If the spring of 2000 is remembered for anything, it will be the time when the internet revolution took off in the UK. Along with thousands of others I listened with growing excitement of all the promises of free internet access. I read up as much as I could on all of those that were offering unmetered free isp services. I could not choose between callnet0800 and NTL. So in my wisdom I decided to sign up to both. Do not ask me why I signed up for two at the same time, well the 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 ...  Read the complete review

I signed up for Callnet in October 1999 and at first the unmetered access was great. Good download speeds and few connection attempts made it the best free service available. The only problem was that the cut-off time was every hour, causing problems with large downloads which are unresumable. Then they started accepting users again, making it harder and harder to connect each time, and they also began charging £20 per customer to buy a "box" to plug into your phone socket when using their service. This is where I stopped using the service and after that it seems as though it went downhill even more with the termination of the unmetered service. What a waste of ...  Read the complete review

So CallNet0800 is gone - one warning to change to their new highly popular (their words!) service and there they are gone! Nice of them just to check that you had recieved the E-mail informing you that the service was no more and it would be changing to a charged service at a penny a minute. 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! ...  Read the complete review

Call net 0800 has closed its doors on free unmetered access. Another unmetered service has bitten the dust after financial strain. The service has lasted 9 months but now can no longer afford to provide the 0800 free call number. The plug will be pulled on the service sometime in september. The new service is called callnet1p which offers 1p per minute access at off peak times and 2p per minute at peak times. The joining fee of £9.99 is waivered for existing customers and is exclusivly held for the existing customers for a limited time before it is offered to the rest of the country. The service is likely to improve and the busy signals should die down ...  Read the complete review

I signed up to Cellnet0800 in Febuary, and the money for the dialer was taken from my account in May, but behold I have not heard anything since.. no dialer, no letter nothing. I`ve written 5-6 letters and emails to the company, but no one can be bothered to reply to them. Also sadly I paid for this transaction by Switch, so I`ve lost the money. This is a perfect example of a company who is set up to rip of the consumer, plain and simple. Do not what ever you do trust this company, do not sign up, do not even go to there web page. They are a bunch of cowboys. My advice also, if you payed for the box via credit card, and havn`t ...  Read the complete review
