This forum is ALWAYS quiet, even when AAISP has issues (I read the newsgroups, I get the status alerts).

Perhaps that is more because the typical client of AAISP wouldn't use "normal consumer" forums that much, and they're just not as well known as Be (how often have you seen an advert for AAISP?)

In reply to a post by wobblyheed:

I was with AAISP for a time. Didnt live up to their promise to 'resolve issues other ISP's ignore.' And I found them incredibly expensive.

Any chance you could PM me your details so that I could look into this please?

I like Zens system. For me I know that im not going to get any unexpected charges. If you have used most of your monthly allowance they send you an email to say you are getting near the limit and you can simply log onto the Zen control panel and buy some more usage.
