Having taken an eternity to set up, I am now satisfied that Madasafish will provide the service I require. Many thanks to Samara and Keshlan for all their help.

Hi pct333,

Are you online okay now?

I'd be more than happy to help out where I can if the problem is still occuring.

Kind regards,

Samara

Hi Samara,

Thanks for asking, but unfortunately I am not. The BT engineer called today and found a fault between the exchange, 1500m away, and our house, which was preventing us from receiving the broadband signal, but having fixed this, the ADSL light on the router continues to flash, suggesting that there is a problem with it, especially as the engineer connected his own Voyager router successfully.

I await your reply.

Paul.

What about this free uk calls line, rental inc. 8mb broadband for £19.99 go to www.telecomplus.org.uk/mazari  click on saving at home then broadcall then enter your telephone number to see if you can have it in your area

 Try MAAF i dont think you would regret it pal.......but you never know I could be wrong, but so far i have'nt, believe me i am a Yorkshire man & i know what to look for & how to save £'sssss.....

 

Hi Tony T,

So far I feel like I may regret this. Potentially, I should have been able to use my new MAAF broadband on 18/6/07. Due to the ADSL light on my router constantly flashing and BTs apparent failure to sort this problem out, I am still not connected.

 ' Introduce yourselves!! ' ?

I could not find anything regarding this on Moneysupermarket.com !!!!!!

Ref new BT charge, they have made the line rental £11 for everyone, if you pay by non d/d you pay £1.50 p month bill payment fee so your charges have actually gone up by 50p per month & this is where people are not understanding the new charge..you used to pay £36 per 1/4 for l/rental which is £12 p/month, if you still pay by non d/d every 1/4 your standing charge would be £37.50,

Try MAAF i dont think you would regret it pal.......but you never know I could be wrong, but so far i have'nt, believe me i am a Yorkshire man & i know what to look for & how to save £'sssss.....

 

Bye now tony t

Thanks Tony T,

I am not happy about BTs policy of charging their customers more unless they sign up to pay by Direct Debit, so I may well look at this again.

Have you thought about posting to the forum ' Introduce yourselves!! ' ?

Hi Paul,

Believe me mate it dont matter who you are with now adays for your line rental BT, Talk Talk, Tiscali Maaf etc as all companies even BT retail rent the line from BT wholesale ( i know i work for BT)!!!!.

If you have an issue with ur line and an engineer comes out from Open Reach (a BT company) you will more than likley ahve to pay any way, your choice mate but i have not had any problems at all since October 2006....

By now tony t

Hi Paul thanks for your post,

When i signed up i got the standard modem BT Voyager 210 it came with 2 filters, Its strange how you got only 1 !!!!

I would have gone for there offer of the free wireless setup mate, sounds like a good deal, let me know how you get on after the 19th June, have you gone for he line rental service as well ?, i changed from BT/Tesco Home phone last October after registering with them in aug 2006 & i can say its cheaper with MAAF and the service Teams are very good.

Tony T

Hi Tony T,

I have got the free wireless router pack ( Wireless G ADSL2/2+ Router kit, worth £60 ) but did not go for the line rental package at present, as I have read it is safer ( + more expensive ) to stick with BT, should there be any issues with the line. No news on my 3 missing filters despite an email to care AT madasafish.com

Paul.

That's manageable! I'm sold on Waitrose really because they give their profits to charity but I think they're more expensive. Ty :-)

Hi there ty4that,

My advise is to look at the web site & select the package you need, add it all up & if its what you fancy try it. Talk Talk is probabley more price competetive but it depends on the whole service element etc that you get from the company & ISP you choose to go with.   

Since i started with MAAF i can honestley say i have had minimal issues & if i have had any help from the support team & customer service they have been very quick to sort any probs out.

My line rental is £9.99, Broadband £13.99 5gb ( got a discount in 2nd year) & i get free eve/weekend calls package with the line rental, my call costs are around £2.50 per month all prices are inc VAT.

If you are happy & dont have any probs with your present ISP dont change but if your not A Breath Of Fresh Air with MAAF could be what you need....

Keep me posted Tony T
