"Freeola ADSL Official Thread"

Hi guys,

Freeola is planning an ADSL launch in the new year. I would appreciate it if could post any comments as to what you'd like to see with this service.

If you are having a particularly good or bad time with an existing provider then tell us what impresses or annoys you and we'll try and incorporate as much as possible into our own offering.

What do you currently pay and is it monthly, quarterly or all up-front.

Does your current provider block certain ports?

Does it go very slow at night?

Look forward to reading your comments.

No one else has left I think.

LOADS of newbies recently. Most of them can't spell for s**t. They write like it's a bloody text message and it takes me half an hour to figure out what they're saying.

No one has said much about RBS and his notableness.

Personally, I think it's a bit stupid. People are notables because the majority of people vote them in. Except for RBS, who's a notable because, er, I'm not sure really. But I;m sure there's a good reason for it.

Who's left since I have? And what was the general consensus on RBS's notabledom?

Yup, it would seem that way. I find I'm coming on here less and less each day...

Defo got a customer here if its £25ish, or slightly higher. I want a decent connection for a decent price, currently looking at cable so if this is cheaper then I'll definelty go down this route. As far as I know BTO and the like are available round here so that isnt a problem, but like I say, cheap and fast and you've got yourself a customer here.

Sorry, I was just being pedantic.

:-)

Aww, don't get into that annoying K/kbps argument. I want 80KBps, as in kilobytes.

So Turbo, you only want 10 KBps?

That's not very fast.

Or did you mean 80KBps in the first place?

Hey Tony, wassup?

Anyway...

24/7 0800 is worth £12.99 to me with no cutoff.

As for ADSL....

I'd expect 512kbps, downloads at 80kbps minimum, stable connections, low downtime, all for <= £24.99. Also, if you'd get it in Little Ribston it'd be great :)

Also, access to Freeola webspace would be nice, because using dialup is a pain. It's not that Freeola's not good, it's just that we get our net on a cheaper deal and I have to disconnect, connect, upload, disconnect and then reconnect. It's a bit annoying. So... that'd be a must. I am extremely interested in Freeola's ADSL deal, basically because I know it will be quality and I know it'll be cheap. So, if it's available in my area you've got yourself a customer!

If you can't get ADSL, how much would a permanent connection (via an 0800 number) be worth to you? Consider that if you used ISDN you'd effectively have a 64K leased line. Sadly it's not as cheap as ADSL though.
