BT Connect Anytime hits the user again!

For those unfortunate enough to have no choice but to use BT Connect Anytime for Internet Access, it might be a good idea to check your mailbox - the following just dropped into mine from them... "Your business needs the highest quality Internet service at the best value, which is why we've decided to change the amount of 'unmetered' access available to our customers. From 5th July 2002, Connect Anytime and Connect Lite Anytime customers will have their daily 'unmetered' Internet access limit reduced from 16 to 12 hours within any 24-hour period. This will help restrict instances of high individual daily use that affect our network quality and provide a greater level of service for all. This change won't affect many of you as only a few of our customers stay online for this amount of time!" :mad: :mad: :mad: Oh fantastic:(( Not only do I have to make do with a pokey dialup connection (No ADSL here & no alternative) but now I have to be even more careful that I don't go over the limit:mad: Time I think to invest in carrier pigeons instead!

BT did this to their reseidential BT Anytime 'service' customers at the beginning of the month. Like you, I only use them because I have no other choice. :mad: It seems a little odd to me, what with the new wave of BT Anytime advertising in the media, why BT believe the way forward is to keep restricting their current services while forcing in more and more customers. Surely the way to go if they are planning on reataining any customers in the future is to invest in catering for a larger user base? Adding customers without improving the service to take all of them is what killed the Freenetname era of ISP's off. ____________________ David Wulff "You don't go to the kitchen to take a piss - if you do, don't expect to be served." - peterchen on Bill SerGio.

I don't think their left hand knows what the right hand is doing some times. Apparently an announcement about a "second wave" of 500 exchanges to be converted to ADSL is due at the end of June (which June though:confused: )So maybe we will both be lucky then, or maybe I will just have to check the price of carrier pigeons:-D JohnJ http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk

Cable in Gwernymynydd :omg: Don't make me laugh - all we have here is a BT special consisting of 2 tin cans and a long piece of string:-D Although we are only just over 1 mile from the nearest town I think the chances of anyone running cable here is nil:(( JohnJ http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk

Its a village with nice Welsh name in North Wales, just outside the town of Mold.:cool: Just don't ask me how to say "Gwernymynydd" - I'm told I always get it wrong, but apparently the translation is something like "Swamp between the Mountains" ;P JohnJ http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk

All you people living in the old world with your crappy ISP's just need to move over here to the states. Broadband for all, streets paved with gold, and good teeth to boot.:-D Jason Gerard

Why don't you solve this the capitalistic way? Start competing! Do some research and think big. Find out where the nearest POP on the backbone is, maybe it's at a university nearby, or some large (not BT) company. Look into leasing a T1/3 (I think you call it E1/3) line. Then do a little math, see how many members you need to spread the cost. If the numbers look reasonable, start looking for investors to back your initial investment. With the right combination, you could set up your own ISP business and bypass BT completely. Even if you have to go through BT, leasing a big pipe from them would make you a business customer, and I've found that makes a huge difference in the way telco companies treat you. Do give it some thought. I came up with this idea years ago when we couldn't get Internet service here at all, but I chickened out and didn't pursue it. Luckily my current ISP thought of the same thing, went for it, and ended up with the best service anywhere within 100 miles! Not to mention a gross income of around $30,000/month...

Cat walked over the keyboard .. normal service will be resumed shortly. Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".

I wouldn't have said that about AOL. Alice thought that running very fast for a long time would get you to somewhere else. " A very slow kind of country!" said the queen. "Now, here , you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place".
