roflmho, aint times changed!

Been grouping for something from a long time ago (2002), back in
the days when dial up was the norm and there were still a lot of people
who just used payg to connect. In amongst a load of other stuff that
sidetracked me from what I was looking for, I found a thread where I was
talking to a young man I hadn't 'read' for a while :-)

The amount of time I'm currently online doesn't yet warrant a 24/7 flat
rate
connection. Last 3 months have averaged about 7-8 quid a month. I also
have
a connection to the net at w*rk and do a "little" surfing there.

hmm, wonder if he recognises himself :-)
I reckon maybe that a payg basis would probably break the bank now :-)

Rabbit...

I can remember people ( me included) discussing whether Quip was worth
paying for 'cos they didn't use the connection much so could they justify
the cost.

JoeH...

nostalgia is not what it used to be!!

JoeH...

Me me me!

LOL it made me giggle when I read it. It also made me giggle back then cos
I not only had a contract, I had an extra phone line put in cos the house
line was always engaged with a net connection :-) Broadband actually saved
em money cos I could do without the extra line!

Frogman...

Well my first flat rate dialup was with Quip (remember them?) and I
still get an occasional e-mail from them with my latest bill for £0.00.
Do you remember the connection problems we had to start with?

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

Me too. Still got there dialler box on the wall just in case. i sometimes
use their website to check on their call rates.

Bram...

Snap!! :-)

My first flat-rate dial-up was £12 pm (WH Smith), left them when they
insisted that we used a dialler rather than just give us the dial-up
numbers. Then went to Freeserve and on to Plusnet for my first BB.

The times they are a changin'
