ISP's Discount To Pensioners.

[Jims Brother]

Are there any Internet Service Providers out there that offer a genuine discount to people on a Pension. If there are, please name them.

The Federal Government want pensioners to have and use the internet, but they only give pensioners a pathetic allowance every three Months.

Thanks in Advance.

The prices for these ISP's is terrible.:

There plenty of better options for pensioners.

These are even worse!
