BT Surftime

Well, some of the opinions on here are about BT Internet surftime, but BT have changed it all, and this is what it is NOW all about. First of I think it is important to write about my circumstances before going into too much depth about the service. I had been with BT Internet for some months, I paid £9.99 for evening and weekend access. I knew that the surftime package was available, but as it only offered the same hours except with the evening access extended to 8am, but as I do not go on the net much after 12am, and not before 8am, I did not see the point in changing things, as it would ... more

I first joined the BT Surftime package during June of the year 2000, about that time there was all the buzz of BT creating unmetered packages available for a set price. Probaly a good move as more and more households were accessing the worldwide web. If my memory serves me correct, sign up was a breeze. All I had to do was visit the btinternet site and have my phone bill handy, the step by step options took me through the rest. One of the reasons I found this package suitable for me is because its charged through the phone bill. Also the off peak times suit me as I only use the net at night ... more

We signed up to BTInternet Surftime last August and overall, service has been satisfactory. Compared to our previous ISP, LineOne, it is nothing but at the time LineOne was not on SurfTime, or if it was they had not done as promised and contacted us. We decided therefore to go with BTInternet, because the user-friendly way in which the bill came with the phone bill appealed, and because since BT Internet is with BT, it should be fairly reliable. First impressions were favourable -- a good connection speed (which I still obtain almost all the time) of 49,333bps, an e-mail name I wanted, rather ... more

BT Surf Time is another one of many internet packages offered by BT. It allows you to surf the interbet off-peak (6pm to 8am weekdays and 6pm till 8am Monday at weekends). ***CONNECTION /RELIABILITY*** Connection to Bt internet is always relatively good, every time it connects. There have been a few instances over the year in which it just wouldn’t connect, but a few times in a year is nothing much to complain about. Connection is always quick, and the dial-up software never has to re-dial. This is one impressive point about BT internet, it’s never says that it’s too busy for ... more

Internet Service Providers, or ISPs as we hear them called - we all use them, and hence, there are hundreds of them to choose from. Some are good, offering a reliable and consistent level of service, whilst others are appalling (see my opinion about my experiences with RedHotAnt and you will see). This opinion is about BT and their internet-ready services, including their 'Surf' packages and their ISP - BT Internet. Ever since RedHotAnt jumped ship with their up-front yearly payment for unlimited internet access, I've been using BT Internet alongside one of BTs 'Surf' packages. Another reason ... more
