BT SurfTime/Surf Together

Well, like the best laid plans of mice and men, it all seemed like a good idea at the time. BT were offering dial up internet connection between 6pm and 8am every week night and all day Saturday and Sunday for only £9.99 a month. And so it was, that a few years ago, we made our enquiries and got our installation disc through the post. We'd never had internet access at home before, so we skipped up to our computer to get it all up and running. It should have been easy. I mean, you'd think a company like BT would spell it all out for you on their disc, but no, not at all. It took us three days to ...  Read the complete review

You have probably seen that BT and other companies that rely on BT lines are heavily pushing broadband at the moment and I feel that this could be a reason why the `dial up` packages may be being neglected at the moment. BT has now reduced the `anytime` hours to 150 a month which I feel is slightly a breech of advertising. since when does having unlimited access have any restrictions. The BT surf package for off-peak that is available is a slight rip-off as unlimited is only a few pounds more and these and the little known pay-as-you-go package only offer 10 meg of web space. Siging up for dial up services is easy enough on-line, if the forms ...  Read the complete review

BT Anytime, what a laugh. They have just decided to terminate my account for over usage (What does 24/7 mean?). With a wife and three children going through college the internet time soon runs out. Living out in the sticks they cannot provide ADSL so what other choice do I have...NONE (unless I want to fork out a fortune for Satalite Broadband). I have decided that enough is enough and I am now seeking to take BT to court for DISCRIMINATION. Why should the not so well off or those who live in Rural areas have to make do with second best, when if they spent half of the payout to the fatcats on improving hardware, we should all be able to use the internet 24 hours 7 ...  Read the complete review

This for once is a serious opinion by Paradox Man, this is about why internet ads should be aboloished. In this I am not talking about ads which are actully part of the page itself but of the ones which pop up so frequently and continue to pop up even if you just use the back button to go back to the last page you looked at. I relise that the web pages concerned get money from letter these "hangers on" put ads on these pages, but what is more important to a business it sponcers or its customers? I think the web pages concerned should put there customers or views first, if web sites take the "non-pop up way" the would be creating a user ...  Read the complete review

I have been on the internet for 5 1/2 years approximately,the first 2 years with virgin.net,then a brief spell on freeserves early attempt at free access.and finally ending up with BT. At first BT were excellent,quick connections,16hrs uninterupted surfing!,quick e-mails.This all changed however when BT really started to catch on,they simply failed to upgrade quick enough to cope with demand. They have had 4 price increases in 3 yrs,having gone from £9.99 to £15.99,while at the same time the service has become a joke.No more than 12 hrs in any one 24hr period,10 minutes to connect,getting dropped after 10 minutes online,a support service that is laughable to say ...  Read the complete review
