Page 1 of Anyone noticed that Freeserve can`t spell?

The Freeserve purple banner ad on this site has Freeserve spelt "Freserve" - I think the fact that that ad`s been running for a while and I`ve only just noticed it shows how effective (!) banner ads are nowadays....

he he he i just seen it... its funny!

Nevermind their spelling, they seem to have forgotten the meaning of the word FREEserve.

Yes, seems mad to have had a massive advertising campaign at £12.99 and then put it up to £13.99.

I`m getting mine for £6.49 for 6 months as I was on the off-peak package for £4.99 until they decided to up it to £8.99. Trouble is now I`m on Anytime it takes 10 - 20 dial attempts to get through. I doubt i`ll be with Freeserve after my 6 months are up. Any ISP recommendations ?

Have a look on http://www.ispreview.co.uk - fantastic resuorce of reviews, forums, etc.
I`ve just moved from v21 because they got heavy about weekly useage, and the amount I use was going to cost more.
Now moved to fast24 on the alltime package (need it because I work from home so am on at least 8 hours a day) - was on all day yesterday with no problem, no cut off. Mind, I`m using an ISDN router, so wouldn`t necessarily notice if I`d needed a retry to reconnect - I don`t think so, though, as I didn`t lose my pcAnywhere connection all day. Only pain is they take a few days to set you up.

Troubles with Freeserve? I moved to Freeserve Anytime at the beginning of March and haven`t had a single engaged tone, it always connects first time.

BT Openworld is the worst ISP for anytime dialup I`ve ever had the misfortune to use, 10-20 times before you`d get a connection, and even then it might drop. A real pain.
