Hello Paul
In reply to a question about ISP's that give you a free domain name I

As one who got up at 7 (and not 1504hrs. as Paul did) I'm replying thus:
1. I'm sure about the adverts...there aren't any, well not on my websites, are
there some on yours then?
2. If their service deteriorates (which is hasn't yet since it started a few
months ago), they now have 100,000 subs. and expect 200,000 in 6 months, and
can handle 3 times that number, so I see no reason to take my name anywhere
else, it wasn't my first choice anyway.
3. After 2 years it doesn't say what will happen, perhaps it will stay free,
perhaps I'll buy it, perhaps I'll go back to one of my other ISPs, UKOnline,
Freenet, or Free4all, anyway the World will end in a couple of weeks, so
what's the big problem?
Mike.
