My Move from Nildram

Hi.

Just wanted to say that last week, as a direct result of Nildram bringing in capped services, I migrated to Zen Internet.
I originally went with Nildram because "You paid extra to get a fast and unlimited service."
Their drop in price was welcome, but I'd rather have paid the extra and kept my service as it was - unlimited.

Since switching to Zen, my connection has gone from an average of 995kbps at Nildram to an average of 1018kbps.
The switch-over as far as I could tell had no down time in service whatsoever. My router was setup in advance so that when the service to Nildram was terminated, it just switched to Zen in a blink of an eye!

Apart from the increase in speed, my connection has suffered *NO* downtime. This was not always the case with Nildram. :(

I highly recommend Zen.

Oh, one other thing - Zen's NNTP server - - It rocks!!
Nildram has a *gagged* feed to Giganews. Not only is it speed limited (to I think 250kbps), it is capacity limited to 15GB a month....

Sorry to hear you had problems. I have just been upgraded to the 2mb connection from Nilly's 1mb line with a reduction in my bill of £7/month. The service has a generous 50gig/month cap for the day and unlimited downloads through the night. The line is rock solid and I have been online now since regrade (a little over a week). Prior to that I would be connected for weeks at a time, so I am hopeful there will be no change there.

Unfortunately BT's new billing system for ISP's are going to make it very difficult for them to provide an unlimited service. Zen Internet are an excellent ISP by all accounts and you will be happy with them but how long will they remain unmetered.....

You're right.. the giganews server limitation suck, especially if you downloads binaries. (I don't, but then what anyone does with 15gig of newsgroup binaries is anyones guess ;) ) but then you are paying conciderably more for Zens service.

I wish you well with Zen Susi
 
Erwlas, can you expand on this please and I quote you

"Unfortunately BT's new billing system for ISP's are going to make it very difficult for them to provide an unlimited service."

I heard chat about this but did not think anything had been finalised

Thanks
