New ISP? - Page 4

killerkebab · 23-01-2007, 15:43

I'll be moving house soon so I'm looking for something new myself... what does everyone think of "Be unlimited"? £25/month for 24/1 Mb internet does sound a little too good to be true...

LLU, that's how they can offer the service at that price.

I'm not sure how quick they are provisioning services these days, but if you can, then do.

Desmo, my problem is that I rely on the line for work. While it'd be an annoyance for you, it'd be a right pain for me.

Having said that, being without broadband for a day or two would convince me to get off my butt more, so maybe I should try it. Not until spring though, please.

I understand Mark. Different needs for different people

Well, I've raised my ticket with PN to get my MAC and looking to move on the 12th Feb.

Ah i wasnt aware of that, it certainly wasn't in place when i joined them. Must admit that i hadnt even noticed though so it can't be that bad

Well I've already got my MAC code

That was quick, their system must be pretty slick for this

Just need to do some more searching but I'm pretty happy I'll go with UKFSN.

Bloody hell

I had to really fight them for mine, ****ers.

Mark · 23-01-2007, 18:28

I got mine pretty damn quick as well. They queried was I aware of them expiring in 30 days, and I simply said yes.

Let me know how it goes - nothing like a personal experience. If PN **** me about again I'll be out of there.

Desmo · 24-01-2007, 12:45

Well it's done. Signed up with UKFSN on the 30/300 for £19.99 a month.
Should be migrating on 6th Feb which gives us time to sort our plus net email change over

PN have obviously been taken over by BT managers, whose philosophy was that if enough customers left then the problem would go away.

Mark · 24-01-2007, 13:16

Oh, they were like that before the planned BT byout.

Haven't heard much about the BT stuff recently so I wonder if that's still happening. If it is, then it's a case of do I jump ship before the buyout or after.
