Anyone any stories to tell? Are they any good?
I'm currently with plusnet and download more than 20Gig P2P in a month.

Luckily, I'm Zen's old unlimited accounts. I've just been over to the
Evolution site. IMHO, they are **way** to cheap for unlimited use and
it won't last.

We can do 2Mb unlimited use ADSL for £35 inc VAT per month.
This includes a static IP, 24/7 UK technical support, no restrictions on
use or "fair use policies" or other nonsense.
Migration is free.
If you want to come over to us email me as I'll need to process the order
manually - normally the service costs 24p more

There are quite a few caps in place on your system so the service being
offered isn't unlimited! Extra data above the caps is charged at a rate
PLUS £5.70 each time a user goes over the cap, so that could apply twice in
24hours. If you break the cap level during off-peak and are still
downloading during peak hours, you have exceeded it again! Clever way to
add extra charges each time a person uses the service. Migration might be
free but there is a charge of £52.88 for what is called "activation", so
it's a connection fee whichever way you look at it.
The only package starting to look reasonable is Home Max 30, but the
connection fee (called activation) of £52.88 is not acceptable. There is no
mention of the charges for cancellation either. Anyone sending SPAM has to
pay £150 compensation plus 8% interest.
A webcam connected must not upload an image more than once every 15minutes!
You're also not allowed to mention your own or anyone elses site hosted by
the company in any NNTP group. You're not allowed to use the account for
any illegal purpose, so no point signing up if you want to use peer2peer or
download software, or some of the binary newsgroups that might have illegal
(in UK) content. You also have to continue paying if a service can't be
used or is withdrawn!
Proof of posting doesn't mean anything, so it seems you need to go to the
ISP and log on to their PCs to check they have your message and have
responded to it.
Terms and conditions might be changed at any time without notice, although
this goes against The Unfair Contract Terms Act !
I would definitely avoid the ISP and pick another. It did sound promising
when I saw the message, but after a closer look I am still looking about.

You have made a mistake.
While we certainly to offer services which are based upon a bandwidth
allowance as you describe we also offer a range of flat rate unlimited
usage services as I stated.
Wrong. The excess charge is £5+VAT which is charged ONCE. The customer is
also required to pay for the level of usage they have used but this is
only applicable on the Allowance service. It's not applicable to the flat
rate unlimited usage service.
That's for a new activation. There is no activation charge for a migration
as there is no activation - the line is already active.
There is no mention of a cancellation charge becuase there isn't any such
charge on any of our services that carry a 1 month minimum term contract.
We do offer a "no activation charge" option for our unlimited usage
services and this carries a 12 month minimum term. Oddly enough nobody has
ever taken it up and I would never recommend it to anyone.
Are you intending to send SPAM? If so you are really not welcome as a
customer. I think you'll find that spammers are not welcome at any
reputable ISP.
Wrong - and you know it doesn't say that anywhere in our terms.
Can you show a single ISP anywhere that doesn't forbid using the service
for illegal purposes? If you are stupid enough to go with one I'm happy
for you not to use our services.

meat product, spam is UBE/UCE.

Everyone knows that in an internet context SPAM/spam means unsolicited
messages which are a nuisance and in a food(?) context it is the trademark
of a company producing processed meat products.

Rubbish. SPAM is to be associated with a meat product, irrespective of
context, that's what Trademark is all about.
Hormel Foods are very protective of their Trademark, which you know,
so you should change your site.

" We do not object to use of this slang term to describe UCE, although
we do object to the use of the word "spam" as a trademark and to the use
of our product image in association with that term. Also, if the term is
to be used, it should be used in all lower-case letters to distinguish
it from our trademark SPAM, which should be used with all uppercase
letters."

Without being rude Mr Eager, it's a rather lame post for even you.
