This op has had so many non-rates I've decided to drasticalloy prune it. Bigbluesky offered its customers unmetered 24/7 access for one year for £35. Eventually there were too many customers and BBS pulled the plug on its 0800 dial-up service in June and customers were forced to look eleswhere for an ISP. Amazingly BBS is back after reinventing itself as a subscription .com ISP - £12.75 per month. BBS boss David Singleton says he will personally answer emails about refunds: directors@bigbluesky.uk.com ...  Read the complete review

After many months of happy surfing with Freeserve Off-peak I felt like a change. Freeserve was ok but due to a slowly decaying service I thought I would look around. Numerous one-off payment internet service providers started up in 1999 and 2000 and promptly folded due to "oversubscription".

The initial fee was to increase rapidly over a 1 month period ...  Read the complete review

Today I contacted trading standards as advised in a previous quote, the response I had from them was good for some but not for all.

This criteria was not released to me but TS indicated that those people that have received very little or no service at all may qualify for a refund. TS have been taking names, ...  Read the complete review

I haven’t read any of the other reviews for this company, I don’t need to. Most of the positive reviews will be out of date anyhow. My experience alone should be enough to put anyone off, even if one or two people have been lucky enough to get some sort of service from them. When Telnet pulled out of the UK market in June I was left without an ISP. I fancied a 24/7 service for a fixed monthly rate and considered the BT Anytime package. I then heard of the amazing BigBlueSky offer; for a one off fee of £25 they would give me a 24/7 free ‘0800’ Internet connection for life. Yeah right, and pigs would no doubt fly. However, I considered that ...  Read the complete review
