Personally, I would, but not just any new independent company.

God help all these new start up businesses across the country.
Well, the ones with pushy, badly informed sales reps and dodgy websites that don't tell you anything anyway.

If they deliver the promise service I cant think of any reason for not trying the service. The only thing you would loss out on is the £30 connection charge. I cant think of any reason why the service would be a scam, if it was a scam what do you think they have to gain?
Several thousand times £30, which is a lot of money. It can and does happen.

Yes there website is sh** however the service is to be launched on the 1st September and it does take a few months for a decent website to be developed.
Rubbish. You can put an informative, colourful, static website up in HTML in a couple of days, and pretty it up later when you have time and resources. That they have not done this - and never mind pretty, just quality information would do - speaks volumes to me about what sort of operation they are.

You also say "can't answer some basic questions", worked in a call centre my self, they will only tell the staff what they need to know with little or no practical training.
Then you have worked in some crap call centres. Internal Communications is my area of business, and I can assure you that 'need to know' is not a good way of doing business. It is not how I operate and it is not how companies I have worked for operate. The only place that gets you is in a big mess and losing money. If that's how Play are treating their staff, then they really are doomed from the start.

You should also remeber iptv services are being launched over the next few months by orange, o2, virgin(adsl), pace, tiscali (expanded service) apple tv and a few others, do you have any information on these services? Why should playtv be any different from other iptv service limited the information before launch?
Credible brands, industry-leading expertise, recognisable customer relations procedures ... will that do for starters?
