roadster:Has anybody actually jumped ship yet? Any non LLU ISP recommendations?
I too bought a block of data from newsgroupdirect with the discount code as mentioned at the start of this thread, free copy of Newsrover as well, which is fine for my needs at the moment but I really cannot justify the cost of Zen now.
Their isnt a great deal of isps at my exchange for me to do anything about, I can go with orange and aol and I think sky, all LLU but I dont like any of them and the rest of the isps are all 8mbit companies and I dont trust any of them to give me as good a service as I am getting with zen, even though I dont get binaries from zen anymore, but to be honest, I hardly if ever used zen usenet anyway, I have a giganews account and used them religiously.
I was just making a fuss about losing binaries cuz I didnt want them to go as I had them as a fallback incase giganews ever messed up :)
If another isp can give me the same service as zen with the same usenet service as zen had, i.e 5 days binaries would I move ? nope, too much hassle for just 5 days worth of binaries, if a service came along that gave me the same quality of service i get now with zen with 365 usenet binaries and for the same price as I pay zen now, I would move cuz I could then dump giganews and save $30.
But, saying that I dont think I would move to any other 8mbit supplier regardless of what they were offering, the next move I make will be 24mbit or whatever I can get and gives me the best service at the fastest speed because jumping about to different isp's is a pain in the proverbial.
I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In.
