Jacalyn,

I thought this posting from the ESI BB in the UK might make you and your fellow investors laugh or at least smile.

As you can see not all free isp s are doing such a good job.

Regards

Jonathan

I finally lost my patience this evening and completely removed my
freeserve settings from my machine. It's been a nightmare connecting
for about a month I connect only around 10% of the time first time and
when I do the servers are painfully slow. All this on top of the
recent email server problems are just too much for me regardless of
the fact it is free. There are much better free service providers out
there.

Had exactly the same problems as you! Check these items

That you are not driving your modem too fast.Example. 28k (say) set
at 56k or more. Check with phone co that you do not have call barring
or call waiting. ( corrupts signal out and in) Make sure your modem
WILL work at the speed it says on the box. Whoever you sign up with,
these problems will still exist. lofty

Why's everyone trying to get everything for free all the time? Surely
you don't expect an A1 service if it's free. Maybe in the future, more
important is much lower tel charges which I'm sure will come soon.

I'm happy paying my £100 a year with globalnet after all what's is the
cost over a year peanuts really. We can all lose this in a second on
the markets anyway!

If tescos are offering "buy one get one free" then it's not OK that
the second free item is sub standard.
Advertisers are paying good money to freeserve on the basis that we
use it.
I got so fed up with it I use another free ISP - callnet - it only
takes a few minutes to load after going to their web site. i think
it's callnetuk.com.
Not evryone wants to pay £100 a year.
Because we are britsh we accept crap, the americans expect quality
service - look at mytrac - they keep asking customers what they want
and their basic service is free.

Has anyone connected up to Tempo??

hswt- Thinking of signing up to Barclays.net. More for bank account
convenience than for the freebee offered. The charges list they show
4p per minute at peak times - is this the going rate or is this
cheaper than normal?. Then they have CLI, which I am a bit wary of,
seems to be like a way of monitoring who you make calls to, is that
correct?.

They say they have teamed up with BT, is that the same as BT ISP or
just BT providing the lines (as they do everyone else?).

Anyone out there have experience of Barclays.net?.

Cheers

Lom
