Ezesurf/SurfsaverNewest Review: ... it had to happen, one day the number was permanently engaged amid rumours that Ezesurf/Surfsaver was no more on the ISP review sites. I kept trying (and hoping) for a couple of days until the news was confirmed and then set about finding a new provider, which eventually I did - but that's in another opinion. Overall I can have no complaints with Surfsaver because over the four months it saved me a hell of a lot of money, far more than the £39 I spent. I'm only sorry for the people who joined just before it went down and still paid the same as me or more with no chance to use this ISP. ... more |

Back in March I stumbled across Ezesurf/Surfsaver on an ISP review site. They said you could either sign up for full access for just over £200 a year for Ezesurf or you could buy shares in the company through Surfsaver which would give you completely free internet access at any time during the day at no extra cost for phone calls for a one of fee of about £39. Obviously this sounded too good to be true but after checking out a few reviews from people already using it I signed up to Surfsaver and paid for my shares. I was then amazed to find that within around 24 hours I was e-mailed with details of how to connect for free and even more amazed to find it not only ... Read the complete review

In my experience ezesurf/surfaver has been the best unmetered isp so far. Not only was it cheap and fast AND first time connections, oh and have i mentioned CHEAP. Ezesurf's support line was crap but this was greatly shadowed by the vast number of features it offered, FREE webspace, FREE e-mail address and optional ISDN access and all you had to do to get all this was to buy 60 shares in the company. Despite ezesurf overweamly popularity ezesurf were desitined to go under. Many thought it was too good to be too... and it was, now Ezesurf are gone. ... Read the complete review

Much as it pains me to say it, Ezesurf/Surfsaver is no longer with us. It went into liquidation a few weeks back. Although this is meant to be an opinion rating the ISP, I felt it necessary to inform people that this ISP is no longer valid. It was very good whilst it lasted, and many people saved hundreds of pounds of telephone bill by signing up. It only cost most people £39 to sign up for unlimited access, 24/7. Also, the connections were extremely fast. Then they increased the price, and went belly up a month or so later. Unfortunately, due to bad management, the company had to fold after being unable to pay an Energis Squared phone bill of over ... Read the complete review

Ezesurf was an excellent ISP, but it's now gone. £39 for free 0800 access 24/7, and the speed was superb. RIP Ezesurf, but if you're interested, take a look at http://www.eezypeezy.net/ I can't vouch for the accuracy of what's on there, but it sure makes interesting reading! Will it surface again with a new name? Who knows, but it wouldn't be altogether surprising. If it does, it might be worth a punt, but if it goes the way of Ezesurf there'll be some pretty disappointed customers at some stage. ... Read the complete review

This was by far the best 0800 call providor, with the high pings (or speeds), and even the 199 +vat price was good for the service, but alas, all good things must come to an end. I used eze, and am now appaled by the other freecall isps which now face me..... I would reccomend that people take a look at http://www.ezesurf.org for the staff, and possibly another eze..... woohoo! come back eze! please! Ok, so support went through some bad times, (it also went through some very good) and some options were irritating that they could not be added, but on the whole, it was a very good isp! ...
