- Plusnet or Force9?

What's the difference, apart from a .com vs .co.uk e-mail address?

Hi Tom,
There is very little difference these days between Force9 and PlusNet (and
Free-Online for that matter). The accounts and services are identical and
the only real differences are, as you say the format of the email and web
address, plus the choice of username as different ones will be available
each of them.

I respect you Plus.net guys, you hang about these NG`s, help people out.
Just a shame the activation charge is high for ADSL through Plusnet, would

Hi,
The standard activation is £58.75 for a yearly contract which is exactly
what BT charge us for activation. We also offer EasyStart which includes
free activation and a free modem.
I'm not sure how we could reduce this further unless BT drop the wholesale
activation fee without either increasing the subscription charge or making
a loss.

Ok, but how can Pipex offer a service (1mb) with no Activation fee?
I already have a modem (D-Link) so easystart would of been no good to me..

Pipex will likely be able to offer this because they hold you to 12 month
contract, if you cancel early then you have to pay off the activation fee.
They'll make the activation fee back over the course of the year. This is
similar to EasyStart only we include the modem as well. There's nothing to
stop you signing up for EasyStart and just keeping the modem as a spare in
case your existing modem goes wrong.
