Yeah it's not an airport and I don't need to announce it, I don't care.

I don't know what's changed but things just feel pretty disappointing now, how long it takes to get an answer, lack of response, etc.

Previously on a business contract for fibre to the prem, 900 meg, to get a /29 to my house. This was unceremoniously reduced to a /32. I asked why this was the case if I was on a business contract but was told that just because it was a business service didn't necessarily mean having anything more than a single IP address change.

No point staying on the business service just for a /32, so asked to change to a residential contract instead to reduce costs and then have a /29 on that as well and pay the extra. Not an option. So... off to Olilo. Works out cheaper than what I was paying Zen anyway on the business contract (Olilo works out a couple of quid a month cheaper for a residential + /29). The way Zen handled the IP stuff has really pissed me off. It took an absolute age to get through on the phone when I've needed to talk to them about the above, and the cancellation. They used to be good at that.

Impressive how quickly that much goodwill can evaporate.

I drive different vehicles for my employer, and I've just got an S172 NIP for 69 on a 70mph dual carriageway. I was in what I thought was a car derived van, but turns out is a light commercial so is a 60 limit. Is there an easy way to identify what is and isn't a car derived van? FWIW I'm not arguing with this, but trying to understand what I can do in the future to understand how to identify what is/isn't a car derived van.

When we book vehicles, we just get given... something. We've got lots of different types of cars and also lots of vans. Some are Renault Kangoo which it looks to be are car derived vans, so 70 limit. We don't have access to the v5s as they're lease vehicles. Looking on the different Government websites (check tax and check MOT) there's nothing there which shows what it is. The classification for all of our vans including an old Vauxhall Corsa van which is 100% apparently a car derived van are all N1 so that doesn't help me.

The unladen weight of the van I was in was 1.5 ton, and the payload is 700kg so I totally get why it's over the 2 ton limit for light commercial, but then we've got cars in our fleet with gross vehicle weights of 2.4 ton so that doesn't make sense either.

Anyone got any insights? Appreciate this may not be the best sub but as it relates to the legal definition of what is/isn't a light commercial maybe someone has some better insight as the advice seems to be "Check the v5" which we can't do as they're lease vehicles.
