Biscit & Breathe!

[Kits]

Hi folks found this link from a google search hope this helps all those of us left in this rather nightmarish hell callled isp land

http://www.btplc.com/news/articles/showarticle.cfm?articleid=%7b82bd3fa3-020f-49f8-a05c-a0b563ba0f26%7d

We all already know about the BT MAC code release but due to legalities they cannot release those on the thus/Eurisp connection...

Jack, I wasn't "having a go at" anyone here aside from Mr. Breathe man - and yes I do feel less than charitable towards all the providers that have so far been involved and would say exactly the same thing to any one of them.

I was simply saying don't worry about responding because I can't follow what's going on with naims/biscit/V21 anyway - the situation seems to change week to week - what's relevant one week is out of date the next. I didn't want someone to launch into a lengthy explanation particularly as I may not have been around to read it given that I don't always have internet connection. I can't see how that's "having a go at the people here".

I wasn't criticising what people on this site have done so please, stop insinuating that I am. This is the first time I've been here in years so I don't know what people have done and I certainly wouldn't criticise them for it.

My only criticism is levelled at the people in my first post.

The present charge of £4.99 (for dail-up customers)was to continue but with a £7.99 set up fee.
Have Breathe already broken their word and scuppered this deal.
The only "anytime package" I can find is £7-99 a month.

DAK what`s happening?

Breathe cannot offer the deal due to not succeeding in getting the customer base due to legal reasons he cannot.

Thanks Kits

I`ve gone back to Fast4 on a £7-99 dial-up package,who I was with before this Biscit/V21/Breathe fiasco.

OH my boxman, dont you think its a bad idea going back to anything or anyone to do with v21, anyhow good luck and i hope everything goes well

 

[boxman]

Fast 4 who I was with for three years before Biscit took over is a stand alone independent company who is nothing to do with V21.
I signed up over the phone which took three minutes,connected as soon as I finished speaking to them and had two emails straight away confirming everything.
I went straight to their members area and logged in and ALL my details were there.
From there,I can now alter my payment method to DD.
At £7-99 a month unlimited,can`t get better or cheaper than Fast4.

I was relating to this article http://www.ispreview.co.uk/talk/showthread.php?t=23518

Quoting "Fast4's Offer to Save Ex-Biscit Users, Ex owner of strangled company V21.co.uk Steve Kaye"

It was just a figur of speach

Hope all goes well for you with your new ISP

Thanks Kits

I was happy with them for three years previously.
The only downside is going from £4-99 to £7-99.(lol)

Having said that,when I first joined them it was £6-99 and then they increased it to £8-99,before coming up with the £4-99 package.
Which,looking back may have been the reason to build up their customer base ready for selling!

Don`t mind paying for a RELIABLE connection.

Thanks again Kits,you`re doing a great job.

In anticipation of receiving my MAC, i have been searching fo rwho my new ISP will be.
Breathe looked promising but now state :
'Due to overwhelming demand we have temporarily suspended new registrations until 12:00 on 19 March 2007.

Please check back then for the latest offers!'

It's now 15:30 and no latest offers have been posted.

Zen does not suit me as I want unlimited dl GB's and a monthly contract for under £20.

Have you looked at some of the Entanet resellers, they usually have a 30GB daytime + 300 Gigabyte off peak offering for around £20 eg :- http://www.ukfsn.org/home/internet/adsl/maxallowance.html

I would also suggest seeing if there are any decent LLU services available as these have lower costs (if you are lucky you might even be able to get ADSL2+) samknows has a checker :- www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php
