Swissonline is an Internet and Videotext provider. - As an Internet provider, Swissonline is NOT very good (very slow). Actually, I see it as the worst provider in Switzerland. - As an Videotext provider, it is very good. But the Videotext is condemned to disappear (very costly and useless). Today, most people use the Videotext for telebanking, and this works very well. However, Swissonline has announced a sharp rise in pricing for accessing the Videotext, and the use of 0848 call numbers (much more expensive than a local calls), plus a special fee for the billing. On their last glossy advertising, Swissonline say that they have 26 local entry point for the Videotext. This a big lie, as 0848 numbers are *not* local call. I have calculated that my monthly telebanking session will cost me now SFr 12.50 !!!! So you help the banks to do the job, and you pay for it! Swissonline is dead for me. -- Georges Rosset - Gen�ve ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GeorgesRosset@iprolink.ch
