Hello John,Your remarks about Redhotant are very true and as a new user I
also have found your way of using it is the best way,I have not experienced
any long connection waiting time if I use a small amount of patience that
is sometimes needed or watch the TV while it finds a line on it's own.But
impatience seems to be the byword these days.I too,wanted reduced phone
bills and now I have them which was my objective.For the first year I get
168 hours per week which works out at �7.50 per month and in subsequent
years I get the same number of hours for only �5.00 per month,and all my
technical queries answered at local call rates.I did ask a certain person
to tell me where to find a cheaper ISP (all things taken into
consideration) but all I got was a non-comittal answer.is there a cheaper
one I would like to know.Len
P.S.Unless my maths are wrong I'm getting 8763 hours on line per annum
absolutely free is that not worth a little patience.
