You know this whole internet thing is really starting to disappoint me. Most of the websites out there are full of more trash than the local rubbish tip, downloading MP3s has become a drag. (How many times have I found a supposed rarity and found it’s either not the artist in question or of such poor quality it might as well been recorded underwater by a tone deaf man wearing ear plugs). However it is not the content that has disappointed me the most but the way that I have to connect to the web. Yes were back to everyone’s favourite topic Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Like bog paper they’re something that most people don’t want to talk ...  Read the complete review

Im currently going through a stage in my life that all internet users seem to go through sooner or later. I'm sure a large number of you are familiar with this phase, it's quite simple. You splash out on an internet provider only for them to let you down completely. So you try another one. This is good until this one lets you down. I'm afraid to report that Net in a Nutshell has become the 3rd in a current row of 4 to let me down. I signed up to Net in a Nutshell after being let down by the collapse of BigBlueSky and then by 08002go. The offer looked reasonably tempting. £9-99 a month for free phone internet access whenever you wanted it, 24 hours a ...  Read the complete review

Well hear I am again, a few months older and yet another ISP!! Just when everything was going fine with my last Internet service provider along came all these problems, which began to get worse and worse with no sign of improvement. So the inevitable happened and the hunt began for something that sounded a little more reliable then the service I had. It is hard work looking for a 24/7 0800 Internet connection when you don’t have a BT line but it has been something that I have become accustomed to for over a year, way back in the days of X-stream (Anyone remember them? Surfing past mid-night till the early hours of the morning just so you could have your ...  Read the complete review

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
