4U.net Reviews

There was a cloud of publicity when 4uNet came out offering you free internet access for just £19-99 which included the price of the dialer as signing for 4u meant that you had to go through their telephone system. I signed up during March and paid my 20-00 and was chuffed with my buy. Until I tried to use it that was!! Initially ...  Read the complete review

I have been with 4unet for a few months and what can I say, an absolute pile of rubbish! To be fair I received the box quite quickly but that is the only good thing I can say about them. When trying to connect to the internet with them I saw a different side to my personality - I became a monster!!!!!! I was lucky to be ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago 4unet were advertising extensively on TV and they sounded good, perhaps too good to be true. 30% off calls? great! 0800 access all the time? wicked! free sevice? go for it! So we went for it. First there was the wait until the little connection box arrived. Then there were the problems activating the account, with the ...  Read the complete review

I subscribed to 4unet in May, lured by the totally free internet access. The deal was that you bought a box for £20 to divert your calls through them and all your internet calls were free, plus you got your £20 back in vouchers against your phone bill. I've had a few problems with connection and downloads but thought it was a small ...  Read the complete review

I signed up to 4unet months and months ago and, if you enjoy sitting at your computer for hours trying to connect then this is the service for you. I signed up to have a monthly phone bill but, as yet have never had one, how I will be expected to pay for it now I really don't know. I am waiting to hear from NTL as I have ...  Read the complete review

I suppose 4unet could have been described as "you get what you pay for". ie. nothing is what you'll receive for the service. I went on line with them during April, free internet dial ups on the provision I use their telephone service, which was cheaper than BT (who isn't), so it was an extremely attractive package. To ...  Read the complete review

I have never ever written a review of anything so bear with me. This so called company have been very poor in the way they manage this service. I have been with 4unet for about three months. I had in my infinate wisdom used my birthday funds to pay for the switch over from B.T to 4unet hopeing to have free Internet for ever! I have just ...  Read the complete review

overall a Good service. It is hard to get connected though. It takes around 15 tries on some occassions. You also get 20% off you phone calls. They are planning on charging soon though. If you sign up now though you will miss the 9.95 for connection. The on line and off line help is non exsistant. It also dis-connects every hour on the hour which ...  Read the complete review

Starting on September 5th,4unet is going to start charging for the phone calls to its internet service.Although they have already taken my creditcard details once,they now want them again.Why??? In the past few weeks the service has become worse then ever before,which begs the question,is it worth paying for 4unet? In my opinion NO.Lots of ...  Read the complete review

I have been with this shower for about 12 weeks and can honestly say they are crap. It takes any thing from 10 minutes to 1 and a 1/2 hours, mind you i have become a master of solitaire while waiting for connection. Saying that when you do get connected it`s nice knowing the call is free even though the phones been tied up half the night, but ...  Read the complete review

I thimk the arrival of 4Unet back in November 99 has had its ups and downs. Basically the main up is that after a flat fee of 20 quid you can surf for free for as long as you want. But when the internet is busy at around 6-10 o'clock i suggest you dont bother trying to dial up. Sometimes it takes up to thirty times to connect, and sometimes ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people here seem to be down on this ISP. I have to admit that after registering it took ages before I recieved anything through the post so that I could activate my account and also I had some problems with them taking the one off £20 connection fee a couple of times. However when I contacted them this was sorted out very quickly. ...  Read the complete review

4unet has fast download speeds if you use it at the right times between seven in the morning until around three at night. Even though i have been signedup to this servieor over seven weeks i haven`t recieved a monthly bill yet whih is quite worrying though. For recieving this service you also have to use a box which lowers your phonebill ...  Read the complete review

I joined 4UNet on the launch day - 1st November 1999, when it was completely free to join (No £19.99 charge - they are currently charging). Up until about March the service was excellent, but since then it has taken approximately 10-20 redials to become connected. Once connected you are restricted on what you can access. They have blocked access ...  Read the complete review

I Think 4unet Are a complete waste of time and money. I entered in my details they took the money but after 5 weeks I have not received the box. I went to a friends has to use it , it took 30 mins to connect which is wrong. The downloads speeds were appalling. The is virtually no support. Newsgroups don’t work. You would expect something ...  Read the complete review

4unet just weren't geared up for the (theoretically) fantastic offer that they were making. I registered, and then waited and had no contact at all. I then found out about 2 months later that they had taken the 19.99 from my bank account. I finally managed to get an email back saying that they would credit this because they couldn't ...  Read the complete review

I applied to be connected. Was told would have to wait 2 weeks. After 4 weeks I had to find a telephone no to talk to someone about what was happening as £20 had been taken from my credit card a month before. After many attempts I have finally got onto someone on the phone and was told I should have my money back. I have to wait and see. Their ...  Read the complete review

Time for a re-think! Like most 4unet customers I am sure, as well as, no doubt, subscribers to CallNet0800, I have today received an e-mail from them informing me that the 0800 service is to be terminated on 5th September. They say that they have 'endeavoured to provide the most innovative Internet access services' ...  Read the complete review

Trying to connect to this service was a complete disaster. From my application to receiving the telephone converter took 4 weeks, then another 3 weeks before the system recognised that I was there. The fun then began. It was impossible to access the free internet access despite calls to their advice centre (when they were not engaged) The ...  Read the complete review

Hmmm...where to start? Perhaps with the 0.2 lb/sec download speed, the 20 minutes to get a connection, or the seven-week wait (still ongoing) for them to fix a simple ten-second-repair error on their accompanying telephone service that prevents me from using it? The only good thing I can say is that they really are free, and this makes the ...  Read the complete review
