Fast4 dialup

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the quality of the service dropping with the Fast4 monthly dialup service? I've been using it for a while and getting a fairly reliable service until recently when I've been getting fequent disconnects and unusable connections, to the extent that I'm having to write this using a different connection.

I've cancelled the service as this is exactly what happened when they became biscit/v21 so I wonder if they've been taken over by another company?

    I had exactly the same thing.

    You might want to read the 'Has your internet gone down? this may be why!' thread over on the Techie Stuff board.

    Oh good grief Breathe - !!!!!!! They've screwed me over once before with there 'internet for life offer'; nice to see that their presence can be identified by an immediate decline in service.
