    how do you **** a lily? and why bother with tinet when you can get free access with oceannet and in the near future, dell as well ? the real problem is with TE and metered access and the quaility of the service we receive.

    well? you any idea of what you're actually doing? just move isp. and hecate wasn't even replying to your post, he was replying to slosh.

    that oceanfree thing is sh!te
    connects you at anything from 9600 to 115200, granted 115200 is great but also oceanfree disconnects you after a certain length of time.
    it's not steady connection at all.....

    plus business with a PABX system can't use it....
    no ability to access an outside line. it justs dials straight in...wont let u pick a number
    to use or access outside line
    tisnt great
    altho their email does support POP3, but thats about all its got going for it

    Look, this is crap. I sahouldn't have to move ISP. TINET should offer free phone calls @ off-peak times or maybe weekends if the want to keep up. Plus all free ISP's are crap. You will be disconnected to make room!
    All people should sign this page....
    thanx all. Except butcher. P.S: I was fooling with Hecate.

    I tried oceanfree during peak hours and off peak hours and all i got was crap. Pings of 350 to 500 using a pace modem to Reapers Palace, but using indigo connecting to the same server I get 160 - 250 ping(at 28.8k). ICQ failed to load every time I connected with oceanfree.

    when you dial oceannet, do you have to pay the phone bill? if you do, then its not really 'free', because most of youre phone bill goes to the ISP through TE when you dial them.. its the ISP's real source of income.


    free is like they have in america, free local calls.. unmetered access..

    they do that in the UK allright

    ocean r gonna make their money from adds on their web page,

    in reality it just promotes their name for thier business service, and thats what they will get out of it

    yeah ads on their web pages,that will really rake in the £millons.ocean have something up their sleeve,they all do.Anyway ocean's connects are crap but not as bad as tinet local 6 months ago even if tis worse now.yeah right we're never gonna get free "everything" regarding flat rate charges and stuff.

    TE's privatisation has to be feared,even though the market has been deregulated it will be a huge private co. with very little competition.really,trust me on this.

    Why would Tinet or any of the other ISP's want to provide free unmetered access ?
    All that would happen if they did, is they would up the monthly charge to recover
    the cost of providing the service.
    The fact is these are businesses and they really aren't overly interested in providing
    anything for free. I'm also pretty sure that the last thing either an ISP or Telecom
    want is to encourage users to stay online for hour and hours at a time, holding lines,
    bandwidth, and modems, it could only mean more busy lines.

    And Hellfire, I agree completly. So what if TINET upped the price to 20 quid. Would you still pay? I would I use the net a lot and it hurts. 20 quid a month would make up for it. remember, this is just for free access at off-peak times, Which would be great. Like screaming.net in the UK. A company will give you free off peak calls if you switch your lines to them. But the cheaper the internet is the more lines will be rented. God bless BLUETOOTH wireless comms.

    well to honest andy i didnt even look at ur site, but the fact is that everywhere is getting flat rate calls, the phone companys are also businesses in america upping the monthly charges would still make it cheaper for ppl who spend to long on the internet.
    the majority of ppl dont tie up the lines neway. gtg ill post later..

    won't all this free access have to go through
    Telecom Eireanns lines anyway?
    any company wishing to have free off-peak calls are going to have to incur huge line rentals ..

    I meant that screaming.net will give free off peak calls themselves. Not 'A COMPANY', it was a typing mistake.
