Just going on to sign up to Plus Net
What do you recommend ? Annual Contract of Monthly ?

Both come with an activation charge of £58.75 for annual or £70.50 for
monthly. Also I notice some ISP's waive this charge if you do an annual
contract.

Also on the next stage you have to create an email account like
me@<username>.plus.net

Can't I have a (E-Mail Removed) account ??
I don't like the <username> field not sure what to use ?

best monthly, then you don't have to worry about finding the money to pay
the bill.

Surely you don't pay up front for full years on a yearly contract - I
assume they would take the money monthly - just you could not pull out
within the year ?

i have an annual contract with PlusNet and it is paid monthly, can't
remeber if there was an option to pay it all at once or not.

you can cancel within the year, but i believe there is a charge to do so
- not that i'd want to very happy with the service from PlusNet

you need to supply a username when you sign up but if you wanted you
could have niaz.khan as your username then have for example
(E-Mail Removed) as your e-mail address

Jamie is correct in that the annual contract is paid monthly but there is a
cancellation charge if you cancel before the year is up. There may also be
some additional charge if you wish to change the account type before the
first year is complete.

In setting up an account you have to have a user name and password this user
name then forms part of your e-mail address as Jamie has explained. The
advantage of the Plusnet approach is that you have effectively an unlimited
number of e-mail addresses. You can put anything you like before the "@".
Can be very useful when you have to supply your e-mail address during some
web activity. Provide something appropriate before the "@" and you will
know if they are spamming you, or have passed your details on. You can then
direct that mail box to the black hole that Plusnet also supply and not see
that spam any more.

Don't think you can have niaz.khan as a user name but you could have
niazkhan. I think I would either use kahn or think up something else. With
khan as the user name you could have (E-Mail Removed) as your main e-mail
address.

Hi
Yes i went for the monthly. That way if you do have any probs and cannot
afford the bills they have no comback for the years money cost a slight bit
more to start but is worth it for peice of mind.
Also I think you have made the best choice Force9/Plusnet (both the same
ISP)
the costommer support is second to none 24/7 and are usualy very good and
helpful (not had a bad one yet)

WELL Done F9 and PlusNet

Best Regs Andy

P.S. you could also put my user name down as refferal if you wanted could
save me 50p LOL (acswain)

I went for monthly so I could get out of the contract quickly if I
wanted.

Might I suggest "gospvg" as your PlusNet username? You could then have
email addresses like (E-Mail Removed), (E-Mail Removed),
etc.

Your username must be at least 5 charactors I am afraid so kahn is a no
go.
