fast4.net no dial up connection?

this was posted on the vent boar, then realised there was a speciallised place... i have a monthly 'anytime' account with fast4, but recent days the connection has been erratic - dropping off after 5/10minds, or maybe 1/2 hour.. when i called suppoer yesterday, no apparant concerns were given, they would just do some tests on the line- connection later on was ok, but today? nada.

i am using a PAYG dialup for this, sp please excuse grammar/spellings..

any1 know if they are having problems? just getting a 'call later' message when i ring them (0871 424 0185)

dialup number is 0808 991 6234- confirmed on their site, though calling this from a mobile to check if still valid gets message saying calls are not connecting to this nmuber..

    hello,

    i also have the fast4net monthly dial up account and it has been fine, very reliable. Have you tried contacting BT there may be a fault on your phone line or maybe check your modem settings?

  • I tried to sign up to Fast4net but the dial up numbers were dead and they still took my money. Seeing as I only signed up on the recomendation of this website I'm felling pretty !!!!ed off.
