I stopped using Orange about 6 months ago.
I was originally with Freeserve who got taken over by Wanadoo, who sold out to Orange. Just prior to selling out, Wanadoo deleted all newsgroup access without sending a notification. I then got a bit miffed that Orange was signing up new users at £5.00 less than I was paying. When I phoned them, they said that I would have to sign up to a new 12 month contract if I wanted the reduced price. They also changed the rules so you have to give 30 days notice if you want to migrate and if you don't manage to complete the migration before the MAC expires, they will charge to issue another one. Can't say I ever had any problems connection wise with their service but I probably left before it deteriorated. Got the impression that they put profit first and stuff the customers. With Newnet now and happy - paying less for a faster connection, bigger download limit and fixed IP. Tony
