Increased complaints about Tiscali.

Moles and smileys, eh Chris? Mmmm... Just make yourself comfortable on this couch, and let's talk about your earliest memories.

Moley · Mar 04, 2008, 10:31:20

OMG I just found a smiley sig creator......

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 10:32:12

This is a worrying development, Chris.

You'd better post the link, they'll all want one.

I found it easier to create the image then save it rather than link to their site.... but thats just me....

You might be interested to see there are a million smilies on that site Rik.... and here's my two of the day to keep you going....

Rik · Mar 04, 2008, 11:29:12

Help!!

madasahatter · Mar 04, 2008, 11:31:52

Wish I had the time....

Have bookmarked that for future reference

Simon · Mar 04, 2008, 17:20:15

I don't think we'll see Chris for a while...

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 11:37:09

You made it out of the black hole then, Chris?

Moley · Mar 05, 2008, 12:38:06

I did Rik, and I don't think I will ever be the same again.... beware the woman possessing smilies

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 12:42:45

I do, Chris, I do.

Niall · Mar 05, 2008, 20:09:00

I would laugh, but I'll stop myself short of being smug. I made that mistake with Nildram when it was the same quality we see here now.

You never know what will happen to IDnet in the future. Things could change that force the current owners to sell up. Everyone has their price, and in this market a good offer is hard to turn down.

Unfortunately, that's quite true

But hey - in the words of the song - let's enjoy it while we can

Captain K · Mar 05, 2008, 20:21:06

But that's where the monthly contract comes into its own. If any of the big players with poor reputations come along waving their cheque book, the customer base will be off like a shot, which of course means that IDNet might not be as attractive to a purchaser as another ISP. Also, IDNet will doubtless be aware that its their service and reliability that binds their customer base to them, not a clause-laden contract. If those attributes go, so does the domestic customer base - overnight!

madasahatter · Mar 05, 2008, 20:31:34

that would be the one big saving grace, and the one thing that might well save us from the perils of "da big boys" - they know that we would be off like a shot.

the only problem with that, is that options of smaller ISPs to move to is decreasing all the time

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 23:53:12

That is the big issue now. There's just a handful of companies that I would consider at the moment.

Simon · Mar 06, 2008, 00:01:15

A very small handful! I really don't know where I would have gone, had it not been for IDNet. Probably Zen, maybe Firefly, Namesco or O2.

Rik · Mar 06, 2008, 00:03:34

Newnet?

Simon · Mar 06, 2008, 00:07:21

I did look at Newnet. There was a reason why I discounted them - lack of any webspace, I think.

Rik · Mar 06, 2008, 00:09:13

That wouldn't bother me too much. They do have quite small data allowances these days, I believe, though.
