basically they're stopping EU's who don't dial in or use their DSL service
from popping their mail through other ISP's and keep sending a sales ad
every day despite requests to stop. The best thing is they are mailing
despite EU's never ever agreeing or subscribing to their opt in mails when
they originally signed up to the Madasafish service (Iomart sued to own
them).

I'm appalled at the standards of some ISP's these days.

How do you think I feel I used to work for them and was one of the initial
team who started it all off with Iomart at the time.
Then they sold out to Dimview (ooops sorry my mistake, brightview) who have
systematicly ruined it.

I did see the light and got out before Iomart flogged the brand ;-)

Strange how things can degenerate.
Especially as their whole package seemed so good at the start.

ps I meant to say I nearly signed up not sang for them , lol.

Why not just report them to the ISPA in the UK ?

Seems a fair route as the ISPA is making such a show of stopping spam ?

LOL - Nah I like the ISPA members and they have a hard enough time as it is
without me adding to it.
