I wonder if LineOne have just One Line. I am sick of being disconnected, or worse still, remaining connected but every page you go to is not accessible. Try any page in the Favourites list and... more

    Advantages Advantages good content, no logon problems

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow mail server

    You might think that all ISPs are the same but they're not. Consider a superior ISP that will give you great service and free gifts for signing up. Stop and think for a minute. Just how happy are you with your current Internet Service Provider? Are you having any trouble logging on? Do you fail three or four times before you get through? Is the portal content dull as ditchwater? Ever get the feeling all they want is your money, and once they have it they don’t want to know? How about trying an ISP that will give you a free CD-Rom and a £5 amazon voucher just for joining? Of course you ... more

    Advantages Advantages a satisfying and loving realtionship

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 50p per minute helpline costs

    My tempestuous relationship with Freeserve SurfTime ended in acrimony earlier this year. To be honest, the relationship had been on the rocks for a long time, and I was relieved when it was over. Freeserve had initially been charging me £5 per month for off-peak internet access, but this gradually crept up to £10. This would have been forgiveable if the service I was receiving was good, but it was pathetic. I had to make many attempts to log on, and when I did the connections were incredibly slow. Unfortunately I was so frustrated with Freeserve that the relationship descended into violence ... more

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages good chance of getting caught

    Free internet calls are certainly possible but you need to do plenty of research before you insert any disks sent by mail or posted on your favourite magazine, some companies are not above giving a false impression of their service .My experience of this practice was after inserting the disk with the august issue of P.C.plus i found my settings had been changed to Lineone but no information about the special dialler box. This took a call to Lineone to be told the offer had expired three weeks previously , which i find annoying as the magazine was only issued eighteen days previous to my call ... more

    Advantages Advantages reliable service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages suffers occasional disconnections

    Lineone have provided me so far with a trouble free service and offer a very competitive deal. I am on the unlimited weekend and off peak tariff and apart from the odd disconnection has been trouble free. I 've read a lot of the reports on Ciao about Lineone and they are taking some stick over the quip debacle. But don't let that cloud the issue. Regarding the disconnection thing . Let's be honest how many ISP's provide a totally 100 percent trouble free service for a fair price ? Not many certainly not Freeserve or BT anyway in my experience. The point I am trying to make is Ok Lineone are ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good connection speed, pretty reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor customer support, impossible to cancel Surftime over the phone, 50p per minute tech support

    This used to be my ISP, and during the time I used it, was one of the better ISP's that I have subscribed to over the last 18 months. I signed up during the early part of 2000, to take advantage of the Quip offer. While the offer was active I was really impressed and the few times that it was down, were just par for the course. After all when you pay as little as £5 a month for 24/7 then you can't grumble when they are down every now and again. I wasn't too surprised when the Quip deal finished, as anyone could see that it was in no way financially viable, but I stuck with them until Surftime ... more
