whereas for me post-paid bills, non direct debit options and quality of support were much more important aspects;
I am really not a fan on direct-debit model. It seems like the security model is that the retailer has direct access to your bank account, with minimal (if any) real authorisation, and can ask for however much they want. It is up to the customer to notice and dispute it if it was wrong. Which often only gets fixed on the next bill. Plus if the customer forgot to leave enough money in that account, it can get rather complicated rather quickly. Some - but not all - retailers will at least send an email to let you know they have taken money out however. Some will even email you in advance. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
