Metronet any good?

Hi - I am thinking of moving from BTYahoo @ £29/mth to Metronet at £19 per
month with their pay as you go on download past 4Gb (I think).

Does anyone have any good/bad comments about Metronet?

Cheers

Andrew

Yes, we've been using them without any problems for a few months on a
fairly lightly-used line at a monthly cost of about £13-14.

Is this on a different line to the one you have on Netservices, or did
you switch from them to Metronet, or use it at some other location ?

UK ADSL <http://tinyurl.com/5jpa4> - Happy to save cash with Plus.Net!!

We use 2 service providers, one for each office. The first office has
always used Netservices. The second office was originally PlusNet (via
CharityDays) and then changed to Metronet. We changed from PlusNet
primarily because the Help Desk did not appear to have hands-on
control, where as Metronet does. Also, we like Metronet's pricing
policy, which is bounded by maxima and minima depending on how much
bandwidth you use. The change-over from PlusNet to Metronet was pretty
bloody, with lots of downtime. I perhaps should add that while it
might be nice to save a few quid by changing from Netservices to ANO,
the thought of buggering about with Help Desks as the whole thing goes
base over apex is a reason for staying put.

Nicky - I take your point about saving a few quid, but the price diff
between BT and Metro and the PAYG on download is very appealing.

To be fair to BT when I said I wanted to move they offered a 25% reduction
for 3 months and then a suggestion that BT may be lowring prices anyway...
maybe. Also, I have never had any problems with BT.

Anyway, my contract with BT formally finishes tomorrow so I think I'll take
the plunge and say some prayers!

Thanks for all the comments, doesn't seem like metro suffers any great
probs.

Cheers

Hi,
been using Metronet for some time now. Very pleased with the service.
Just regraded from 512k to 1mb.

Tech support is very good. They seem to be fairly active on the forums
at

always a good sign

Been with them for about 3 years on 512k, very good service and no probs
with connection. As other post the tech support know what they are talking
about and they support linux if rquired.

Hmm, not necessarily. Plusnet are also active in external forums, but to
the detriment of their own news group.

Been with them almost a year, never any problems - I've recommended them
to others, who likewise have had a seemless service. Always reply to
emails, always do what they say they will, always bill on time

Thouroughly recomeded
