If you look at the site you will see that it is 10 pence a minute.

And if you look at my post above, you will see that i pay 4p per minute including VAT to dial a 0871 number like Freeola via Zen, not that you will need to use it. I will leave it there as if you are prepared to avoid a top ISP over a very rare phone call, any further explanation seems pointless.

At three months in, Freeola still seem top class to me. had a small query this week and once again the ticket was answered in a few minutes on a weekend - Yes, their CS staff the office on a weekend also.
Being un-metered from 7.00 pm and all weekends, I find even the 40gb service as good as any other, with no need to stay up all night so that iPlayer does not eat up the allowance.


Hi

I am actually looking at possibly moving isp.
Currently I am with Aquiss on their 30gig per month package and feel that sometimes I really do need more usage allowance when I want to use iplayer etc.
Do you do any online gaming with freeola because I need a low ping for online games that I play a lot ?

Thanks

I am not a gamer. My ping this morning http://www.pingtest.net/result/70920649.png Often better than that.

Pointless being calling Freeola via Zen. Why on earth if I subscribe to Freeola would I sign up with Zen to Call Them. Prof. Ha Ha

Have you fully researched what you are talking about? Prof appeared to me to have got himself a very neat and cost-effective setup when he first told us about it.

(I did try to pick holes in it, and failed! winks at the prof smile).

Thanks for the ping results they look ok to me.
Do you notice any drop in your internet speed etc when 7pm arrives (off peak starts) ? It would not be great if you have more allowance but it is to slow to stream movies etc.

Thanks

in any case, 4p is much cheaper than BT calls.
Not when you have a BT Call Plan.

Then you can look up their 0871 # on SayNoTo0870 and call them free on the geographic # 01376 556080 smile.

My speed is constant round the clock. I am a very happy bunny. Many here will confirm that there are not many ISPs that keep me happy!!
