Just out of interest, and something which has always been a mystery to me: why does anyone continue to use OneTel?

After trying it when it first came out, couldn't see the point.

1) Unreliable and painfully slow access. Look at the downtimes in any Internet mag - it hovers around the bottom of 200 providers.

2) Your email address gets distorted when sent to many other destinations.

3) Try sending an e-mail to any OneTel address - takes about 45 secs for their site (PoPMail) to accept it.

4) Looks cheap, but when time on-line is double it works out more expensive.

5) Tech Help needs hours of patience and not exactly clued up.

Put me out of my misery - why do you use it?
