Cool Warning To All Those On Btopenworld Anytime Dial-up

If you are connected to anytime for more than 16 hours called "unnatended use" BT disables your account, and I no longer have the net at home now because of it. And they r shitty bastads and the only way to contact them after your account is disabled is to e-mail them [email protected] - I mean its possible when I don't have the internet like I'm at skool now so please feel free to abuse BT as much as possible for me Speak 2 u all l8r if I get the net agen at home (hopefully soon)

The problem with that though is that once your 100 hours is up, they connect you permanenty automatically and start charging you for it.

So if you forget or don't notice, as soon as you go over your 100 hours, you're connected with them, and I think there's some catch where you owe them the first week's payment or summit.

I remember we went through all that shit with them ages ago.

When you ring up after about 90 hours saying "I don't like this, can you cut me off" they try to convince you otherwise. When you get insistent they get really pissed off and bitchy about it.

It's an OK idea if you monitor how many hours you've used and are prepared to shake them off over the phone after 90 hours of free internet, but be careful cos the crafty buggers will try and catch you out.

How come you can't get cable? Are you several miles from your nearest telephone exchange thing like? I thought everywhere round here could get it

Apparently the closer you are to that, the faster your cable modem. We're about three quarters of a mile, which isn't bad. If you're 5 miles away though for example, they say it'll work out about the same speed as 56K, which isn't worth it.

I can see mine fro me house, i didn't know that like!!

My CABLE flies now, i'm current downloading MAURO PICOTTO @ NEC 2002!!

There's loads of livesets I want to download but I'm at the limit of my computer's memory.

I'm going to get a cheap CD writer soon.

Apparently you can either do the complicated way and fit an internal one alongside your current one for CD-CD copying, but for just burning MP3s you can take your current CD drive out and slap the new one in.

I think I'll do the latter. External drives for the same price are shit.

Currently I'm having to find shit tunes that found their way on my computer to delete, just to fit more mp3s on. It's a pain in the rectum.


Posted by G K Murray on May-02-2002 11:00:

When i got me knew comp i payed for a built in CD WRITER!

I don't usually use it, maybe for the odd live set, i jus usually delete what i'm sick of or the shit i've got cos i have no use for CD's really as i'm a vinyl man!!

Cool

I live in Rowlands Gill if u kno where that is evil_bastard, over on the road towards Consett and opposite the Derwent Valley from Gibside. No exchange here, closest one is in Gateshead or Scotswood, which is a fair bit too far away I'm on AOL now, where u can actually speak 2 a person at the other end of the telephone who can do stuff 4 u
