nutshell.net Telecommunications Service

Newest Review: ... hay with customers' money. Bigbluesky is the most notorious example of a fly-by-night ISP which took its customers for a major ride - it was still accepting annual subscriptions as it went in to financial meltdown. But even respectable ISPs are seemingly not above the smash-and-grab attitudes of the fledgling industry. Take Net in a Nutshell, once a decent ISP offering reliable if unexciting 24/7 service for a competitive £12.99 a month (£9.99 for the first three months). Run by Ananova, an outfit set up by the well respected PA news agency and now owned by mobile phone giant Orange, nutshell offers: Three hour cut-off Five email... more

UPDATE 22/10/01 Due to cirumstances beyond Nutshell's control, the Internet service is currently suspended. All enquiries should be directed by e-mail to cancel@nutshell.net The above is an email from nutshell. Ps: If you're reading this and you're a dooyou member who can't be bothered to log on and rate, I hope your ISP goes pop. ********************************************* Second-hand car dealers and double glazing salesmen hold the top two spots in the UK's league of shame for complaints to consumer champion the Office of Fair Trading.

Has Nutshell bitten off more than they could chew? After searching for a reasonably inexpensive unmetered i.s.p. that I could use without having a B.T. line, I decided to plump for Nutshell. After all, some friends were using this i.s.p. with no probs, and recommended it to me as a good service. I signed up for 3 months, but almost immediatley had regrets. Connection some times takes 30 attempts, and never am I connected on the first 5 attempts. When I do connect I am occasionally disconected abruptly for no apparent reason. My friends now have the same probs. Is this the result of Nutshell allowing too many users to join, with insufficient capacity? ...  Read the complete review

Well, I'v been a members of nutshell.net for a few days now and I ahve truly inpressed. Normally free dial-up ISP's can be slow, have bad connections, high modem ratio and premium technical support charges. Nutshells is not an ISP as such, Its a VIRTUAL ISP that is powered by VISP.com. There are a few local rate isp in the UK that are powered by VISP, SO I tried nutshell to see if it was the same quality. The VISP server are located in the United States Of America, Which I thought was a bit strange for UK internet access. At first the service was very very slow, E.G Google was taking 7 minutes to load up EH !!!! After phoning the support desk, they ...  Read the complete review

For the past year I'd been happily paying nothing for off-peak surfing thanks to Libertysurf who charged only £20 for the years service. Of course it wouldn't last and now I was faced with paying £14.99 a month, a big step up when you consider the line rental as well. I was then one of the people who signed up for the amazing Bigbluesky offer of £25 for 24/7 free access. I'm sure if you read a lot of opinions on that company then you'll realize that it's a complete fiasco. Net in a Nutshell however saw an opportunity and offered the conned individuals like myself a way out of our internet connection rut. I was offered 24/7 free access for ...  Read the complete review

Nutshell.net is the new hot hatch back Internet Service Provider (ISP) on the block, that has had many users in a spin. To start with An ISP is a company that gets on you onto the Internet. If you phone someone up to talk to, then it is probably BT that connects you to that other person. With the Internet it’s an ISP that connects your computer up the all the other computers on the Internet. I recently changed from freeserve anytime to nutshell as it had received some rave reviews on the message boards, so I thought I would join. Nutshell charge £12.99 per month for unlimited Internet use or if you pay 3 months in advance you can get ...  Read the complete review
