I have recently joined Barclays.net and have found them reasonably good. As long as you are a customer of them, they give you internet access and an e-mail address. Unlike other free ISPs, there are no banner adds etc slowing them down. I have not had any technical problems so cannot really comment on the technical support although it looks like you can phone or e-mail them. There is a limit to how much you can have in your e-mail folders: about 5 megs. They have nearly all of the features that any other e-mail server has and as not many people use it, you don’t have to use a really obscure username. They keep you updated without overdoing it. The site is also pretty fast.
Advantages: phone pay connection - speed not too bad Disadvantages: How much more info do the banks need to know
...CD recently sent compliments of Barclays bank. Ahh I remember the bank giving something away?
The opportunity was so rare I stopped to think about it for a microsecond before slamming the disk in. We went through the normal process and I signed up. Why oh why all those long tedious questionnaires, they have everything on me, no doubt even enough to make me very upset yet here I go filling it all in again.
The Slunk Paused and remembered no access ... ...big brother Barclays but ends up with a reasonable username and password and an on-line connection.
The speed was not too bad actually, and the slunk downloaded some shareware files and the whole of Lotus domino without any problems and at 2.7kbps, which was not too bad.
I returned swiftly to my former account after having retrieved my password information but I was very impressed.
Coincidently I recently discovered that I did not have to even ...

Advantages: Fuss free service, straight forward and simple to use Disadvantages: Perhaps, security checks are a little to lax
I have banked with Barclays sine I was 16 and have generally encountered no problems. however, you may find that interst rates with their accounts are very low, so if you're looking for high interest rates you are definitely better off going elsewhere.
the online banking is very easy to register for and very efficient. although not overly strict on security there are sufficient procedures in place so that your on-line account won't be hacked into ... ...As a bank, it's reputation is well estabilished but competition is so fierce out there that barclays will need come up with some more innovative stuff to win more clients and keep it's existing ones.
Nice fuss free banking for those who don't ask for too much. ...
