Redhotant.co.uk Reviews

I joined RedHotAnt back in May 2000. After having to wait 2 months for the service to come live, on the day it was launched they were still installing phone lines which should have been put in weeks ago. So I waited until the service was active which was a day or two. After waiting all that time, I was able to get online with RedHotAnt ...  Read the complete review

I was deeply saddened by the suspension of Red Hot Ants services. I had been a user since its inception and had experienced very few problems. The cost was acceptable and the support was first class. They were constantly trying to increase their capacity and I was surprised when they went down. I hope we see them make a comeback and if ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~ ## UPDATE 24 Jan 01 ## This is hot off the press and might get you some cash back !!! On ZD net appears the following and I quote : Failed Internet service provider RedHotAnt has said it will provide refunds to as many of its subscribers as possible, many of whom paid £120 only days before the company shut down its ...  Read the complete review

Redhotant are offering a brilliant free ISP. I signed up about a year ago for £50. I have probably had about £1000 worth of calls out of it. At first the service was a bit slow and dialup took a while as it was often engaged. Late last year they installed another line and changed the dial up numbers and now the service is a lot faster. ...  Read the complete review

I heard of RedHotAnt on the local radio station and checked out their website. What I saw there was very impressive. An annual flat fee for unmetered internet access. Excellent! I paid £60 and off I went. At least I would have liked to have used it. The chances of connection are around 75% before 6pm in the week and 10% in the evenings and at ...  Read the complete review

Having had a few connection problems recently, I decided to look at the Redhotant website. Very bad news. Redhotant is not going to accept any renewals for subscribtions. Being completely mistified by this, I gave them a ring, and they confirmed my suspicions. This leaves me wihtout an ISP later this year and I don't ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw Redhotant I wasn't sure if they were a genuine company. Their website seemed amateurish but when I e-mailed them and asked them for details they soon reassured me. Without hesitating I joined. £30 set-up fee and £20 for the whole year. Not bad at all :) ok ok BRILLIANT. The service was awful for times, couldn't connect for 2 ...  Read the complete review

This internet service provider should really get its act together. Admittedly, the service is excellent value for money... if it worked more frequently What I get from this ISP are engaged dial tones, busy tones, and they said that my username and password were invalid. This service is an "on and off" type one, and is really ...  Read the complete review

Having endured the horrendous early days of redhotant when logging on was a long and arduous process, if not impossible, I have been very impressed recently with the level of service. Gone are the days where at least thirty minutes had to be set aside to have any chance of being connected, and in its place an efficient, fast service. At last the ...  Read the complete review

freeserve unlimited? more like unlimited trying to get connected. This has to be the worst isp in the country i have not had one day since receiving their service that i have been able to connect within the first 30 minutes and have had three days earlier in november when the service would not connect at all. On the good days when it would finally ...  Read the complete review

I used to be of the opinion that the Red Hot Ant service was awful would have advised all readers not to touch their service. Well in fairness they have now sorted out my problem, it did take 18 weeks to give me a valid password, and I have been very impressed with the service ever since I got my valid password. While 18 weeks is ...  Read the complete review

I have been with RedHotAnt since May and though there were problems logging on in the first few month things are now brilliant. Even if it did take me ten minutes or so to log on then it was worth it when I considered the cost was zero. Now I connect first or second attempt-no fuss. The home page has some useful links catering for business ...  Read the complete review

I have been a user of redhotant.co.uk for quite a long time now, and I have to say that I have a very mixed reaction to it. I was referred to the site by a teacher of mine at school, he told me that he was using the service and that he had found it much better than the BT Free option, and that he had 24/7 Internet Access, which I think we ...  Read the complete review

Words can't describe just how appaling Red Hot Ant is, I can't belive this company has the cheek to call themselves an ISP! How do they provide the interent when I have to wait almost an hour to get connected. They have three dial up numbers and here are the problems with each of them: 1 - I can get logged on but not actually gain web ...  Read the complete review

After hearing about this from one of my mates, I decided to give this ISP a go. At first it sounded like a con, but now I KNOW it's worth it. Free internet, it is not, as you do pay an annual subscription fee, but for FREE phone calls, you can't really complain! With a limit to a 3hr continuous connection before ...  Read the complete review

I signed up for RedHotAnt about 5 months ago, I use the internet most days so when I saw the oportunity to pay a yearly fee (with no phone call charges) I couldn't believe it. Since joining the company the service has not been very good, they say you can surf all day and night for free, but you can only do this if you can connect. This is ...  Read the complete review

######### UPDATE ########### The RedHotAnt free internet service is 'suspended' at the present time as "The recent fall out within the technology sector has meant that it has been impossible to secure the necessary funding to continue operating the RedHotAnt un-metered service". The upshot is that RedHotAnt are basically ...  Read the complete review

I have been with Red Hot Ant (red hot pants???) for a month and I have had my share of problems. The biggest it seems is in dialing up - it can be very frustrating constantly redialling because you continually get an engaged tone. And then, finally, you connect, and your password is rejected! But not to fear, when you do finally get online, the ...  Read the complete review

Red Hot? No chance. After having trouble with my ISP, I logged on using my boyfriend's Red Hot Ant account ....... Or should I say tried to log in on the account. IF you can get on to this connection, it is great for surfing, but don't try to use it for reading newsgroups on the news server, because by the time your post has arrived on the ...  Read the complete review

Introduction:- As unmetered (freecall) ISPs become ever more prominent and in so doing grow in popularity, then competition suddenly becomes war with every ISP trying to out strip the other in some way or another. A new range of unmetered ISPs has now suddenly sprung up, ones, which could quite easily change the fragile balance the UK is current ...  Read the complete review
