I have just found a free connection between 1am and 8am on http://www.giointernet.com. It will maybe solve my problem of being cut off every night at 1am. Something I have been trying to solve for months ???
-
£3.99 a month is ideal for a night owl like yourself Lona. ;D But you realise that AOL let you stay on as long as you want if you can put up with all its bad points.
-
Lona if you take a service from Plusnet.com they throw the 1am to 8am shift in for nothing, you could keep Sandra company for longer for free. ;D
By the way Gio are a right bag of poo IMHO, plus loads of peeps who post on the thread at ISPreview.
-
I tried Gio once. Lasted a week. Constant engaged tones, but could be better during the night hours, I suppose.
-
I don't think either of you read my post correctly. FREE means no charge. :P
Tony, I know Gio are Poo but at least it's free POO, not the kind of £15 Poo I am experiencing with Onetel :o

Lona, there is a current thread dedicated to this problem on ISPreview at the moment:

I wonder who that could be, Dave ;). Where do you think I found out about gio? That Paul45, I love him :-*
-
I just signed up for it Lona
I never had to give any bank details and used a "throwaway" email addy so if i only get on 1 hour a week i've gained at that price 8)
Good find I reckon :)
-
I did the same, Greenking. They don't call us "Canny Scots" for nothing. ;D ;D ;D

Lol, I should have guessed, but as I use the name "chorleydave" everywhere (except for one political site where I am known as "Killan Empee") I forget that some people use several pseudonyms depending on where they are posting.

I was Lona, Dave but got chucked off for slating the guy from Firenet :(

I always find it amusing, Lona, that whenever ISPreview ban anyone, they come straight back with a new name and everyone knows who they are. I don't post there very often these days, but I visit every day and could make a list of people who have done just that!

You little rascal you ::) never managed to get chucked of a UK site, but a US one...well they are dead easy ;D
I visited the site and I realised it was free, but I get mine free in anycase. But hey I don't blame you, there are loads of ports idle in the wee small hoors and they will be hoping to tempt you on to a day plan.....support is no-existance so be warned. Mind you when I was with em on a 128K subscription it was fine.....but I was just lucky I reckon.

Hi greenking. Without even trying, you've just talked me into it. I'm rarely up after 1am, but if I only was to use it for five hours a month, it saves five hours of my 200 hours a month with Fast24, which I can then use in the daytime.
:) :) :) :)

Their admins and mods must not be as good as the Pals ones ;)
Mind you we dont need to ban anyone but I understand that at least one of our admins and one of our mods are banned from at least one forum that I know of :o
What have you two been up to you naughty boys ::)
-
bloody hell gaud only knows what time you'll get to bed Sandra with these buggers on for nowt ;D I'll leave you to it :-*
-
I actually had an early night last night Tony :o
I left Lona and Scrumpy Jack yakking away at 2 am as I have been really tired these last few days.
I didnt get up until 1-30pm this afternoon and I still feel shattered ::)
-
I've changed my mind. As you have to give the number you are calling from, I presume they use CLID and I don't intend to give my real phone number to anyone that I don't want to phone me.
:( :( :( :(
-
Don't be chicken, Dave. Put in a wrong digit and then other folk will get called :o
No wonder ispr banned me :wahh:
-

I think you and Simon are the only ones who aren't banned from "that forum" Sandra, and none of us have even made a post there.
-
Yes, my last post there was several months ago, and I think it went 'missing' when they had a server change, or something. My loyalties are firmly with my Pals. ;)
