charlatans the lot of them, whatever happened to freedom and equality for all - we're being persecuted i say

Hey, gazz !

Have you tried the link in my post above ?

The SAMKNOWS site is a very good place to go if you want to stop being screwed by bad ISPs !




And, of course you are being persecuted and manipulated and ripped-off.

That's what you are supposed to experience as far as the bosses are concerned.
Now, tug that forelock or go to SAMKNOWS !

hi ursula,

sorry to say this but i'm not sure how to use the info on your link. found talk talk on the left hand side - the info relates to how many households are within/outside a 1000m limit from my exchange, etc,etc. am i missing something here. even if i did found another isp i'm still tied for the duration of the contract with t/t. i was with demon for 5 years before t/t and p2p was never an issue .......damn, damn, damn. when i get a moment i will go through your site properly(sitting on a laptop at the inlaws being very anti-social just now).
thanks ursula.

Yeah, gazz... I know exactly what you mean...
In-laws really can be anti-social !!!

(er, did you mean using the lap-top ?
Nah, it must be the 'out-laws' !)

SAMKNOWS isn't 'my' site ! I'm just posting a link to it to help others in the U.K. use a source of info that tells the truth about the normal ISP pigs. And pigs they mostly are.

Please examine the SAMKNOWS site very carefully and you will find the info you need to blow your garbage lying ISP away and find something better for you (of course, depending on your area).

Don't worry about most contracts with ISPs... You can fight them...

Study SAMKNOWS and forget the crisps and the beer when the out-laws visit you....
They'll get the hint in 5-10 years !

I am wondering if this is a problem which is affecting more & more people.
I am with Demon and get a good service from them. I don't think they are up to any nasty tricks as I can often get a very respectable download speed.
I have noticed in recent days though, that a download from some single hosts seem to take ages - 3K with frequent stoppages! I have also noticed uploads doing the same in some cases, with the punter eventually disconnecting in despair. My upload speed is potentially 115K.

I have recently installed Peer Guardian after a recommendation on this forum. What a marvellous piece of software which illustrates graphically the quantity of nasty scrotes trying to upset P2P. Please install it and keep the snoopers and malcontents locked out!
