"I want to buy a domain at getdotted.com..."

...but I understand you need either a freeola dialup or freeola broadband account to be able to upload to it. Since I have NTL cable there is no possibility of me being able to use either - is there a way that I can upload to freeola from outside the SR network? Can it be done?

While I have no direct experience of it, Freeola ADSL is pushed as a premium ADSL service - this means it should rock at least as much as any other ADSL connection. This means "yes".

On the subject of freeola ADSL, is it any good for gaming?

It does say, but I didn't know when I bought the domain, which ironically was at a time when I was a modem user. By the time I got around to using the bleeding site I had upgraded to NTL cable, which screwed over my ability to use it.

If I had ADSL, I would seriously consider freeolas ADSL pack, which is pricey but I'll wager it's rock solid. But I don't so I can't, although I might later in the year :o

I have my domain now, so watch out for great things hitting the web any time now!!@!@!211n22

Fair enough. But it doesn't say only, easily misread.

It does...

I look down the front page and I see this:

You can host your domain and connect to your e-mails and web space with either of our access packages:

blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah

I won't and can't deny that it's inconvenient.

I agree it could definately be advertised better. I too only found out about it after buying mine. Infact, does it actually state anywhere that there is this restriction ?

All this may be true but there is another thing to consider. What if, for whatever reason, you decide later to transfer your domain

I asked for my domain to be transferrred in early February. It is still in limbo.

Freeola cashed my cheque and closed my Freeola site immediately but did not transfer it. When I complained they returned the transfer form pointing out that I had not entered a credit card number. Even now, having written another complaint (and just to pander, written the cashed cheque number next to the credit card no box) nothing has been done.

If you have a complaint - write to the company not a buletin board. But if writing twice does not work, what else can one do ? I suppose the next step is the small claims court

All the witty comments!

Noooooooooooooo!

No, but I am starting to get worried about friendly fire...

Does he insist on wearing a helmet and full body armour during staff football matches?
