If you’re considering switching ISPs then this week’s news that Dodo has copped a “direction” to comply with complaints handling codes might have made you think twice. Authorities say Dodo has made significant progress, but still “has a way to go” before it is fully compliant with industry codes.
Customer support is the big grey area when you’re shopping for an Internet plan, and sometimes the last thing on your mind if you're after a cheap deal. Unless you visit sites like
