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

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

30 gb aint hard to download, I think I download about 2/3 gig a day, and yeah change providers, I heard tiscali block ports (not sure if they do though) anyway there are better providers =] jump ship bro

When I signed up they said it was unlimited... THEY LIED..
Who should I switch too? BT are pretty expensive.. wanadoo?
11 January 2006, 14:41 UTC#5
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.

get Blyeyonder! I have it... I get unlimted downloads... and loads more. ALso there fast at fixing shit... and also I get MAX speed (Only on usenet but tahts cool)
And if you signup to there 4MB then you get a free upgrade to 10MB in around 2month! (My mate works for them and told me... yey) but I got the 10MB and it rocks! Blus its not DLS its cable so much much better.

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.

Hum. Damn I was told there good

Ive not used them though. Its strange some people say BT is good... never heard anything good from them... But I was with AOL for about a year... only thing I could get back then

And they sucked loads.
11 January 2006, 17:08 UTC#24
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.

My internet takes like a half a second longer to start dowloading webpages, kinda odd
like I click link, it pauses, it then goes to the page
it used to be I could click, and it goes to the page instantly
11 January 2006, 17:10 UTC#27
Mines fast.. but my comp keeps fucking with my connection... It might be FF I think... when I have loads of tabs it messes up.

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

, 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.
