In the past I was with an ISP that didn’t allow overages, so monthly bills were predictable. They required 1 months payment as a deposit up front and ran a credit check. The only alternative was dial up.

Just because someone isn’t giving you credit and never will doesn’t mean they won’t want your credit details. Nor that you will have leverage to refuse.

Credit check and deposit? Since they had no competitor, I guess they could get away with it.

Yes, some companies are rotten, but some do provide just as simple ways to get service without a credit check.
