Fast4/V21/Biscit (merged threads)

Options
I have been unable to connect to Fast4 since last night (Saturday, 30th September). Sometimes I get engaged tone, other times it dials but then I get the message "Invalid Username and Password". I am still unable to connect this morning (Sunday). There's nothing posted on their system status board.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problems. I haven't been with them long, but there does seem to be more and more problems.

    Ah it's let me on now, but very slow. Oh well, I suppose we must expect these hitches when we're paying only £4-99. Agree, it's a good service - when it's working!

    I signed up with Fast 4 at the start of September. It was flawless for

    the first few weeks. Last weekend I started to get a lot of the

    following:


    'unable to establish a connection'

    'Invalid user name or password'

    'The page cannot be displayed/Cannot find server'

    In other words Fast4 is having trouble coping with demand. :cry:

    I do still get to use the net as much as I want but not always as and when I want to. I hope they can remedy this situation.

    By the way, can someone provide a correct email address for

    reporting problems to Fast4? I tried the one stated on their website

    but it seems to be wrong. Thanks.

    fast4 have a members area on there web site where you can contact them ,but they dont work weekends .

    Today is the first time I have had connection problem for months .There used to be a thread on here the fast4 connection diary . A few years ago there dial up conection was really bad ,but it improved bigtime .

    Yes, I know they have a members area but I was hoping, especially as they do mention a email facility, to find a working email address. That way I could email Fast4 using my non-Fast4 email even if the Fast4 web access is unavailable.

    I've been with Fast4 for about 3 years and the service was generally fine until recently. I've just got to the stage where I cant trust it anymore and this has given me the final push to broadband - which activates tomorrow.

    After some problems a while ago, as a relatively light user I pushed the boat out to pay an extra £1 per month and joined the dmcdial £5.99 per month deal - which is limited to just 40 hours per month - but has never failed to connect. Maybe a helpful suggestion for some people struggling now who use less than 40 hours???
    (80 hours is £7.99 - again I mention them for reliablity, not moneysaving)
