callnet0800.comNewest Review: ... answer is I thought if I get connection problems with one then the other will be sitting on my machine. Also I had heard tales of lots of people signing up and as a result it was taking ages for people to get connected. Now as Christmas fast approaches I look back and am glad that I did sign up for NTL as well, I got the NTL disk (got it in May) and have been enjoying the service they provide.

If the spring of 2000 is remembered for anything, it will be the time when the internet revolution took off in the UK.

So CallNet0800 is gone - one warning to change to their new highly popular (their words!) service and there they are gone!

Big deal, that's what you pay with BT! I tried to access the service after the deadline date but no messages just no access! Still getting my E-mails though via them! ...
