Re: Re: RE: Alternate ISP - 24hr access...



It's actually prob better for you if they go out of biz as you'd prob get your money back.  What normally happens though is they start to change their T&C and their service goes to the dogs.

Yeah - I got hit with that on RHA a year ago ;-(
 
At least, if you pay by CC, then you can challenge and the CC company will take this up on your behalf - no help if they've genuinely run out of money, but increasingly these days, titsup.coms are going under cleanly before they run out of money, because they want the VCs to talk to them on the next one!

Hmmmmmmmmm....
 
Sounds great at the moment....but once the word gets out things will go titsup.com and then you're stuck in a year pre-paid deal.
 
I'm not bitter and twisted against ISPs - honest! :-(

They dont seem to se FRIACO - someone on the ispreview message boards reckon they've been online now over ISDN for 9 days. see http://www.ispreview.co.uk/cgi-bin/ubb2/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=122

And also you can do multilink (not bonded) - so 14k/sec anyone ?

Signup takes 3days - and i'm now waiting :-) Time to buy HomeSeer, and enable the webserver...shame I can get Smoothwall working with my SCSI COmpaq Server...bloody thing...

Would i be right in thinking - demon 19.99 down to fast24 13.99
 
And dump BT surftime charges ? Todays bill 13 pound of calls 200 pounds service charges. BTW still cant understand the new improved bill.
 
They also advertise surftime as UNLIMITED ha if there are any ISP left to support it.

ISTR a site called http://www.ispreview.co.uk/ that may be of some
interest.

Haven't read it in a while. BTInternet haven't moaned at my service
usage yet, so I haven't had the need to change. Surprising this in
some ways, since I am now DACS-ed at my new place and have
thus gone from solid 48k connections to lovely 26.4k connections -
thus my online time has increased.
