But with the ill health of one of the founders, things went downhill. They got their dialup business plan wrong big time, then accused anyone they considered might have cost them money as an 'abuser'...I was trying to be a responsible user, too. They then raised charges with an expensive pre-pay plan, which meant you had to forecast how many dialup minutes you woiuld use in a month, and buy it in large blocks. I asked about ADSL, and they really hadn't thought through a proper policy and were changing the rules as they went along. The final straw was that I transferred a domain from elsewhere, since they offered a 'free' domain with the account. When I wanted to move it, when I left, they charged me 75 pounds (they had held the tag for just three months or so and not had to pay any Nominet charges). I'm glad I gave up with them. -- Bob Eager begin a new life...dump Windows!
