Advantages: reliable, fast and reasonably priced with good support Disadvantages: the modem, and you use your landline phone more often
...read around I understand that Tesco.net may have been overwhelmed with requests for Broadband and their infrastructure was not necessarily capable of dealing with the huge initial demand. I do believe that £17.97 is good value for money, and of course there are the 17 clubcard points each month as well.
Our experience is, I honestly believe, the exception rather than the rule. The helpline people did their very best for us, spending far more that ... ...been good if they had offered something, even a £5 voucher for our inconvenience would have been nice, after all they did disconnect us prematurely. However, dwelling on past problems doesn't change the 'now' and what we've got is great!
The www.Tesco.net website is very informative.
Separate from www.Tesco.com which is the shopping site, it's possible to check and make changes to your account using a secure connection. There is information about ...

Advantages: Compression on downloads, free trial, competitive £13 a month fees. Disadvantages: One too many disconnections at peak times.
...line for instant help. The Tesco.net page also has a pretty good help section to cover off the most commonly hit problems you may encounter.
If I got less frequent disconnections (usually once or twice a night in the week) then I’d have little cause to fault Tesco here on their ISP offering, which incidentally is technically run by NTL. However as I stand now I will keep the BT account running and probably will make a decision who to stick with ... ...will be moving soon (anyone want to buy a 2 bed detached bungalow on the Oxford/Northants border??) and one criteria is that my next place has ADSL or Cable (which I had for two years before moving here!) As far as I can gather Tesco do not yet offer broadband, they only offer dial-up packages. I guess they will do a BB offering soon, as most ISP’s now do so. The 3 packages you can get from Tesco are 'Anytime' at £12.99 per month, Daytime at £5.99 ...

...to search Help on the tesco.net site on how to do it, not go to the email help, as currently it tells you nothing in there. Once set up, I've had no problems with my mail account at all.
Then I set up my newsgroups in outlook express, this was very easy and I was surprised to find there are loads more newsgroups available on tesco than there are on BT's newsgroup list. I do find that some nights between 6pm and 11pm, I cant download new newsgroup ... ...annoying. However I did find this to be a major problem when I first signed up, but in the last 8 weeks its only happened 5 or 6 times. (Not that many for an addict).
Tesco automatically disconnect you if you remain inactive for 10 minutes, you can change your PC settings to fix this, or various websites offer free downloads to solve this problem.
In regards to the termination of service problems. I know people who have used and left Tesco with ...

Advantages: User friendly and very reliable. Three Tariffs to choose from Anytime, Daytime and PayAsYouGo. Disadvantages: You get cut off automatically after ten minutes of 'inactivity' online, with no warning!
...and politely. Tesco.net is a good ISP for anyone who is not totally secure using the net, as they really do feed you through just about anything you can think of!
All I can say is TRY IT - it costs you nothing at the moment for the first month, and you will probably be pleasantly surprised at the efficiency. The software is very easy to install from disc or online. It has excellent, clear and uncluttered screens that are geared to suit new users ... ...scheme easily and also plenty of offers from Tesco! Being Tesco, you will find that your screen is doing its best to get you to shop online, but ignore it, and you have a very good ISP underneath it all.
The three main schemes are Anytime, currently one of the cheapest 24/7’s around at £12.99 per month with no fixed term contract. At the moment they are offering the first month free, with no strings attached. Their Anytime does actually mean ...

Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: server cuts you off, they wont let you leave.
...of these people who thought Tesco.net was the best thing since alot of internet providers when I joined them. Cheap quite reliable and most of all easy to access.
Until that is I came to disconnect in November 02, at the time everything went ok, smoothly no complaints.
That is until 20th of May 2003, this letter arrives you have not paid you line rental for the last five months the sum of £65.37 is now owed to us. Please pay otherwise you shall ... ...now in logger heads with Tesco.Net and I would strongly advise you not to sign up to the if u intend on leaving them ever! I will add more when I finally get a result of this one way or the other! RESULT!!!
After sending them an email complaining about the situation at hand and threatening with the prospect of taking the situation to BBC's Watchdog they have decided that I do not owe them this money and it was a mistake on their behalf. It was obviously ...
