I was with V21, but left them when I left my old flat last year. However, I've still received the odd email from them, but I've just received one that's incredibly odd:

Run whilst you can........... the Biscit is crumbling, what did one shepard say
to the other shepard....

Lets get the flock out of here !

People at ISPreview had the same email,

methinks someones "hacked" their system, got the same email and I left them about 3-4 years ago !!

Hacked? unlikely,
Looks like an inside *support forum* job to me, which raises some concerns for data privacy!

Even reached my old junk *throw away* addy.

Just another reason to be careful when giving out this info.

Shepard? yeah, my immediate thoughts were this was some vague reference to Shepard Smith, Fox news anchor

Here's hoping there's no way back:

The headline reads:

Biscit Removed From ISPA Members List

Interesting read but I don't think it will surprise any of us here on this forum.

What surprises me most is how they managed to last so long!

At this moment in time I still cannot get access to the members area, what a bummer.

Damn! thought this was hot off the press:

Apparently this makes the rubber cheque brigade in breach of legal requirements - I am shocked to the core...

Looks like it`s only a matter of time before this lot collapses.
Anyone with an existing DD should consider cancelling it.
As for debit/credit card payments,I don`t know what your options are.
If this lot takes a load of money out of your account and then goes under then there`s no chance of claiming it back.
How can Ofcom be so slow to take action,knowing that Biscit is now in breach of it`s rules.

I am so glad I changed to Broadband last year with PRIMUS. Get free evening and week-end calls as well, free 0800 customer service and helpline, (haven't needed it apart from early days) free modem and connection. All worked out at around £10 per month. See this thread for unstinted praise.
This is the number direct to Broadband sales : 0800 036 0094

Please Help,

I am currenlty on dial up fast 4 using the 0808 no. I have been trying to find a contact number that works for fast 4 and not having any success. I found this thread. Now there are are 60 pages here and on dial up I will be here all day and more.

Could someone who knows the score kindly summarise the situation with fast 4, v21 etc. Who is paying for my dial up? I noticed no charge last month?

Getting a bit concerned I may get a big bill!

Thanks
