Unhappy

Woftam,
Joined them on the unlimited plan ($19.95/mth if you have the phone with them also, or 24.95 otherwise) this gives you 300Mb/Mth download. Both myself and wife on internet a lot (she major part of day for business) and have not got close to the limit yet.
Speed depends on whether server connection o/seas or local. Now 2230 local time and speed great (ave 3.5K/sec) .
Only have disconnect if idle after about 40mins no activity, and only if system busy. Other times have been on for 7 hrs without trouble.
Recently had a telecom phone on same line in house go off after some months with no trouble. Found disconnect phone, finally new one, and no further disconnects. This was a pain, and I initially blamed One Net, however not their fault in end.
Have never had trouble getting on, but do know my dial-in has spare capacity at the moment. Suspect this may depend on where you will connect to the system as to how busy the system is.
Basically, I am much happier than with my last provider. Please note, my e-mail address is Ozemail, who I have been with for 7 years (before the internet became a novelty for the masses), however, to keep my original e-mail address, I still use their POP server inbound. I use One Net for all outbound and internet use as they have a local call dial-in from where I am, not STD>
Cheers
