ukonline.co.ukNewest Review: ... http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/arc hive/10134.html I've been using UK Online for a while now as my ISP and they're really good, they've also recently introducted OpenSurf, the long awaited flat rate access plan so I can finally use them as my main (actually, only) ISP. The service has always been fast and reliable and I couldn't be happier with them. I've never had occassion to use the helpline, but the emails I've sent to the support desk have always been answered quickly and efficiently. The webspace is just incredible, nice and fast to use and seems reliable enough. I love the extra services they offer,... more |

The 'Gone to the Dogs' opinion is about ukonline.gov.uk, which is not related in anyway, shape or form to ukonline.net/ukonline.co.uk (who have been going for over 7 years and have nothing to do with the Government) http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/10134.html I've been using UK Online for a while now as my ISP and they're really good, they've also recently introducted OpenSurf, the long awaited flat rate access plan so I can finally use them as my main (actually, only) ISP.

This week saw the reformatting of CitizenSpace (including YourSay) debating forums. Typical of any Government they just can't seem to resist themselves trying to fix something that ain't broke!! Initially the forums had "technical" problems, which meant the service was down more than up. The "new" forums are all subject to pre-moderation, which means you enter a comment, maybe a reply from another poster and...hey presto it doesn't come up for anything up to one hour, on a good day it may be as little as fifteen minutes. Looking at the TV adverts for UKOnline, which states the Government want to get everyone ... Read the complete review

Ive had a UKOnline account for years, and never once had any problems, except when they lost my website once due to a hard drive failure. Very very rare is it that I cant dial in and get connected first time. The home page is simple to use, and the new e-mail system is great. Webspace is free and UNLIMITED, though a 2 megabyte limit is initially imposed, and you need to ask for them to extend that. The only problem I have is that they do not have surftime support, which would be useful, as I have to use freeserve for that. Ah well, nevermind, all in all Id say its one of the best free ISP's out there! Well reccomended! ... Read the complete review

After being realtively late to join the Internet bandwagon, and initially joining the pinoneering Freeserve, UKOnline was by first long term experience of an Internet Service Provider and without the advent of freecall, I'd still be with them now. Offering subscription free 0845 access, UKOnline cater for every type of computer users. Connections upto 128kbs are supported, as well as the usual offers of e-mail and newsgroup access. They even have game servers on offer for the Internet gamer, with good communities of players making it a nice environment. The most startling part of UKonline's offer is the free unlimited webspace unaccessable from any ... Read the complete review

Uk Online have been my favorite ISP for a couple of years now. The conection speed is always good. First time every time & I don't recall ever having got disconnected. The free webspace is hugh, and all the usual mail and news services are provided. What makes this ISP exceptional are things like: - Parental controls to block unwanted websites. - Choice of picking up your mail via the web site. - Full details online of every connection time and duration. Overall this adds up to a great family ISP. ... Read the complete review
