FUCK SHIT TWAT CUNT MOTHERFUCKER ASS BUTTON TIT

now thats all out I can explain

I got a letter from Tiscali my internet provider..
Said I was using to much, downloading to much basically.. which is pretty hard seeing I get 30gb a month to download. Anyway they said they had sent me 2 letters before hand and the hadnt, and the punishment would be to share with other high usage customers during peak hours (5-11pm)
What happend infact was I could connect to the internet but not to any webpage or msn for the past 3 days. My throat hurts from yelling at them so much on the phone, fucking twats. 1 guy said it was a server down in the area (lies my friends were working fine) the other guy said it was because we used to much but they had a problem and cut us ofdf instead of just making us share.

ANYWAY! point is, should I switch internet provider? and have any off you managed to exceed 30gb :D


PS thats why I havent been online for a while, not that anyone noticed :D

I think they both have restrictions, the 2 unlimited I know are AOL and bulldog, and I know everyone slags off AOL but I've used them since 2000 and not had any problems, only thing that I dislike is the customer service they are completely useless. But as a service ive had no problems.

I just read the Fair Usage Policy of Tiscali.. basically I downloaded too much during peak hours and they have the right to slow me down?? they should of made that clear, and cutting me off completly for 3 days really pissed me off.

yeah alot of companys do this. I read this thing ages ago about UNLIMITED companys in USA ending peoples contracts because they downloaded too much.... dont make sence as its unlimited.

I download MAX speed all the time... last month just on usenet I downloaded 300GB of things and nothing from Blueyounder yet.... so they look good.

Is it just me or is most of the net really fucking slow lately? It may be my ISP, as it is at home and work but there seems to be a few problems with ISPs lately.

What problems did you have with AOL? alot of poeple say bad stuff about them but I can truely say ive really never had any problems apart from as I said the customer service is crap but practically all companys customer services are useless.

ugh, im mad at FF now, its annoying when I open up FF and all my old tabs are still there in like two windows, so if I dont want something to appear when I open up it agian I have to close all the tabs and the last one I have to go somewhere, otherwise it will just open up all the tabs I just closed :D , cuz I put a session save plugin on it

and now my bookmark button bar is full

Well at the start I never got my full speed... I had 2MB connection but it always worked out at about 60KBS which is slowww. Then it would never connect to the modem.... and sometimes I would just not be able to connect at all.

When taht all got fixed I had them phone me up and have a go at me because I dont use there software (I hacked it so it only used IE/FF and no AOL software is installed) and they said I had to have it installed for it too work... which is crap. Also once I phoned up asking not to use a static IP and if I could have the same one and a guy said I could... which is wrong and could have cost me alot of time.
