Getting Mac & What ISP

[dichello]

Okay, That's it ive had it with F2S, When an internet provider can not provide the simplest service, an internet connection that loads all webpages, but still i am unable to get any free sim cards using the o2 links, this might be a silly reason to leave you think? but no its one of the things i use my internet connection for and its taking the mick that i cant get any so what i want to know is

1. What the quickest way to get my mac code
2. What ISP can i move to with a 50GB cap?

Thanks Tom :-)

do none of those free anon proxy services still exist? Would check but not sure trying to log onto an external proxy server would be seen as a good use of my time ! !


edit:
reason i ask if you'd be able to access the website through the proxy server and get all the free sims you need.

I can't understand what the issue is with the o2 sim cards, since I order them perfectly fine each time.

Quickest way to get the mac is to phone sales and ask.
ISP wise, its anybody's game.

Its something to do with .gw2 and f2s has addmited there is a problem but will not fix it, ive waiting long enough, so i just got my mac on the phone, and now im giving it to newnet!

I'm on gw2 and can access it fine.

Good luck nonetheless.

Sorry, but seems a rather silly reason to leave F2S, especially when there are very quick and easy ways to work around it.

Thats not just the only reason, its just like the one that made me make my mind up to move, plus on newnet its only 21.95, and a 60gb bandwidth limit, so thats a better deal as well, and they dont seam to have these continuious problems that f2s has!

Thanks Tom :-)

*wanders over to newnets pages* and in that case i totally agree.. better deal so fair play, Thanks for the tip

[dichello]

They must have changed there prices, beucase im sure i looked before and it was more and thats what put me off changing, but it looks like they lowerd the prices, so im off! I spent 20 mins on the phone trying to get though to F2S, use there local number on saynoto0870.com and go to the bill deparment

Thanks Tom :-)

Be aware you don't get free web-space with a Newnet account (one of the things that went when the prices changed). Also, you MUST request your POP3 mailbox at signup, and activate it within 30 days. If you don't, you can't set it up afterwards, and it's gone for ever. Just like this forum, there's an unofficial Newnet forum at http://forums.newnetters.co.uk/ which would be worth a browse before hitting the "submit" button.

and my brief glance shows that there is no "off peak" unmetered period with Newnet, but i'm not a big user now days anyway.. hmmm tempted. Shall check out the forum

edit::


seems to tell me what i wanted to know

Don’t get me wrong, they seem like a very good ISP, and a lot of ex-F2S users have gone to them. However, the Newnet service is very much a ‘bare bones’ offering, you don’t get any of the extras that an F2S account offers. I guess it all depends on your personal needs and preferences.
