>Any comments on the service quality of SwissOnline as an internet provider ?

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.
