Many of the people who post replies here which consistently knock a particular ISP have a chip on their shoulder for one reason or another.
It really does pay dividends to go look in the other forums as well - often populated by real users.
and, sometimes, no posts at all when people are happy

Perhaps you could give a list of names of these people so we all know who they are?

LOL. I wonder eh Tony?
It's good advice regardless of which forum someone happens to be on. Always a good idea to read a lot of posts over a week or two. Then most people will get a fairly good idea of who the good guys and bad guys are. Whether it be ISPs or fitted kitchens.

I've often wondered if some of the "I've got a big axe to grind, but I'm not telling anyone why" brigade frequent any other forums.
I have visions of these people on banking forums telling everybody what poor customer service First Direct have, or on motoring forums banging on about how unreliable Subarus & Hondas are

Puzzles me as well. 
I think he must be referring to all the Entanet PR fanboys who act like desperate double glazing salesman if you mention Entanet throttle their customers connections?
I am sure it isn't me he is referring to as all I do is state actual facts that can be verified.

Does your excellent double glazing have any BOGOF offers?

No idea......The windows came with the house when it was built 5 years ago.
I specified one with windows (us Southerners ain't as tough, you see), and used all good marketing speak when asking for them, so who knows what they came with?

If this thread was in FC, I'd keep replying, because this could be a daft one  , but this is getting way off topic, and no longer has much to do with "Which ISP".

The OP started it by being silly.
|
|

Granted, it probably didn't need to be there in the first place.
Starting a post that's so obvious is a little pointless, but for newbies that don't frequent every section, it might have helped.
The OP stating "Many of the people who post replies here which consistently knock a particular ISP have a chip on their shoulder for one reason or another." Is a little like saying "Hey, Mr Ramsay.....You like to say F*** a lot"

Some pay a form of commission to users who recommend others who sign up don't they?

No, what I meant was....The sentence (if you could call it that) made no sense.
No punctuation, the wrong "there", a missing apostrophe, resulted in the "sentence" having multiple meanings.
Had he said "Some do, it's their job", it would have been perfectly clear.
"some do its there job" isn't the same thing.

shame you dont listen to your own advice and stop littering our Entanet forum with troll material.
|

nothing i post is litter or troll material
i am not responsible for the failings of others who unable to advance a reasoned reply instead resort to insults and censorship
|

This doesn't justify your slanderous & stirring threads which kick off the insults.

If any one ask me to recommend and ISp, I tell them what I am on, tell them the in's and outs, including the ALT on Entanet. amd then let them decide.
The best thing is to have a look at the ISp home page, see what they offer for the price, then have a look at the forums here. TBH, I think this forum is a waste of time, different people have different needs and if they are on the internet anyway, which they would be to use these forums, then why don't they just have a look around and do their own research, just like I do?

What is this button for?

What was off topic? Except the topic in itself is "off" in that the opening post appears to be a thinly veiled personal attack on someone, with no useful purpose.
Or were you just upset because someone complained about having to work out what your earlier post meant, as it wasn't written in English?

I think you are a little unfair there.
Many people may be using the internet, maybe on dial-up, maybe on broadband where they feel something is not right. So they come here for advice.
They are very often clueless, (not a criticism - we are all clueless about something), about how any of the internet works. Recently I have seen two who think the only ISPs available to them are the ones listed by samknows for their exchange - a little knowledge etc. So they need help.
They often do not have a lot of time - the internet isn't a big part of their life. They just want a few people's views on their particular requirements.
Surely asking in this forum is part of the research, and an obvious place to post. Not many people have the time to read all the other forums in depth, over a period of time, and so arrive at a balanced judgement.
And most importantly, I am clueless about where you do your research. The only things I know of other than ISP web sites and adverts are sites like this with the ISP lists and search, Compare page etc., and forums. The only objective thing there is the list. Compare is a summary of opinions concisely presented, and these opinions include positives. The forums are mainly complaints - by their very nature.

the off topic post was not a reply about some people who are paid to post advice about isps instead itsa tease on my speeling which is appropriate in playground or free chat and off topic here in a sensible discussion

Perhaps you can petition the site owners to start a new forum, similar to Playground, perhaps named Cr

Or maybe it would just be simpler to BAN batdog.

batdog, CARPETBURN etc. all make useful contributions. What I find amusing for a while but then irritating is the pointless tit-for-tat posts adding nothing of substance.
