		<description>we only reccomend Broadband as a high bandwidth but ultimately cheap option, if access to the internet  is as vital as it appears it was to this company spend a few thousand pounds a year on a business class service not a souped up domestic connection which is essentially what all DSL services are. 

if you are hosting a revenue generating web service never ever ever do it on a broadband connection, look at a hosted solution until you are successful enough to afford comparable infrastructure. 

caveat emptor - if it&#039;s cheap it&#039;s cheap for a reason - mind you IMHO there is too little questioning by vendors of a customers intentions,  we can&#039;t expect customers to know that their broadband service can disappear for days or weeks with no recourse. 

I&#039;m astonished the judge found in the complainants favour, I suppose if the more costly option was offered at point of sale and rejected the story might have been different.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comments.  I think that&#039;s the point, some businesses aren&#039;t aware that basic broadband services should not be relied on.  That&#039;s why we try to raise awareness here on the GMDDA website. ps. get a spell checker! ;-)</description>
