Title: On the Move Again
Post by: Lona on April 23, 2007, 23:24

I've decided to move from Eclipse not because my connection is that bad, no worse than when I was with Pipex but they can't seem to sort out their email servers.

I've got my Mac code and thinking of going to Zen.

My only reservation is the 20gig limit per month.  I have no idea how much I use per month.

Anyway I have till the 23rd of May to make my mind up before Mac code becomes out of date.

Oh, I thought they had sorted out their email problems.  That's not good then is it?  Before you go to Zen (who, incidentally, are in my shortlist), have a quick look at Aquiss (http://www.aquiss.net/broadband-max.php), Lona.  They have a forum on the website, and there are some complaints (as usual, there are always some whingers), but overall, people seem happy, and at least the support guys post on the forums.

Force9 / Plus net have just brought out a new range of products.

Not sure how they compare to zen, basically they have 1Gb = £9.99, 8Gb = £14.99, 20Gb = £19.99 or 40Gb = £29.99 Or you can choose your own allowance each month and they will charge you accordingly.

They are all on 1 month contracts.

I have been with F9 for some years now and not had any problems, the only ones I am aware of are with there email servers last year, which as far as i know they have fixed - I don't use them for email  ;D

Let us know who you choose,

DJ

Thanks for that DJ.  That £9.99 a month deal is very useful for an occasional user owning a holiday cottage or flat.   ;)

Yes, it is quite flexible. For example choosing a 2GB limit is only £10.74 (extra 1 GB is 75p).

I have never used over 7GB a month, so have changed to there 8GB option at £14.99 - down from £21.99 on the previous options.  If i need to I can upgrade this at a later date.  Will let you know how I get on.
