your individual customer service rep who actually manages the whole process from purchase to fitting.

Our sincerest apologies that this incident occurred as you were preparing for a long journey. Within our vast network we usually deliver the tyres the customer ordered ready for fitting upon arrival.
We will look into this matter further to investigate.
Kind regards
