Advantages: Great until they suspend you

Disadvantages: Will sue you for all call charges incurred

Having won a lifetimes access with TFI, I was suspended, after a few months for breaching terms and conditions. This ISP suggests that I am a buisiness user and that they have placed my details in the hands of their Lawyers for compensation !! I have no business but as a housewife use their access for many hours a day (could be mis-read as a business use, I suppose).

I have been in contact with Lister Park, the Director of TFI ansd Christopher Clarke, the Director of Business Online (who own TFI) and have got no-where.

I am firing up reports to Watchdog, Oftel and Trading Standards and hope these people will be put out of business.

Their operation is a sham/scam and they are suspending accounts whenever they need to free up some further space for new £89 per year users.

Please DO NOT subscribe to TFI. My own experience has been dreadful and newsgroups such as alt.internet.providers.uk.0800 or alt.internet.providers.uk.free plus www.net4nowt.co.uk will support this view.

Note that they change their Terms and Conditions almost daily and some days you only need to sneeze twice before they "have something on you" :o)
