Premium Review compuserve.com: CompuPants and 8 years of being crap! (1087 words)

CompuServe is one of the original Browsers, I have even been known to have this software on my system, not for very long I grant you, but It has been there. In fact there once was a time when all 3 computers in the house had CompuServe as their browser. BUT THAT WAS 8 YEARS AGO! And the reason all the family got rid of CompuServe ...

Premium Review Excellent support (267 words)

The support you can get from the Compuserve forums is second to none. The users there are very knowledgable and can solve most queries - however basic. If you are a new user it does not matter. You will not be treated like an idiot - just another human being. I had trouble with IRQ steering and rather than waste time searching on the net I asked ...

Many many moons (at least 7 years ago, maybe longer) ago I opened an account with Compuserve. The service was excellent, they had terrific forums where I met lots of like-minded people and made lots of friends. There was also an online community "Worlds Away" where I happily wiled away the hours playing bingo with my virtual buddies. ...

I installed Compuserve on my computer as I had just wiped off a virus that took my dialler with it. I took it on free trial but understood that it would cost me £6.99 a month if I were to continue after 28 days. It took about 2 hours of calls to get through to them when the password that they had given me didn't work. Upon getting ...

I cut my internet teeth with compuserve. It was very handy with its wealth of extra information. Looking back now it is very easy to say it's rubbish, but there are things that have been very useful, as well as things that haven't. I used to be very much into Internet chat. This was back in the dim and distant days when it was ...

When I first got the internet there was so many internet services providers offering special offers such as so many hours free or free access unlimited but I went for compuserve. When I joined compuserve I had to give my credit card/bank account details to allow me to access the internet I paid eight pound per month which I thought ...

I have been with compuserve for about 4 months, although not any more! The internet connection is dreadful, Logging on is always an adventure as it takes at least 5 attempts to get online, and a successful logon takes 3 or 4 minutes through a 56K modem. Then there's the cost. £7.50 a month plus local call rates. This may not sound that ...

Introduction:- CompuServe is a well-known ISP that's been around even longer than AOL in the UK, in fact it's quite literally the oldest ISP in the UK having migrated from the USA in the early 90's. At the time there was no local call access and so you had to pay national rates, on top of that you also had to pay or the hours you used ...

I installed Compuserve and it stopped several other of my programs working and left me with several system registry problems, all of which can be done without when you have better things to do than repair your computer because of poor software. I could not login at all initially with a costly call to technical support being required only ...

I have been using compuserve for a while now and find them very expensive and quite slow therefore I have now changed to another ISP. Compuserve do not always send updates or their magazines out so I was constantly having to request them. Also the application which is provided to connect to compuserve looks outdated and is very slow in ...

Premium Review Good but Expensive (115 words)

This is the best service around in terms of quality. It offers a very fast connection speed and good technical service if anything ever goes wrong. The homepage is also has a good variety of content. The only trouble with it is that you have to pay a membership fee. This is quite expensive especially with some ISP’s, such as ic24 or ...

Compuserve do a reliable 0800 service at 6.99 a month for about 10 hours on line. Thank goodness those days are gon or I would owe millions in extra hours on line. The modern approach of paying local call charges only or a one off monthly subscription to your phone comany and choosing a free ISP is a much better Idea. While ...

by neiliano - written on 17/11/00 (Very useful, 114 readings)
Rating:

Compuserve is a rip off. I have had it for the last couple of years and they have charged me more and more each month. It started off as about £16 but now it is upto £80 or £90, depending how much I use it. They charge you a flat rate, plus they charge you for the bills and you get the phone bills as well. It is a disgrace. I admit they have lots ...

Compuserve was the first ISP I signed up when I started using the internet about four years ago. Then, an hour would cost you around £3.50 because you were charged for every minute by compuserve, then there was the phone call, on top of this was a monthly subscription of £17! I still find that the CDs are mounted on magazines and I have to ask ...

I think the days of paying for an ISP at home are all but over. Nowadays, there are too many alternatives to paying for a provider. When the internet first infected my life 4 years ago, there was not a lot of alternatives around. you either went with AOL and paid a rediculous sum for a one year sign up or Compuserve at 6.99 a month for about ...

Compusere says it is the biggest and the best ISP in the land, nay the World. Well I've tries the three times over the past 5 years and I can say quite honestly they are probably the worst ISP I have tried, and believe me I had a few. They are often very congested and connection rates are pitiful. When i have complained about they just blame ...

As a satisfied (most of the time) AOL, BT Internet and freenetname customer, I once took it upon myself to install compuserve to see what AOL's main rivals at that time were like. I have to admit it was the worst thing i have ever done! Installation was scrappy with the software writing over most things i had preference to, connection speeds ...

Compuserve is bl**dy good! I have to say that because that's where I first chatted to my fiancee! Compuserve is a bit like AOL but British and better - a lot better! It's got great chat rooms and hundreds of interesting forums of files, photos etc. The email is still in the dinosaur era compared to Outlook Express. You don't ...
