having trouble with your isp? constantly getting
disconnected? well, i am, and i'm sick of it

i'm cuurently using the AOL adaptor on a 56k in england, and
although to be honest its almost impossible to figure out
exactly why your computer crashes / disconnects / goes to
'blue death' , i suspect the AOl 'special' software has a
lot to do with it.

currently paying 15 quid a month (which is ok, i don't mind
that), i've heard bad things about freeserve (difficult to
conect, rather slow) and bt-internet (nasty phone calls
demanding you don't stay on line all day every day), and
other things (being cut off every 2 hours).

what i really wanna do is weigh up the pros and cons and
make a decision about whether its really worth staying with
aol or moving to something more stable.

cheers.

dood....i'm not from the UK but i just wanna let you know
what i've heard about the FREE internet service providers.

you think you have problems now with disconnections....be
prepared for that every 1-2 hours. especially if you leave
your computer on to d/l songs etc overnight it clicks off if
you don't hit a button, etc.

i'd invest in cabel if it's in your area.

also i think some of the ISP's out there have an area where
you can set it so it doesn't SHUT off.

good luck dobbin

Yeah, you get what you pay for w/ free services, trust me.

If you want more reliable service, ya gotta pony up some
money.

MSN is relatively decent when it comes to dependiblity, I
dont know if they have it in the UK though.
