We used to be with Plus Net, and we were very impressed. We changed due to moving to an NTL house, and at about the same time their quality of service seemed to be dropping significantly. Last year I heard many people complaining about them, both in terms of the actual service and the customer service. I'm glad to hear they're getting their act together. In response to the original question in this thread, I've been very busy sleeping lately, and coping with the (thankfully quite minor) side effects of pregnancy. Hugs, Jen

It's due 4th November. Hugs, Jen

Congrats Jen & Russ, Nov 4 ? Try and hang on til the 27th. I'll share my birthday. Stuart

I agree with Jen. PlusNet have got a lot better recently. In fact I had an email from their affiliate manager last week, which basically admitted that they were a bit crap a few months ago, but they've invested in making things better and now they think they are much better! The only thing I would say though is that peer to peer stuff is really slow in the day - they throttle the bandwidth for that. However, I get round this by scheduling this sort of thing to run overnight. * *http://tinyurl.com/3c6gcy The above is a link to PlusNet. If you decide to signup I get 50p off/month. _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://www.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug

Yes, I agree as well. I hadn't got to his post until after I'd posted my message. He's also more active on the mailing list than me, so I think he deserves the credit!
