    Well its nice to know that ginger nuts & I are £5 a month fellows, wonder how many of us are left. I really feel sorry for Alared who is a firm supporter of Fast4 but has to pay an extra £2 per month - shame !! I'll let you know when I find that deal for BB. Never hear anything from leosayer39 these days. Asume he has gone the way of all surfers - to BB !

    FAST4 are DREADFUL! They do all in their power to stop you from leaving.
    Don't think about it!

    I`ve been with F4 for the last two and a half years,they were, at one time, very bad for getting connected in the evenings.
    For the past 18 months they have really got their act together and I can`t fault them for £6-99 a month unlimited dial-up.
    Great value.

    Alared & I are 2 of the longest Fast 4 users. Everything Alared states is absolutely accurate. For £6.99 you can't go wrong. As Al says, they used to be a pain in the evenings, with the contention ratio, but because loads of people have gone BB, the service is now excellent. I have not had any problems for months. Don't worry about "they make it difficult for you to leave" rubbish. On dial-up you give them the 1 month's notice and cancel your direct debit (do it through a bank) so in the unlikely event of a problem, you are covered.

    Hi, thank you very much for your reply, now I am wondering,after looking at the fast 4 website whether to go broadband, I presume it is 24/7 for £9.98 a month, I pay £9.99 a month to my isp at present for dial up, just 6pm to 2am and all weekend, do you know if I need to buy anything to go broadband with fast 4? or do they provide it. I am on BT together phone line.Thank you, oap

    Fast 4 are excellent.. I've been with them for a few years now. A while ago there were problems with connecting in the evening, Lately there has been no problems what so ever with Fast 4 and I highly recommend them!!

    Keep up the good work Fast 4 :)

    Hello again, well I have just been reading up Fast4net again, and it appears that I thought the broadband cost was £9.98 but that is only if you take their free talk as well, if you do not take their free talk it is £11.98 hmmm, I do not want their free talk as I am on 18866 which is cheaper, unless one can use both, any help out there from anyone please.......... getting a bit bogged down with it now, thanks again, oap
