- ISP recommendation
- Posted by wh on November 4th, 2003
I've narrowed down the following as potential ISPs for broadband access:
- pipex (xtreme solo 500)
- freedom2surf (512k home)
I'd appreciate any comments from anybody who have used either of these
services.
Thanks,
Wayne.

I am using Pipex - there service was good with fast speeds
until about three weeks ago when it became dire. Prior to
that the only problem had been news servers - which were
often so slow you could wait 8 hours to overnight some times
to download all your groups.
I had gone to Pipex after my previous ISP lost my emails -
and Pipex had told me this was impossible with them as
everything was fully backed up and they were a "professional
business orientated ISP" - however three weeks ago they lost
all of many of their customers emails and it does not look likely
they can get them back - although they say the are still trying.
There have also been frequent service outages recently - so
I know nothing of freedome2surf - but they would appear to
win by default.

The problem when someone finds a good ISP, is that it then gets
recommended to others, and the heavy users pile in, the service then
deteriorates because of being overloaded. The only fair way forward
seems to be to charge for the bandwidth used, as with the Metronet
example, this way, at least those that use the most resources, pay the
highest price.
