Title: Fast4 ??
Post by: curly on Jun 21, 2007, 06:40:08
Hi

Fast4 seems to be unobtainable at the moment. Been trying to connect since 0500. It's my main dial up. Any news of it? Has it gone bellyup again?

Hi Curly,

No they have not gone belly up ;) I think it is just their usual standard of service.

Some seem to love them but this review site seems to tell a woeful story........

I don't remember if Idnet have a dial up(can't see it on the web page) but if you need a dial up that works try this one......  DialUp (http://www.fast.co.uk/dialup.php)

Apologies for not replying to the replies. Having had breakfast I rembered I had a Hospital Appointment. Just got there in time then had to wai. On the way home had a long shopping list !

Fast4 is now back on line, and they say there was an intermittent network fault. I'm still considering signing up for broad band with MAAF, but the right moment financially hasn't come round yet. Maybe next month - - -

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll take a look at the suggested dial ups, but it is really brodband I want when I shift.

This is one of my bad days when everything goes wrong!
What made me type MAAF in that last post I just don't know. I've been looking at so many ISP sites recently that I think I've gone crosseyed.. I'll go and do the washing up and then sit in the corner.

I was very glad when that day was over. The final happening was just before going to bed. I went into the garden to get the cat in.......... and got a thorn in my foot! Now can that happen - I was wearing thick soled walking shoes so it must have got in from the top.

Sounds like the sort of thing that happens to me - the malevolence of inanimate objects.  :o

Indeed, Sam, the downtime usually comes courtesy of BT. :(
