Just before they go under... (I have read the court transcripts...) They are
attempting to screw there customers for the last time... Just like when they
were livewire INC. PISNET (formally iSTAR) recieved so many complaints that
they shut down their website.

  Yes Newforce may be financialy insolvent at this time. I would recommend
that you continue business with them at this time because of risks involved
with this possible insolvency.


There has been many complaints that I have heard of poor service and slower
than freenet. At least freenet is a bit more reliable.
