    That's right, Freeserve decided to finally let me back online on the basis that I spend <10 hours a day online, or they will re-block me off their server thingy.
    :D
    So i'm back, hopefully for good.
    Just thought I'd let you know that.

    Welcome back Gopher!

    Why did you ever leave us? (I've been absent now and then, so I must've missed it)

    I put a topic on quite a while ago saying why I left. It was because my Net Provider kicked me off their server for being online too much.

    Given the name is "Freeserve", I'm guessing he doesn't pay much for the service.

    Was there a clause somewhere that said you should limit your online time. That is serious BS. You pay for a service, so you shouldn't be limited on it's use.

    Oh, welcome back!?

    Surprisingly it's the UK's biggest internet provider. I have no idea why, as you can probably tell from the predicament Gopher was in, they suck. :)

    I checked the site, and they had the right to cut you off for some time (up to 10 min), but not longer for trying to d/l a 130 meg file.
    Seems like any users are restricted to upload TDD.

    Anyway, welcome back.

    BT actually had an unlimited surftime thing, then started cutting people off for being online too much. Stupid isn't it?

    Edit: If you have NTL in your area I recommend them

    [​IMG] Yeah - my friend got cut off by BT *and* Freeserve - which they now use again after BT, which they swapped to after Freeserve....

    I'm okay - I have BT surf (IIRC) you can go online after 6 on weekdays and all day at weekends - I get home at 6, I'm safe :) and BT is faster than Freeserve... either that or I'm just damn lucky :)
